CONTEST: HANDICRAFTS . Time to show ingenuity (100% POWERED UP

INTRODUCTION
Hello great women of our time. It's so pleasurable to participate in this contest. The past weeks I haven't been making entries but I am this time and onwards. I want to appreciate the iniators of this community and contests to constantly keep us women together. You're a great.

At this point I will be making my entry to the contest and it on a home accessory made out of beads. I have been involved in making beaded items for about 5 years now and each day I learn a new thing on it. Seeing this contest I made a beautiful flower jar last night for my entry. Just follow the steps below keenly

HOW TO MAKE A FLOWER JAR
In making a jar you must first think of the type of jar and design you will use. Also you should think of the purpose it will serve. This will help you to know the mathematics you will use. Beads making involves using a series of 4 and 6 (most used formula) at time you can use 5 or 7 and in this case we will use all to bring out the shape we want. Using the normal formula will give a normal jar but a mixture of all will give us a shape of a calabash. Let's see how to make it

Materials
• Size 24 green and white oval beads
• Scissors
• Size 90 or 100 twine
•A plate to pour the beads inside and work

scissors

Size 90 twine

Green beads

White beads

Procedure
• Cut your twine to the length you want using a scissors

my cut twine

• Put 6 beads (the color depends on you but I will begin with green) and cross with the last bead making it in an oval shape. This makes line 1.

• For the next line (line 2) we are going to be making a series of 5 beads per circle.
• Using one twine head we put 4 beads crossing on the 4th one. Assuming the one you crossed makes the last bead for the other line and the first bead for the next line or series of beads( remember to keep this in mind all through).
So you will continue with the next one, by first passing the twine in one bead and adding three to the other side of the twine since we have the lastly crossed bead.

You continue till the line ends. To end you will have the lastly crossed bead, the one you pass the twine inside and the first bead of the line( this particular bead is important because if you miss passing the twine here to end you will have a different shape which will not be good.

• Line 3 you still so a series of 5 beads just like the previous line

• Line 4, use a series of 6 beads, but this time you pass in two beads instead of 1. From the beginning you will pass one twine head into a bead and add 4 beads to make 6 beads in that circle. Continue by adding 3 beads. So you will have 3 beads then you add 3 to make six to the end and you end just like before. This line makes its fold upwards, looking like a cut calabash or a bowl.

• Line 5 you will use both 5 and 6 beads while still passing the twine in two beads after crossing the last bead. This line now I Sue my white beads to change it's look making it more beautiful.

Assuming you have 12 beads to pass in which using 2 gives a circle of 6. So now we have 6 circles what you do is circle 1 you make it 6, circle 2 you make it 5 beads, then you continue to the end of the line. This is to make it fold inwards not outwards again.

• Line 6 you use 7 series passing in 3 beads. This further makes it fold inwards
• Line 7 use series of 5 beads while passing the twine in 1 bead

• Line 8 and 9 use 4 series while passing the twine head in 1 bead

• Line 10 use a series of 5.

final product

You can make the jar as big as you want and the length you want. But don't forget the calculation at each line. Remember you begin the base with an even number not an odd number.
