Bead flower

Materials:

- Beads (at least 2 colors) - green (not less than 40 g) for leaves and buds, and the rest (at large can go about 100 g) for large buds and flowers; 
- wire 0.3 and 0.4 (I'm working with two types of wire, but you can with one) for leaves and flowers; 
- rod or thick pieces 3-4 mm thick and 80 cm long (high) or shorter; 
- wire cutters, tweezers (it is convenient to bend the wire ends), pliers ; 
- green thread (the material does not matter), PVA glue, ruler, scissors.

hese are not the leaves that near the stem - are small (like taffy) leaves near each flower buds and blooming. 
As planned, I had 4 large bud and 7 flowers. Each comes with 2 of leaf - only 22 pcs. 
leves have an axis of 2 cm and 4 arc. Between 3rd and 4th axle arches add an extra 2 to give the leaf beads acute form. Length of thick wire axis 8 cm


STEP 2: GREEN BUDS

Although there are varieties that have up to 30 buds: we will make them for all four. It will be 4 green leaf of different sizes. I gained two shades of green beads, but you can use one. 
axis at all identical 2cm Quantity arcs 4, 5, 6 and 7. axis wire length 10 cm


STEP 3: LARGE (BLOSSOMING) BUDS

These buds are not only the petals, but on 2 leaves. All of them are of different size and number of petals also different. Made to our flower was like this. 
first and second buds (they are pictured below) have one petal axis 2 cm, 4 and 6 arcs, respectively; third bud consists of two lobes (above right) - such as two-lobe, and that the first two buds, than one second greater; fourth bud (pictured above left) consists of one small and two large lobe. Please note, no one big picture: he will twisted, and the rest will be around him.
STEP 4: GLADIOLUS FLOWERS
Gladiolus flower consists of 6 petals (shares), three in the top tier and three in the bottom; pistil and three stamens. Petals are all different, but we can do four of them the same size, and the two necessarily long and narrow. 
In my version was 3 petals with axis 2 cm 5 arcs (length 10 cm thick wire), 2 narrow axis of 2.5 cm 3 arc , 1 small axis 1 cm 5 arcs (for narrow petals and a small length of thick wire 8 cm). All the petals before the last arc scored 2 beads on the axle. 

Total flowers on a spike, disclosed at the same time is 7-9 (only in rare varieties are more). I did 7 pcs. You can still make flowers of different sizes: 
for example, 4 small and 3 large.

For all large axis increase by 5 mm. 
Pestle 3 cm high with three loops on 1 cm piece of thin wire 20 cm Three stamens 3 cm with eyelets 2 cm 15 cm wire loop gain Initially, twist the wire with beads on middle, perform more loops (for pestle), then dial the two ends of beads.
STEP 5: ASSEMBLING FLOWER

Narrow petals always are placed in the top tier. Flower tilted, so they are either at the bottom of the flower, or (more rarely) at the top. Small petal always at the bottom in the second tier. Three large petals one is in the top tier, two at the bottom. All three are located in the upper part of the flower. 

Twist together all the stamens, pistil add. Start winding the thread. Take one large lobe and two narrow, position them so that the narrow petals were with stamens and large petal pestle.

Now attach the second tier between the narrow little petal, then the remaining large, respectively. All threads wind 5 cm and fluff glue. Behind seen as settled onto the second tier. 
Repeat this procedure for all the other flowers.
STEP 6: BUILD A GLADIOLUS
When all the elements are ready to begin assembly. Usually flowers and buds on the stem attached in two rows - right and left. Take a piece of thick wire 3-4 mm long and 80 cm or rod and bend the 3 cm and seal the threads. Take four green bud and twist them straw.

Fasten the first, the smallest, bud - dress him with a rod, and then wrapped with stem 3 cm and secured, for example, to the right, the second bud. Since departing between buds 2-3 cm fasten the rest in ascending order, alternating left-right side. After each item, do not forget promazyvat glue stem. 
Now you need to attach a large buds with leaves. Distance between buds also see 3 Besides, I added another piece of wire to the stem (and all of them I have three.) 

Take a small petal and twist it as well as the previous ones, attach it to the stem; Wrap a little stem and fasten with two leaf so that attaching a bud was closed.

Second bud (large petal) twist and stick similar to the first. 
third bud, large petal twist and attach a small and a little bend to the side. Add leaves. 

Fourth bud: one large flap (not shown) to twist and bend and attach remaining. Add leaves.

Turn to flowers. At this point I added a third piece of wire to the main stem. Bend the stem of the flower - from flower to bend 3-4 cm, narrow petals and stamens in the lower part of the flower. Fasten the flower on the stem, wrapped with 3 cm and fasten leaves. Repeat for all flowers. All seats not forget the glue. 
After the last flower stem wrap to the desired length and cut (as always, grinder) extra ends. For example, my turned 65 cm in height. 

give shape to the flowers: vygnite pistil and stamens as in the photo, bend all the petals.
