The cross from beads

A cross made of beads, made by own hands, looks very nice. The main thing is to choose the colors of beads for it. Most often white, gold and black are used. Depending on the method of weaving , a cross from beads can be smooth or convex, acute or lace. In this article, you will learn how to perform an openwork cross.

Progress:

Begin to weave a cross from below:

  1. Cut off 1.5 m of the line. We type on it 1 gold bead and 5 white beads. We insert the second end into the bead from the opposite side and tighten. We got a bead with a "cover".
  2. We collect for each thread 1 gold bead and 5 white beads. The end of the line is again passed through the bead and tightened.
  3. We pass both ends of the line in opposite directions into a white bead and pull it up.
  4. String on each side of 3 gold beads, and then pass both ends into a white bead (in opposite sides) and tighten.
  5. Similarly we do so with 4 more beads.
  6. We collect on the left fishing line a gold bead and a white bead, and on the right line - a gold bead, a white bead and a white bead.
  7. The right end is passed into the bead on the left fishing line and tightened.
  8. At the left end, we put on 6 white beads and pass the fishing line through the gold bead and bead to make a bead with a "cover".
  9. String on the right end of the white bead, we pass both ends into a gold bead and tighten.
  10. On the left line we string gold bead, white bead, 2 times 3 gold beads and beads, and on the right - white beads and gold beads with beads.
  11. Repeating the paragraph number 8, we carry out 3 beads with a "wrapper".
  12. We pass the left line with the beads going around the bead with the "cover" through the white bead against the direction of the main thread. We tighten it.
  13. String on it 3 gold beads and pass the end to the next bead in the same way.
  14. We repeat point 13. Now we have one more side of the cross ready.
  15. We pass the left end to the last bead on the right side.
  16. Repeating items # 8 and # 9, perform a turn.
  17. Similar to the execution of the second side of the cross (points number 10-16), we first perform the third and then the fourth side. Between them, make a turn, repeating points number 7,8,9.
  18. Fig. 35,36,37
  19. After the fourth side, do not completely turn. It is necessary to stop when we have a white bead on our right side, and a bead with a "binding" on the left.
  20. We pass both ends of the line in a golden bead, as shown in the photo, and tighten.
  21. Fig. 39,40,41
  22. We pass the ends of the line along the circle through the braided beads. It is important that they come from different beads, but very close.
  23. Then they need to be linked together, cut off the excess and the cross is ready.

It turned out a big cross made of beads. To reduce its size, you should take a large beads instead of beads and slightly reduce the amount of beads for a braid.
