Lily flower
To weave a lily flower from beads you will need: white beads, golden beads, 3mm thick wire.
The flower consists of 6 petals and a stamen. We put 20 beads on a 40 cm long wire and make 4 full arcs around it, i.e. first 15 beads, twist the wire, adding beads each time.
You should get a beautiful petal. Thus we make 6 pieces.
For the center, cut a wire 30 cm long. For the center, we need to make 5 stamens, at the top of each we attach a golden bead.
We thread a large bead onto the wire, fold it in half and put beads on the two wires (a different color is possible). The number of beads should not exceed 18 pcs.

Next, we make the row with a mosaic, only in a different color.
We should get a petal inside with one color, outside with another. Thus, we make 5 petals.
The next step is to connect the petals to each other using fishing line. All 5 parts must be collected into a single flower. The center of the middle can be decorated as desired. The finished flower can be attached either to a hairpin or to a bobby pin with glue.

Interesting video: making an accessory yourself
You will need: a metal base for the headband, scissors, satin ribbon, 4mm thick gamma wire, 12, 8 and 6mm beads, drop-shaped beads of two sizes and small transparent beads at your discretion. Cut 20 cm from a coil of wire, fold it in half and thread the first transparent bead. We pushed it to the middle of the wire and twisted it a little to secure it.
Next, we pass a drop-shaped bead to the transparent bead, immediately through two pieces of wire. Next we thread the bead at 12mm, 8mm and 6mm. The result was the first blank. In exactly the same way we make 6 more blanks. But in each subsequent workpiece, we reduce one bead in the set. At the very end you should get one bead. We will fix the resulting pattern in the center of the rim.

We take our first piece, separate the edges of the wire and place it in the middle of the rim. We stretch it so that the beads do not dangle and wrap the rim with the remaining wire, pressing it tightly against each other. Next, take the next piece, step back a little and wind it in the same way. The outermost one comes with one bead. To prevent the wire from sliding along the rim, you can fix it with glue.
We decorate the traces of assembly of the tiara with a satin ribbon. Apply glue to the edge of the tape from the wrong side, secure it at the very beginning of the rim and begin winding. In this way we tightly wrap our entire base. All traces of the wire should be hidden under the ribbon. Wrap it to the end and secure the edge of the tape with glue. The tiara is ready.

We roll the workpiece in the form of a chamomile petal, and twist the ends together. This way we make 8 petals.

When they are all put on, we move them 50 cm, this will be our center of the branch. Take the first bead and twist it at a distance of 2 cm until the bead is tightly attracted. At a distance of 1.5 cm, twist the second bead until they come together. We do these movements with all the beads.

The finished twig can be attached to a comb, to a bobby pin, or worn as a tiara. In all cases, you will look original. You can show your imagination and use beads in the form of leaves and flowers.
Headband with ribbons and beads - master class
A hairband is not only a decoration, it is also practical. This product will help remove unruly curls from your face and securely fix your hairstyle.
The hoop can be made from plastic, rubber or metal. For a wedding, an excellent solution would be to create a headband decorated with fresh or artificial flowers.
Making decorations using beads, pearls, satin ribbons, rhinestones, pearls and various bows is not particularly difficult, so even a beginner in needlework can cope with such work.
First you need to prepare all the necessary materials.
To create a wedding headband you will need:
- Directly a hoop made of plastic or other material. It is better to use wide specimens.
- Guipure ribbon about 5 mm wide.
- Adhesive substance. The best choice would be a clear solution.
- Lace ribbon approximately 12 mm wide.
- Small beads.
- Scissors and needle with threads.
After preparing all the necessary components, you can proceed to work.
The process of decorating a headband for a wedding ceremony consists of the following steps:
- Small pieces of lace are cut off and attached to the corners of the product using glue. The lace needs to look attractive and natural.
- Using a clamp, a strip of lace fabric is secured to one edge of the hoop and gradually wound around the product.
- Excess material is cut off; you will need to leave the ends about 10 mm long. They are folded onto the back of the product and attached with glue.
- Then, using a guipure ribbon, a voluminous braid is woven. 1 m of fabric is cut, a certain section is set aside, from which a flower will be created in the future. The remaining 3 m are processed in a certain order. First, tie a bow, then you will need to pull either end of the fabric to open the side. A loop created from the end of the ribbon is threaded into the loose loops, and then the second end of the fabric is tightened. Then you need to create a loop on the other side and thread it into the previous one. This procedure will help you create a braid based on the length of the hoop.
- After which you will need to weave a similar braid from the remaining material 1 m long. To create a flower from the formed braid, you need to sew it along the edge with a basting stitch and tighten the thread. Then the ends of the fabric are cut and a bead is glued in the middle of the flower.
- The ribbon braid is attached to the hoop on top of the lace fabric. After which you will need to wait for the glue to dry completely, this can take up to half an hour.
- Beads are put on a thread. It is recommended to use ready-made beads made from medium-sized artificial pearls. The thread with beads is attached to the product in the middle of the braid using glue.
- A hand-made flower is sewn or glued onto a selected area of fabric.
This headband would be a great solution for a wedding. It will not only fix the hairstyle, but will also complement the magical image of the bride. Such decorative decorations make a pleasant impression on guests.
Tips for use
If the source material is too hard and does not bend at all, it must be softened by heating it over a stove. At the same time, be sure to work with gloves, otherwise you can easily seriously injure your hands.
Wires with a diameter of 1 mm, 0.6 mm and 0.2 mm are most often used in jewelry.
It is best to use wire with a diameter of 1 mm in order to better fill the gap between the beads, if used.
In addition, the thicker the wire, the longer it will last. And if the wire is thin and the decoration has beads, then the accessory will not last long, because the wire, when moving freely inside the beads, will rub against their edges and eventually become too thin and simply break.
The lighting should be good; you should not work in the dark or twilight.
Combs as an addition to your hairstyle
A hair comb can be either a purely practical addition to a hairstyle, fixing the style, or serve as an independent decoration.

Headdress for the bride
The traditional headdress of the bridegroom is the veil. However, modern girls prefer hats, veils, scarves or wreaths. You can complement your wedding look with any type of decor.
Wedding hats
Hats are an excellent replacement for the traditional veil. They can be wide-brimmed, tablet-shaped, with or without a veil. It is important to choose this accessory correctly. It should match the dress, height and age, and emphasize the shape of the face. So, wide-brimmed hats with a veil are suitable for girls with round faces, and flat hats for narrow-faced girls. Curvy brides should avoid small hats; miniature ones should prefer hats with small brims.
Wedding veils
This detail is designed to slightly cover the face; the veil goes well with a fluffy or short dress, a wedding trouser suit, or a vintage wedding dress. Gives mystery, emphasizes aristocracy. The mesh is attached with a hairpin or comb. Best suited to smoothly collected curls.
Diadem
Wreaths are created using hoops and rims on which flowers are attached. Live ones are used, but artificial ones are preferable. Modern technologies for making flowers make it possible to create them life-like. For this purpose, various materials are used - satin, silk, openwork fabrics. Flower arrangements are decorated with rhinestones, pearls, and beads.
Veil
When using a veil, you should remember that it must match the dress in material and length. There are several options for such products: shell, classic and others. Each one has a different length, cut, and fastening. The veil goes well with a veil; you can decorate it with stones or secure it with a diadem or tiara.
Bridal scarf
This headdress is used by real coquettes. The scarf can be tied on the head in different ways. Some prefer to create the image of a pirate girl, while others prefer to create the image of a romantic prude. In fact, a scarf, like a veil, is tied and attached to the head independently or with the help of hairpins or invisible pins.
