Snowflakes made of beads and bugles on wire. Snowflakes made of beads and beads. #1 Simple Christmas tree made of beads and wire: New Year's crafts from beads for beginners

Today you will be presented with a rather difficult master class; we will learn how to make a snowflake from beads and its weaving pattern for beginners with step-by-step photos. It will take a lot of time and effort to create an even and elegant craft. Of course it is much easier than from beads.

The following materials were used to make snowflakes from beads:

— N10 beads of turquoise (primary) color – 2 grams;
— beads N10 silver color – 16 pieces;
— beads N8 silver color – 8 pieces;
— silver bugles – 16 pieces;
— pearl-like beads (diameter 4 mm) – 32 pieces;
- wire 0.3 mm.

Weaving snowflakes from beads

We start weaving a snowflake with a small cross made of beads. We collect 3 turquoise beads and close the “cross” with a silver bead. We tighten the weaving.

We tighten the weaving. At this stage, the center of the weaving has shifted, because we will continue to weave in a circle. One turquoise bead between the pearl beads is the center of the snowflake, everything below is its ray. At the left end of the wire we collect 1 turquoise bead, 1 silver bead and 3 more turquoise beads.

We pass the same end of the wire again as we weave into silver beads.

We pull it up, forming a “picot” (picot is a protrusion made of beads). Next, we collect one turquoise bead on both ends of the wire and close it into a pearl.

Pull up and repeat the previous step. Again we make a picot at the end of the wire farthest from the center (left). The center is already clearly visible and begins to wrap itself in a circle.

Again we put 1 turquoise bead on both ends of the wire and close it into a pearl. We received the third ray of the first row of snowflakes.

We continue to weave rays in the same way until we get 8 pearls. In this case, there will be only 7 rays. To weave the eighth ray and raise the snowflakes to the second row, we collect 1 turquoise bead on one end of the wire (closest to the center) and pass into the first of the collected pearls.

We tighten the weaving, making sure that a circle is formed and the weaving does not stretch in length or width. Again, we put a turquoise bead on each end of the wire and close it with a turquoise bead too. The first row of snowflakes is ready.

For the second row we collect 1 pearl bead, 2 turquoise beads, 1 silver and 1 more turquoise.

We pass the same end of the wire along the weaving into the first of the collected turquoise beads. A “pico” with a silvery top is formed.

We collect 1 pearl, go through the outermost turquoise picot bead of the previous row, and again weave a ray of the second row: 1 pearl, 2 turquoise beads, 1 silver and 1 turquoise.

Let's pull it up. We collect a pearl and go to the top of the next “pico” of the previous row.

We admire it. We continue to work. We make the rays of the second row in a circle. You can do this with one end of the wire, or with both, moving towards each other with each new ray.

When 7 rays are completely ready, then to move to the third row you need to do the following: collect one pearl on each end of the wire and close the “cross” into a turquoise bead.

The second row of beaded snowflakes is ready. It looks like this:

If you are going to make earrings or a pendant, then you can finish at this stage. The diameter of the snowflake is now 3.5 cm. For the Christmas tree decoration, you need to add 1 more row. At one end of the wire we collect 1 turquoise bead, a bugle bead, a turquoise bead, a pearl, a turquoise bead, a silver bead and 1 more turquoise bead.

With the same end of the wire we pass into the pearl bead in the opposite direction.

For symmetry, we collect 1 turquoise bead, a bugle bead, a turquoise bead and pass into the adjacent silver picot top of the previous row. We tighten the weaving, we get the first ray of the third row.

In the same way we make the second ray, moving in a circle.

We make sure that there is no free “bare” wire left at the vertices (marked in red in the photo). The weaving should be tight.

We continue to weave the snowflake in a circle.

When the seven rays of the third row are ready, then, unlike the two previous rows, we will finish the eighth ray not at the top, but at the side. We completely collect the necessary beads for the eighth ray...

... tighten the weaving and twist both ends of the wire at the base.

Cut off the excess wire. We twist the twist to the center of the snowflake. Thus, all the tops of the rays look identical and neat, and the very end of the weaving is not visible. If everything is done correctly, then the twisting will be almost imperceptible. The reverse side of the snowflake should look like the photo below. The twist is marked in red.

The beaded snowflake is ready!
You can complement it with a couple and give a gift to a loved one - handmade Christmas tree decorations.

Or you can make several versions of snowflakes and add them to ready-made New Year’s gifts for family and friends.

It’s hard to imagine the New Year without snow, and the New Year tree without snowflakes. They give it special tenderness and sophistication. So I decided to make a real snowfall by collecting various patterns for weaving snowflakes from beads. Catch it!

Garland of snowflakes

To make snowflakes from beads we will prepare:

- crystalline biocones of light color;

- large golden round bead;

- beads of turquoise, beige and golden colors.

We start weaving by putting 6 crystal beads on the fishing line and closing them in a circle.

Then we weave 3 turquoise beads between them as shown in the figure:

In the third row we weave golden and beige beads alternately, using the “ndebele” technique:

In the next row we continue weaving only with turquoise beads.

And finally, we form the tops of the snowflake from golden and beige beads according to diagram 6.This is the snowflake made from beads.

We attach a large round bead in the center of the snowflake and form a loop for attaching to the Christmas tree.

You can weave a large number of such beaded snowflakes and then connect them into a garland.

Shimmering beaded snowflake

I bring to your attention another snowflake in the shape of an octagonal star. Thanks to the combination of golden, silver and white beads, in the light of the garlands it twinkles like a real star. This snowflake looks like a Christmas star and can be used to decorate the top of a Christmas tree. Give your Christmas tree uniqueness and charm - make an interesting shimmering snowflake from beads!

To make this snowflake we will need:

- beads of white and golden color;

- round silver and white beads;

- wire.

First, we form a ring from 8 golden beads. This is the basis of our snowflake.

We continue weaving with two wires, which are indicated in the diagram in black and red. We braid the beads, forming peculiar triangles with the apex at the base of the snowflake.

We perform these elements along the entire circle of the base, connecting them to each other.

When weaving, we tighten the wire well so that it does not sag.

One by one we perform simple elements around the central ring.

The last element should connect the beginning and end of the circle.

From them we form a pendant for fastening. Next, we bring out the ends of the wire at the base of the fastening.

We begin to form the edges of the snowflake on them.

We alternately form golden and silver snowflake arrows.

After attaching the last element, we hide the ends of the wire.

The New Year's shimmering snowflake is ready. It will decorate any New Year tree, and will especially delight children.

Crystal beaded snowflake

But this snowflake looks like a crystal, a small transparent piece of ice. It is made very simply.

All that is needed is:

- white and transparent beads;

- wire.

Well, fantasy, of course!

The essence of making such snowflakes is quite simple: several circles or elements of a different shape are additionally attached to the base ring.

The basis of this snowflake is a ring, which is woven from 6 transparent beads. We collect a large transparent round bead onto one end of the wire


And we place it in the middle of the ring, and weave one white bead between the transparent beads of the base. In the next row, between the white beads we weave one transparent one at a time. This will be the beginning of the peaks of the snowflake.


Between these beads we weave 3 silver ones. And then, bringing the wire into the central one, we form snowflake peaks, as shown in the photo. We perform 5 peaks in total.


When the snowflake is ready, fix the ends of the wire and cut them.

Using this pattern, you can weave both a pendant and earrings. In this case, weaving is performed on nylon thread. And the last row, for additional strengthening, we go through the thread twice. Treat yourself to a little crystal snowflake!

Turquoise-golden snowflake

This beautiful snowflake looks very unusual and original. And the combination of turquoise and golden beads is unsurpassed. A very non-trivial solution for decorating a New Year tree.

To make this snowflake from beads we will need:

- turquoise glass beads;

- beads of golden and brown colors;

- wire and wire cutters.

The snowflake consists of two types of parts that are connected to each other. To complete the first element, drop one golden bead into the middle of the wire, then fold the ends of the wire together and drop one brown bead onto them. Then we separate the ends of the wire again and lower two glass beads onto each. Next, we again lower the brown bead onto the folded ends of the wire.

We carry out further actions according to the diagram.

We form a similar element on the second wire. Methods for connecting parts to each other are shown in the figure.


After our snowflake is ready, the ends of the wire can be cut off or formed into a fastening so that you can decorate the Christmas tree with it.

You can make many similar snowflakes by combining different colors of beads and glass beads; for example, a combination of blue and silver looks very good. Fantasize - and you will succeed!

Snowflake on a frame

Most simple, but nevertheless beautiful snowflakes made of beads are made using a frame to which other elements are attached. This is the kind of snowflake I want to show you.

To work we need:

- beads;

- glass beads;

- wire.

First we form the frame for the snowflake. To do this, lower 1 bead into the middle of the wire, and then, putting the ends together, string a bead and glass beads onto them.

At each end of the wire we perform the following element.

On each side of the wire we make one more similar part. We continue weaving. The frame of a snowflake consists of six branches.

Then we bring out the wire in the central part of the frame and begin to weave between the elements. We fasten them between the glass beads on the frame, making one turn with working wire.

This is what a snowflake should look like.

This scheme is also convenient because on its basis you can make many different snowflakes, consisting of beads and bugles and adding additional elements.

By decorating your home and Christmas tree with snowflakes made by yourself, you will not only demonstrate your skills, but also give a piece of your warmth to your family and friends!


Winter is getting closer, and today we will make another product from the “winter” series - a snowflake.
We will need:
- beads No. 10; I took cream-colored beads;
- glass beads size No. 3; I took silver-colored glass beads;
- beads with a diameter of 6 mm; I took cream-colored beads;
- 130 cm of wire with a diameter of 0.2 mm.

We put one bead on the wire and place it a few centimeters from one of the ends of the wire.


We pass the short end of the wire through the bead, from its reverse side.

We tighten the wire and thus fix the bead with a wire loop. We only need this so that the bead does not “run away” from its place during the weaving process. After we finish weaving, we will unravel this wire loop.


We carry out further weaving only on the long end of the wire. First, we collect 1 piece of glass bead and 12 beads onto the wire.


Pass the wire through the first bead in the opposite direction.


We move the set close to the bead and tighten the wire. We have a loop made of beads.

Now we put 12 more beads on the wire,


then we pass the wire in the opposite direction through the first bead from this set.


We move the beads close to the product and tighten the wire - we have a second loop of beads. A piece of glass bead and two loops make up the first tier of weaving.


Next, close to the first tier, we make two more similar tiers one after another, each of which consists of one piece of glass beads and two loops of beads.


After we have made three tiers of weaving, we need to make another loop of beads. To do this, we again collect 12 beads on the wire.


and pass the wire in the opposite direction through the first bead from this set.


We tighten the wire. We have a twig that will be the ray of a snowflake.


To continue weaving the remaining ray branches, it is necessary to bring the wire to the base of the bead. To do this, we pass the wire sequentially, first through all three pieces of glass beads, and then through the bead.


We carefully pull out the wire - our branch has become denser and more even.


Next, in the same way, one after another, we weave 5 more exactly the same branches-rays on the wire, placing each subsequent ray close to the previous one. For each branch-ray, we first collect a bead, then immediately a piece of glass beads and 12 beads, after which we continue weaving in the same way as we weaved the very first ray. In total, a snowflake should have 6 such branches-rays.


After finishing the weaving, you need to untangle the loop of wire around the very first bead and twist both ends of the wire together so that the first and last beads are close to each other and there is no gap between them.

Beaded snowflakes on the branches of the Christmas tree look charming and delicate! And how magically they play against the backdrop of garland lanterns! If you like this effect, then this article is for you! Decorate your Christmas tree as you please! Imagine and invent!

Today we want to show you patterns of beaded snowflakes. We will prepare with all our might for the New Year in advance, so as not to get into trouble on the eve of the event.

What is needed to weave snowflakes:

- multi-colored small beads
- bugles
- medium faceted beads
- small faceted beads
- small beads
- fishing line

It is better to string snowflakes on wire so that the product keeps its shape. Use beads of blue, blue, white, silver and other shades. To weave snowflakes with your own hands, carefully study the weaving patterns and examples of finished products. You can always change something in the pattern and weave your own unique snowflake and decorate the Christmas tree with it. These snowflakes can also be used as a keychain, souvenir and gift. The very diverse and beautiful shapes of snowflakes will surprise and delight the whole family for the holiday.

Several detailed master classes on beaded snowflakes

Flat snowflakes

Snowflake No. 1

The snowflake is made of gold and pearl-pink beads with a diameter of 4 mm. Carry out the product in accordance with Fig. 21. When weaving the last rows of snowflakes, you can use a needle, since the hole in the beads is quite large. Be careful not to twist the wire, as this will create small knots and the wire will break easily in these places. It is advisable to go through the last row twice so that the product is sufficiently rigid and holds its shape. The finished snowflake has a diameter of slightly more than 7 cm. You can also use fishing line for weaving.

Finally, thread the gold thread through any of the outermost gold beads, tie a small knot, and then you can hang the snowflake on the Christmas tree.

1st row, cast on 16 beads, alternating gold and pink beads. Close the beads into a ring (Fig. 21, a).
2nd row - consists of 8 rays, 3 gold-colored beads in each ray (Fig. 21, b, c, d).
3rd row - also consists of 8 rays and each has 5 pink and 3 gold beads, forming a picot (Fig. 21, e, f, g, i, i).
4th row - just like the second row, consists of 8 rays but 3 gold beads in each (Fig. 22, k-l).

Snowflake No. 2

This snowflake is made of 4mm and 2mm gold beads and 4mm pearl pink beads. How to make a snowflake is shown in Fig. 22. When finished, this product has a diameter of 9 cm.

1st row - collect 4 gold beads and lock them into a ring (Fig. 23, a, b).
The 2nd row consists of 4 pink beads (Fig. 24, a, 6).
The 3rd row has 4 rays, each of which consists of 5 pink beads (Fig. 25, a-c).
The 4th row also consists of 4 rays with 3 gold beads in each (Fig. 26, a. b).
The 5th row is formed by eight rays, each of which has a picot of three large beads and three small beads. In this?/1st row all the beads are gold in color (Fig. 27, a-e).
The 6th row has 8 rays with 3 pink beads in each (Fig. 28, a-c).

winter snowflake

This snowflake is made of white shiny glass beads, white mother-of-pearl beads with a diameter of 2 and 4 mm, as well as white mother-of-pearl beads. It is advisable to choose a white wire.

Cross weaving is the basis for weaving this snowflake.

1st row- take 14 beads with a diameter of 2 mm and 14 beads and weave a chain, as shown in fig. 51. Close the chain into a ring by crossing both ends of the wire in the first bead (Fig. 52, a).
The ring should lie in the plane of the table.
Each new row is woven with new wire with two working ends. At the end of each row, carefully hide the ends of the wire. For those who have mastered the basics of this method, you can weave all the chains with one wire with two ends, transferring them from row to row (Fig. 52, 6).

2nd row- string a glass bead and a bead onto the right end of the wire (P), with the left end pass through the bead of the first row and string the glass bead into which you cross both ends of the wire. For those who continue to weave with one wire from row to row, string a glass bead and a bead onto the right end of the wire, and only a glass bead onto the left end (JI) and also cross the ends in it (Fig. 52, c). Next, string one bead onto the right end of the wire, and a glass bead onto the left end (Fig. 52, d). Pass the right end through the glass bead located on the left end of the wire. In this row, the glass bead is the connecting link where both ends of the wire are crossed. Now pass the left end of the wire through the bead of the first row and string the glass beads, string the bead onto the right end (Fig. 52, e). Continue working, guided by Figures 52, e.

3rd row- string a glass bead and a bead with a diameter of 2 mm onto the wire, pass the left end of the wire through the bead of the second row (Fig. 53, a), string a glass bead onto one end of the wire and cross both ends in it. Continue working, guided by Figures 53 (b-d). Before completing the row, you put a bead on the right end of the wire, and with the left end you pass through the bead of the second row, crossing both ends in a glass bead, which is the connecting link. When finished, carefully hide both ends of the wire, but only if you use a new piece of wire for each subsequent row.
Each row of snowflakes must lie in the plane of the table.

4th row- string a glass bead onto the wire, one small bead, one large one with a diameter of 4 mm and again one small one (Fig. 54, a), with the left end of the wire pass through the small bead of the third row and string the glass bead onto the left end (Fig. 54, b) , in which cross both ends of the wire. Now put one small bead on the right end of the wire, and pass through the bead of the third row with the left end (Fig. 54, c). Cross both ends of the wire in the glass bead (Fig. 54, d) and string one small bead and one large bead onto the right end of the wire, then again one small one, with the left end of the wire pass through the bead of the third row and again cross both ends of the wire in the glass bead. Continue working based on Fig. 54, a-e.

At the end of the row, carefully hide the ends of the wire; this also applies to those who weave all rows with one wire.

5th row consists of 7 petals, each of which is woven separately. To weave one petal, take a piece of wire and thread it through 3 small beads, as shown in fig. 55, a.
Weaving is also carried out at both ends. String a glass bead onto the right end of the wire and cross both ends of the weed in it (Fig. 55, b).

Then put one small bead on the right end, and one bead on the left, cross both ends of the wire in the glass beads (Fig. 55, c).
Continue weaving and each time add a bead to the left end, and a small bead to the right; the connecting link, as before, will be a glass bead, in which both ends of the wire are crossed. When there are five such links, place one bead on the left end of the wire, and make a picot from four large beads on the right (Fig. 55, d).

Then cross both ends of the wire in the glass beads. Continue as shown in fig. 55, d, f. As soon as you cross both ends of the wire in the 10th glass bead, if you count from the beginning of weaving the petal, pass both ends of the wire through 3 small beads towards each other (Fig. 55, g). With the end that is closer to the middle of the petal, pass through all 9 beads inside the petal (Fig. 56). Next, pass the same end of the wire through 3 small beads lying nearby and draw both ends of the wire towards each other from the edge of the snowflake to its middle.

Then cut off the excess wire (Fig. 57). All subsequent petals are woven in the same way.
In Fig. 58, a. Figure 6 shows options for weaving petals, which will give you the opportunity to weave a few more new ones based on the snowflake described above.

1. Making a snowflake from beads and bugles.

New Year is a wonderful holiday! Both adults and children look forward to it. We all want to decorate our home as beautifully and unusually as possible. I bring to your attention a master class on step-by-step making of snowflakes from beads and bugles. Such snowflakes will certainly add magic and a sense of celebration.

So let's get started!

To make such a snowflake we need:

  • - wire with a thickness of 0.24-0.25;
  • - beads 6 mm;
  • - beads 4 mm;
  • - beads 3 mm;
  • - glass beads 12 mm.

We cut the wire one meter long and bend it at the tail so that our beads do not roll down.

We collect beads in the following order: one 6 mm bead, one 3 mm bead, and so on until we have 16 beads on the wire (8 6 mm beads and 8 3 mm beads).

We close it in a ring.

The long end of the wire should extend 6mm out of the bead.

We string two 3 mm beads on it, one 4 mm bead and again two 3 mm beads.

We return the end of the wire back into the 6 mm bead, thread it through the 3 mm bead and again bring it out into the 6 mm bead.

Having reached the short “tail”, I twist the wire. Thus securing the circle.

We weave the whole circle. We put the wire into a 4 mm bead.

Now we will make “bridges” between our arcs. To do this, we collect 5 3 mm beads and connect our vertices through 4 mm beads.

We bring the wire through the third bead of our “bridge”. We collect beads in the following order:

  • - 4 mm - 1 piece;
  • - bugles - 1 piece;
  • - 3 mm - 1 piece;
  • - 4 mm - 1 piece;
  • - 3 mm -—3 pcs.

We return the wire to the 4 mm bead, thereby forming the tip.

Again we put a 3 mm bead, glass beads, and a 6 mm bead onto the wire. We thread the tail into the third bead of our “bridge”. We repeat similarly seven more times. We entangle the wire in the weave and cut it.

That's it, the snowflake is ready!

Using this pattern, you can weave completely different snowflakes, you just need to use your imagination! Replace the beads with glass beads, change the colors of the beads, and now you have a completely new snowflake!

Don't be afraid to experiment! Good luck in your creativity and happy New Year!

3. Winter snowflake

This snowflake is made of white shiny glass beads, white mother-of-pearl beads with a diameter of 2 and 4 mm, as well as white mother-of-pearl beads. It is advisable to choose a white wire.

Cross weaving is the basis for weaving this snowflake.

1st row - take 14 beads with a diameter of 2 mm and 14 seed beads and weave a chain as shown in fig. 51. Close the chain into a ring by crossing both ends of the wire in the first bead (Fig. 52, a).
The ring should lie in the plane of the table.
Each new row is woven with new wire with two working ends. At the end of each row, carefully hide the ends of the wire. For those who have mastered the basics of this method, you can weave all the chains with one wire with two ends, transferring them from row to row (Fig. 52, 6).

2nd row - string a glass bead and a bead onto the right end of the wire (R), with the left end pass through the bead of the first row and string the glass bead, in which you cross both ends of the wire. For those who continue to weave with one wire from row to row, string a glass bead and a bead onto the right end of the wire, and only a glass bead onto the left end (JI) and also cross the ends in it (Fig. 52, c). Next, string one bead onto the right end of the wire, and a glass bead onto the left end (Fig. 52, d). Pass the right end through the glass bead located on the left end of the wire. In this row, the glass bead is the connecting link where both ends of the wire are crossed. Now pass the left end of the wire through the bead of the first row and string the glass beads, string the bead onto the right end (Fig. 52, e). Continue working, guided by Figures 52, e.

3rd row - string a glass bead and a bead with a diameter of 2 mm onto a wire, pass the left end of the wire through the bead of the second row (Fig. 53, a), string a glass bead onto one end of the wire and cross both ends in it. Continue working, guided by Figures 53 (b-d). Before completing the row, you put a bead on the right end of the wire, and with the left end you pass through the bead of the second row, crossing both ends in a glass bead, which is the connecting link. When finished, carefully hide both ends of the wire, but only if you use a new piece of wire for each subsequent row.
Each row of snowflakes must lie in the plane of the table.

4th row - string a glass bead onto a wire, one small bead, one large one with a diameter of 4 mm and again one small one (Fig. 54, a), with the left end of the wire pass through the small bead of the third row and string a glass bead onto the left end (Fig. 54, b), in which cross both ends of the wire. Now put one small bead on the right end of the wire, and pass through the bead of the third row with the left end (Fig. 54, c). Cross both ends of the wire in the glass bead (Fig. 54, d) and string one small bead and one large bead onto the right end of the wire, then again one small one, with the left end of the wire pass through the bead of the third row and again cross both ends of the wire in the glass bead. Continue working based on Fig. 54, a-e.

At the end of the row, carefully hide the ends of the wire; this also applies to those who weave all rows with one wire.

The 5th row consists of 7 petals, each of which is woven separately. To weave one petal, take a piece of wire and thread it through 3 small beads, as shown in fig. 55, a.
Weaving is also carried out at both ends. String a glass bead onto the right end of the wire and cross both ends of the weed in it (Fig. 55, b).

Then put one small bead on the right end, and one bead on the left, cross both ends of the wire in the glass beads (Fig. 55, c).
Continue weaving and each time put a bead on the left end, and a small bead on the right end; the connecting link, as before, will be a glass bead, in which both ends of the wire are crossed. When there are five such links, place one bead on the left end of the wire, and make a picot from four large beads on the right (Fig. 55, d).

Then cross both ends of the wire in the glass beads. Continue as shown in fig. 55, d, f. As soon as you cross both ends of the wire in the 10th glass bead, if you count from the beginning of weaving the petal, pass both ends of the wire through 3 small beads towards each other (Fig. 55, g). With the end that is closer to the middle of the petal, pass through all 9 beads inside the petal (Fig. 56). Next, pass the same end of the wire through 3 small beads lying nearby and draw both ends of the wire towards each other from the edge of the snowflake to its middle.

Then cut off the excess wire (Fig. 57). All subsequent petals are woven in the same way.
In Fig. 58, a. Figure 6 shows options for weaving petals, which will give you the opportunity to weave a few more new ones based on the snowflake described above.
