There are people who from the most ordinary things can create a real work of art. Here, for example, multi-colored beads and chicken eggs. What is common in them - the needlewoman knows. Easter eggs from beads - this is a real masterpiece, which is not a sin to compare with the famous Faberge eggs.

This method of decor is especially popular on the eve of the bright holiday of Easter. Such eggs can be given to friends and relatives, decorate a festive table. And how they will be delighted with children! In fact, to create an Easter egg from beads is quite simple. You just need to stock up on simple tools, patience and materials.

To braid the original Easter eggs with beads, you will need:

• Beads. It is best to take Czech beads, because it is unique in its consistency. Chinese will do, if you do not make a complicated drawing.
• The line, which is sold in the stores of goods for needlework or among fishing gear. The diameter of the line should be 0.2 mm. The thicker can not pass through the bead, and the thinner one can easily break.
• The basis. It can be a wooden blank, plastic eggs, a piece of gypsum, an empty egg shell, from which the contents were blown.
• Schematic drawing. It will be needed for a complex ornament - for simple transverse strips it is not necessary.
• Scissors, needle, pin.

The first stage of the work will be drawing the desired pattern of the drawing. It should be performed on checkered paper. Experienced masters offer to calculate the scheme and weave Easter eggs from beads from the middle, as it is always easier to reduce than to expand. Next, you need to calculate the girth, which is done only for complex patterns. It is necessary that your workpiece densely fit into a ring of beads, and not slip through it. Please also note that the line is stretching. The next part is the weaving itself, which can also be performed by various techniques. All these techniques can be found in a variety of books on beading.

From time to time you need to put your weaving to workpiece, try on the dimensions. After the wide part of the shell is ready, the ends should be rounded. It is better to start from the lower end, and after completing this work, go to the top. To braid the upper part of the egg, the cover must be clothed on it, whereas the previous part of the weaving could be carried out separately.

There is one more nuance in the situation when you create Easter eggs from beads with your own hands. Whichever long line you take, sooner or later it will end. It is recommended to take it no larger than the length of two hands: then it will end approximately in the middle of the weaving, and the place of connection with the ends will be easier to hide. It is better to connect a fishing line with a triple knot, since at a double knot it slips and can untie.

Easter eggs from beads - a matter of painstaking, requiring perseverance and a certain skill. But it's hard only for the first time. And when you see the result, you will want to create further. It's worth it! In addition, such a creation of your hands can not be unnoticed. You have invested in him your heart and soul, and this is the best gift.
