In our master class on making Easter eggs from beads, especially for beginners, you will learn how to make beautiful and durable gifts that will delight your loved ones with their appearance for many years.
Master class on braiding eggs with beads for beginners
Before you start making an original Easter egg, you need to prepare all the necessary materials for work. Most of them can be bought at a specialized craft store.
Necessary materials:- 3 jars with multi-colored beads.
- A skein of fishing line.
- Wooden egg.
- Thin needle.
- Scissors.
1) The first step is to measure the number of beads for the width of the egg. To do this, we collect beads on the fishing line until there are enough beads around the egg at the widest point.
Be sure to remember the resulting number of beads!
2) Now we begin to weave a pillow for the egg. We connect 5 beads into a flower with a needle, and then weave the first row, adding one bead each between the same “flower” elements of the previous row.
3) Before weaving the next row, change the color of the beads. Then insert two beads in the space between the beads of the previous row. We do the third row in the same way, but again insert one bead at a time.
4) To weave the fourth row, insert one bead once, two beads the second time, then one again, and repeat in a circle.
5) Change the color again for the new row. Now we begin to weave several rows in the same way as we did in the previous step, until there are as many beads in the row as we got in the first step, measuring the width of the egg.
6) Now it’s time to reduce the number of beads in the row. To do this, we need to use the same approach that we used when increasing them. In other words, in rows where three beads were inserted at intervals, you need to decrease by three. It's better to just skip them while weaving the next row.
At the end of the weaving, we tie a knot of wire on top and that’s it, our beaded Easter egg is ready!
Learning the technique of mosaic weaving Easter eggs
The mosaic method is completely simple to implement and is perfect for beginning needlewomen. You don’t need to look for a pattern or calculate the number of beads per egg. It is enough to choose the desired color and size of beads, thin fishing line and needle.
Mosaic egg weaving is performed in the following sequence:
1) We start with a small flower with a core of one bead and petals of six.
2) We weave the second row of beads between the “petals” of the first row.
3) We do the third row in a manner similar to the previous step, but between the beads of the second row we weave not one, but two.
4) When weaving the fourth row, we place one bead on the needle and also distribute them between the elements of the previous row.
5) The next, fifth row, goes for expansion, so we weave three beads between the beads of the fourth row.
6) We weave the sixth row, inserting 2 beads in the spaces of the fifth row.
7) Now the “top” of the egg is ready and you can begin to further braid it.
8) The seventh row goes for expansion: we pass the needle through 2 beads of the previous row and, stringing one bead on a fishing line, pass the needle through every third bead of the 5th row.
9) In the eighth row we alternate weaving two and three beads into the previous row.
10) Chains 9 and 10 are typed in the same order, but for the ninth row of the pattern of the main part of the mosaic weaving, one bead is strung on a thread, and for the tenth - 2 at a time.
11) After finishing the 10th row, the braid must be gradually narrowed. The process is similar to expansion: as much as we increase the number of beads in a particular row, we decrease it.
12) Finish the mosaic weaving of the Easter egg by creating a flower with one bead in the center. The thread is secured by inserting it into several beads of the upper chains.
In addition to the usual braiding of eggs with beads, you can also use more complex circuits with other patterns. For example, this photo shows a pattern of weaving with a diamond-shaped mesh of beads.
The technique of double-sided weaving is also interesting. An Easter egg made according to this pattern looks quite simple, but at the same time original.

Easter is the main Christian holiday of spring. Recipes for Easter baking, Easter cakes, Easter basket decorations, and Easter eggs have long been passed down from generation to generation.
And if earlier eggs were colored in broth onion peel, oak leaves, today there are many more options for decorating eggs. One of them is decoration with beads.
Using various techniques beadwork, which I will demonstrate in this master class, you can create an exclusive Easter decor.
I would like to show you several options for decorating Easter eggs with beads, from the simplest to the most complex.
First you need to do preparatory work. You can take a raw egg for braiding, having rid it of its contents, or you can take a boiled one, but it is best to take a wooden blank (such an egg, your beaded masterpiece, will last a long time and will delight you and those around you).
Options for decorating Easter eggs with beads:
- Pasting.
This is the easiest way to decorate eggs, without requiring special effort. Necessary:
- egg blank;
- epoxy adhesive;
- pencil;
- multi-colored beads and beads.
First, we draw a sketch of the future ornament on the blank. Then we apply glue to the parts that need to be filled and begin gluing the beads in accordance with the pattern.
Here are examples of folk motifs laid out with beads:
Eggs can be decorated not only with beads, but also with sequins. They can be used to decorate a pysanka in the shape of a goldfish like this:
A couple more ways to decorate an Easter egg with sequins.
This is the simplest one
And another option is more magnificent.
We need:
- a blank egg made of polystyrene foam or foam rubber;
- sequins in the shape of flowers;
- colored pins;
- glue moment.
We pierce the sequin with a pin - this will be our flower.
We begin to insert such blanks into the egg. To strengthen the tip of the pin, you can coat it with glue.
We pass over the entire surface of the egg, leaving no voids.
Ready
Now let's start making the stand. A pin mold will be useful for this. Glue green sequins along its edge.
This is how it should work out.
Glue our egg to the base - and our Easter miracle is ready!

Weaving an Easter egg with a beaded mesh
The technology of braiding an egg with a beaded mesh is that the egg itself has a streamlined shape, so the braiding is carried out in several stages. The egg itself is conventionally divided into 3 parts: a central belt (2) and two poles (1, 3). First the belt is braided, and then the poles.
Visual demonstration. Let's prepare:
- wooden blank;
- beads;
- nylon thread, needle.
We braid the belt with a mesh, according to this diagram:
Beginning of mesh weaving
turn
We tighten the thread and weave according to the diagram
We measure the mesh to the required length so that it completely encircles the width of the egg.
Place the mesh on the workpiece and connect its edges.
On the eve of the bright holiday of Easter, I want to create an atmosphere and beauty in the house. Following tradition, we paint eggs and buy or make souvenirs for our loved ones. Just a beautiful decorative Easter egg made of beads, made by yourself, can become such a souvenir and decoration for the holiday. In this article we will look in detail at how to make Easter eggs from beads, weaving patterns for beginners and tips on choosing material and execution techniques.
The most important thing in beading is the beads themselves. Sometimes they give advice to beginners to choose simpler and cheaper beads. But it’s better not to do this. Buy several shades of good quality beads and weave with pleasure. You will understand in your work that no other material can compare with high-quality Japanese or Czech beads. It is smooth, with smooth edges, and the same size.
IN finished product even if made by the hands of a novice craftswoman, it will look decent and will add neatness and dignity to your product. So, the best beads are Japanese. We will include Toho beads among them. But Czech also looks good, only if it is not a fake. You should think about the pattern and color scheme for your product in advance and buy the colors that will be useful to you. It is important to know that the beads differ in numbers. The larger the number, the smaller size beads. No. 10 is suitable for braiding eggs.
In addition, you will also need fishing line. This can be a special thin monofilament for weaving or regular sewing thread to match the main color of the beads. You will also need a needle. There are special needles for beading. They are flexible and thin.
Now we come to the next one, very important point- basis for Easter eggs. You can take any artificial egg made of plastic, foam, or wood. It is better to pre-glue a foam egg with a simple one. toilet paper and paint it so that it is smooth and does not crumble. But if the foam is well compressed, then this need not be done.
Some craftswomen braid natural eggs. To do this, you need to pierce the shell at the top and bottom and pump out the contents. Dry the shell, cover it with toilet paper and PVA glue, dry it and start weaving. Each craftswoman chooses an acceptable and more convenient base for weaving.
Simple weaving patterns
Beaded holiday eggs always look festive, bright and interesting. They certainly attract attention. The pattern on them can be completely different. This includes a geometric pattern, which is obtained by combining beads of different colors and even sizes in a certain sequence, and floral motifs.

When everything is ready, let's begin the process:
- First we string several beads for the base, the lower part of the egg. We do this according to the diagram in the photo.
- First, we collect 7 beads in a circle.
- Then we expand the diameter, attach beads in a circle, alternate colors according to the diagram and our idea.
- The important point is the closure of the series. It is important to return the needle and thread to the bead with which the row began, so that it is completed and secured.
- When we have a small heel for the bottom of the testicle, we need to carefully glue it to the base.
- Let's wait a little for the glue to dry and the surfaces to set.
- Now we continue weaving along the egg. We expand the surface.
- We weave in rows, alternating the color of the beads.
- From the 17th row you can already see the formed flower.
- We continue weaving the pattern, carefully alternating the color of the beads.
- Now you need to mark on the workpiece the place where the letters will be located for convenience.
- When we have reached the intended letters, we begin to weave beads according to a pattern of a different color to represent these letters.
- The letter diagram is given below for convenience.
- Forming letters.
- Now the final stage, we braid the crown.
- Here comes the tapering cloth.
- We weave beads different shades according to the drawing.
- We complete our weaving with one bead, as at the beginning of the process, placing it in the center.
- Pass the finishing circle of 6 beads several times to secure and secure the thread, hide the tip.
This is not the easiest weaving option, but it is very interesting and quite accessible for beginners.
