Easter - This is a beloved holiday that people of all ages look forward to, not only to eat delicious cakes and cottage cheese with raisins, but also to give each other traditional souvenirs. Coloring chicken eggs with its origins goes back to ancient times. Now eggs not only paint in different colors, but also decorate them with bright stickers. But what could be more original than an ordinary chicken egg? That's right - a do-it-yourself egg!
The weaving technique is not entirely complicated, but in order to make the product beautiful and error-free the first time, step by step follow each step in the photo. To braid an egg with beads and make this unusual souvenir, you need a little time, patience and plain materials that can be purchased at any needlework store.
Materials:
- The beads are white;
- Multi-colored beads (red, blue, cyan, green, golden);
- Fishing line (approximately 3 meters);
-Needle;
-Color ribbon;
-Wooden egg harvesting.
Step 1. Egg pattern - a flower that will be located in the center. To make it, you will need to string 7 beads on a fishing line. I made the middle of the beads larger, so that it stood out against the background of others and was convex.

Step 2. Complete the center of the white bead.

Step 3. Make a thread of several flowers in this way, which should match the length of the diameter of the wooden egg. In stores, wooden blanks are not quite cheap, so it would be better if you carve it yourself - and the egg size can be made larger.

Step 4. Connect the first and last flower with fishing line.

Step 5. Now put a little ring of flowers on a wooden egg. The ring should fit the egg tightly and not slip out.

Step 6. Twist one end of the wire so that it does not interfere with you and start working with the second. One bead is strung on a fishing line and threaded into the one that is in front.

Step 7. So, you have weaved the first row, continue in the same spirit.

Step 8. Starting from the second or third row, the number of beads in the row should decrease, since the shape of the egg also decreases.

Step 9. As soon as you weave three or four rows of white beads, make the background brighter - add two rows of colored beads.

Step 10. Alternate white beads with color. Closer to the top you can add a different color. I made the top blue and blue.

Step 11. Continue to reduce the number of beads in a row, and make the top of one bead.

Step 12. A miniature Easter egg can be used as a keychain or other decoration, so you need to make a loop. Put a few beads on the fishing line and fasten.

Step 13. So that the egg does not bloom, the remaining fishing line can be cut, hidden in the product or cauterized with a burning match. So you can be sure that the craft will remain in integrity and security.

Step 14. The first part of the egg is done, proceed to the second. Do it by analogy with the first.

Step 15. Make a couple of rows of white beads, and then add color. It will be more beautiful if the colored colors are not repeated. I made one row golden and the other red.

Step 16. Reduce the number of beads near the end of the egg.

Step 17. Now you have finished the egg completely! Cut off the excess wire and tighten it properly. Do not forget to fix a beautiful ribbon on the egg.

These original souvenirs can be made for Easter. Production time will take from two to three hours, depending on the size of the egg and the degree of your training in beadwork. Spend a day making such souvenirs for all your relatives - this will be the best gift that will be stored for many years!
