Weaving an Easter egg in the colors of lily of the valley from beads in the style of the Faberge jewelry egg "Lilies of the valley"

From this master class you can learn how to weave an Easter egg in the colors of lilies of the valley from beads with your own hands.

Let's try to weave an Easter egg in lily of the valley flowers from beads. We recommend painting the Easter egg blank in one semi-bright tone, for example, pink. Then we start braiding the Easter egg with a gold-colored flower crown. we lead the main golden branches on the sides of the egg. Further, a fine white mesh is added to the weave. After preparatory work, let's take up the weaving of the base-stand, from which a wonderful bouquet of snow-white pearl lilies of the valley will grow. A bouquet of wicker lilies of the valley tightly wraps around an Easter egg and is an extraordinary masterpiece of beaded art.

This is a beaded Easter egg. To make such an egg, take a couple of shades of beads and use straight weave sheathe the blank, strongly stretch the flower.Next, completely sheathe the egg sample with beads. You need to sheathe with direct weaving, stretching the colors as much as possible. If desired, you can use plain beads.

To make lilies of the valley, you need plastic "pearls" of different sizes.

Gold metallized thread, wire size 0.3-0.4 mm, universal glue.

This is a vise that must be sealed with a plaster in 2 layers. In this way, we will not be able to damage the fragile beads.

Using a toothpick, install the bead, clamp it in a vise, cut off the top of the head with a nail file to get a flat snout.File the top of the bead with a rough nail file so that it becomes flat.

Fold the golden thread in two and string 6 white pearl beads on itand put this ring through a couple of times. It is necessary to go through the pearl ring several times, so that the holes are tightly "clogged". Thread the tails of the thread towards each other into a bead of size 15, then tie them. Thread a 0.3 mm wire into the same bead.

Thread all tails of wire and thread into a bead with a sawn top. Apply a little glue to the saw cut and, in order to press the bead ring to the bead, pull the threads and wire. Glue can get on your fingers, so you need to make sure that there is not too much glue and it is not squeezed out onto the outside of the beads.

Wrap around the long end - wrap the wires and threads to tightly close the hole in the bead. The thread is stiff and can unwind, so you need to pull it and clamp it with your own hands (fix it) in the wire. Collecting one bead takes approximately 5 minutes. We continue to create an Easter egg with lilies of the valley with our own hands.

Collect and wrap all the beads.Do the above procedure with all the beads for the normal weaving of an Easter egg.

Fix the smallest top bead with a long wire and a long thread in 2 additions.To fix the smallest top bead, you need to double the long wire, thread and thread them into a size 15 bead. Put on beads of different sizes on this wire, firmly winding them through 5-6 mm. Cut the wire diagonally and fix the next bead in the same place. Leave the wire of the final bead and wrap it around all 4 wires to the end.Do not cut the wires from the extreme bead, and wind all four wires to the end.

By using hand weaving, along the wire, sew leaves of different sizes, shortly cut the twisted wires.We sew bead leaves of different sizes by hand on a 0.4 mm gold wire, cut the twisted wires.

We sew the stems of lilies of the valley from beads to the leaves, we sew the leaves together, the wires need to be twisted and twisted with threads in color.Sew the stems of lilies of the valley to the leaves, the leaves between each other, twist the wires tightly and wrap them with thread. Using pliers, flatten the twisted wire.Using pliers, flatten the twist.

We are modeling a stand... but be careful, this stand was made up to lilies of the valley and for the beaded egg itself it was just right, but for the "flower egg" it turned out to be cramped. The size of the stand will depend on the size of the beaded egg.Sew eight rows in turn and make a flare for three rows of Ndebele, put down with beads. The top is larger than the bottom, you can make the same flare on 2 sides - it will also turn out beautifully.My egg is designed for Ndebele 48 beads size 10. For the "vase" you need to flash 8 rows in stages and make a flare for 3 rows of Ndebele, alternating with beads. The bottom of the stand can be made smaller, and the top larger, the same flare will also look good.

If the egg comes out heavy, then the supply must be strengthened. Then a coil from a narrow adhesive tape is well suited, glue a circle of plastic through its hole.
Sew four golden Ndebele stripes onto two beads onto the shirt of the egg so that the egg is divided into four identical segments. Then, try on the stand and mark the beaded row where the stand has reached - from this line, sew the stems of the bouquets. Attach the bouquet, fix the flowers with rubber, and sew to the shirt tightly. Sew on two branches of lilies of the valley on nondebel ribbons.
Next, you need to sew the stand. The beginning of the bouquets with the layout should turn out on the middle petals of the stand. Slowly, sew the stand to the bouquets and layout.
The stand must be strong, as the egg is not at all light. I strengthened my "vase" with a spool of tape, closed the hole in the "bottom" with a piece of plastic. If someone wants to look under the stand, then everything is also in order.
On the shell pass For a halal egg, sew 4 golden Ndebele stripes into 2 beads of size 15, the beaded egg should be divided into 4 even parts. Then check if the egg holder fits. If yes, then mark the row on the egg to which the stand reaches, lily of the valley stalks will be sewn from this line (the beginning of the thread winding should be on the marked row), fasten the bunches with an elastic band so that they do not move, and firmly sew eggs to the shirt. Sew on 2 sprigs of beaded flowers for each unbreakable ribbon.
Now the task becomes more complicated... The egg can only be taken by the stand and crown, which is very inconvenient, so the stand must be sewn to the egg. The beginning of the bouquets should be at the level of the middle petals of the "vase", as well as the layout itself. The stand must be sewn to both the beaded bouquets and the layout (be careful, the fishing line can catch on anything).

At the end, sew the crown to the layout and the central branches of the lilies of the valley to the shirt. Sew them by the stem among the first and second beads.
Now straighten, with the help of tweezers, the flowers-leaves. Easter egg made of beads!!!

The last step is to sew the crown to the layout and the central branches of beads to the egg shell. They need to be sewn neatly by the stem between 1 and 2 beads. Then spread the leaves and flowers of lilies of the valley with tweezers. Easter egg from beads!!!

From 1885 to 1916, Carl Faberge (the court jeweler of the royal family) presented the king with 1 egg a year - a jewelry masterpiece. In total, Faberge created 50 Easter eggs for the imperial family. Tsar Alexander III gave Easter eggs Faberge to his wife Maria Feodorovna, and Tsar Nicholas II gave eggs to his mother and wife Alexandra Feodorovna. To date, only 42 eggs have survived.

Before the revolution, the Easter holiday was a favorite for the people of Russia, and by the end of the 19th century, the Easter holiday had acquired universal significance, Easter products began to be produced by Easter. Easter eggs from various materials were produced in large numbers. So one day, Ballerina Matilda Kshesinskaya told how, for the Easter holiday, she was presented with an Easter egg made of live lilies of the valley, to which a miniature precious egg in the form of a keychain was attached. She was also given a straw egg, inside of which were packaged Faberge jewelry. Jewelry Easter eggs by Carl Faberge are recognized as the pinnacle of Easter applied art, Faberge eggs are a symbol of the era.

Ordering an egg for the king must be completed under three conditions: egg-shaped, a surprise related to the event in royal family and the work must not be repeated. The jewelry egg was presented to the tsar by Carl Faberge himself or by his son Eugene.

And this is the Faberge Lily of the Valley Egg made in 1898. The jewelry egg was presented by Tsar Nicholas II to his wife, Empress Alexandra Feodorovna, on the Easter holiday in 1898.

On the Faberge egg of Lily of the valley, 3 medallions with a portrait of the emperor and 2 eldest daughters of the emperor - Olga and Tatyana are put forward.

Many details of the outer decoration of the egg, from frames and scallops made of gold of various shades to leaves and flower stems, are attached to the egg shell thanks to miniature clasps. The clasps themselves are soldered to the back of the parts that are attached. Then they were bent along the inner surface of the shell.

Due to the fact that the eggs were fastened with clasps and loops, they could be disassembled for care or repair. The "shell" of the egg was enamelled using the Faberge technique. If the egg consisted of 2 parts that open, then the decoration should have masked the edges of the closing halves. When holes were drilled into an egg in an enameled shell, it was immersed in water so that the drill would not overheat and damage the enamel.

The surprises of the eggs were different - miniature models made of precious materials, jewelry, images of people, events and places of the imperial family. Usually, the detail of the outer body of the egg was what hid the surprise. Spring-hinged mounts are designed so that when the “shell” is pressed, it opens smoothly. If you click on the pearls on the sides of the jewelry egg in the crown, which is located on top of the egg, then miniature portraits of the emperor and his daughters, Olga and Tatyana, rise. A simple gear mechanism raised and lowered 3 portraits. It can be said that ingenious secrets are revealed and set in motion by ordinary clockwork mechanisms.

Jewelry egg maker Mikhail Perkhin. The Easter egg is created in Art Nouveau style. It is said that this is the most favorite egg of the Empress.

The first owner of the Easter jewelry egg was Alexandra Feodorovna. Then the jewelry egg was sold to Emanuel Snowman (London). Since 1935, the egg has been owned by Charles Parsons (London). In 1948, the jewelry egg was sold again to Emanuel Snowman (London). And in 1978, the egg became part of the Forbes Collection (New York). In 2004 Viktor Vekselberg (Moscow) became the owner of the egg at Sotheby's (New York).

Ancient peoples considered the egg to be the prototype of the universe. This applies not only to our ancestors, but also to the ancient Egyptians, Persians, and Greeks. It is on Easter eggs that archaic ideas about life and death have survived to this day. In pre-Christian times, Easter eggs were part of the customs dedicated to the meeting of spring. Today, pysanka is strongly associated with the resurrection of Christ and the Easter holidays.

Pysanky are elaborately painted Easter eggs. Ukrainian Easter eggs are real works of folk art.
For the drawing of Easter eggs, elements of the plant and animal world are used, geometric figures. Each region of Ukraine had its own characteristic ornament and color. In the Carpathian region, eggs were dyed yellow, red and black, in the Chernihiv region - in red, black and white, in the Poltava region - in yellow, light green, white.

Pysanka was not drawn, not painted, but written on a raw chicken egg. Every line on a Easter egg is an arc.The arcs form circles and ovals and, intersecting, divide the surface of the egg into fields, the name of which is the baptismal pisanka.

Easter crafts with children - basket

I want to offer you original idea- make a basket with your own hands, but not from paper or beads, but from cardboard and fabric. The craft will again be simple, designed for children.

All you need to make it is a sheet of cardboard large enough to cut out a circle with a diameter of 25 cm and strips of fabric cut from old T-shirts.

At the end of the post there is a template for the basket, which you can print out and trace around on a suitable sheet of cardboard (the cardboard for the basket should not be thick, otherwise it will not bend well).

Step 1. Cut out a blank from cardboard for the future Easter basket.

Step 2. Having prepared a circle, we take a strip of fabric. We tie a knot at the end and fix it between the "petals" of the basket.

Step 3. We begin to form the bottom, passing the fabric strip from above, then from below the cardboard "petals". When the strip ends, the end should be glued from the inside of the basket and pause for the glue to work. Tie a knot on the next strip and pass it under the non-glued part of the previous strip.

Step 4. Having finished forming the bottom of our Easter basket, we begin to make the walls. To do this, lift the "petals" and fix them in this state with the help of fabric strips (and glue, if necessary).

Step 5. We continue to wind the strips of fabric to the very top. We glue the last strip along the top of the basket from the inside - so that it does not move out. Easter craft- the basket is ready.

It remains to put eggs in it. You can also pre-fill it with "grass".
