Beaded tree - an original souvenir
There are several different techniques for weaving trees. Selected for future crafts The scheme is classified as complex. But this does not mean at all that the task is difficult to accomplish. Even a beginner in this business can easily create his first unique craft.
To get started you will need:
Undoubtedly, you will have to stock up on patience and free time and you can start working.
1. First, you need to cut a piece of wire 70 cm long and string three beads, twist a loop exactly in the middle.
2. Next, bend one end of the wire to the side and collect 5 beads.
3. Twist the loop, leaving a “leg” a few millimeters long and stretch the same end of the wire in the opposite direction.
4. Cast on 5 beads again and twist the loop with the “leg”. Take the second end of the wire, pick up 5 beads, twist the third loop.
5. Similarly, a fourth loop is twisted from the second end of the wire (all of them are located at the same level). Twist the two edges together, forming a kind of transition to the next level of loops.
6. The loops of the second row consist of 7 beads, and the third - of 9. Weave the remaining edges of the wire tightly, from which a tree trunk will be formed. You will need 27 such branches.
7. Let's move on to weaving leaves. Bend a piece of wire 70 cm long in half, pick up 7 beads, and twist a loop.
8. The weaving of the leaf is formed in two directions, each with its own end of the wire. After the first single loop, two opposite beads are cast on, 7 beads each, twist, two 11 each, twist, again two 11 each, twist, two 7 each, twist, two 5 each. 45 pieces of these should be woven.
9. Now you need to distribute the leaves among the branches. For one small bunch you will need three branches connected to leaves as follows: two branches have two leaves, and one has one.
10. Three small bunches are combined into one big one.
11. Three large bundles are twisted together. There should be 3 such parts (photo 11).
12. Twist the three pieces into a single whole.
13. Prepare a foil pan.
14. Fill the mold with gypsum dissolved in water, thread the “trunk” of the tree through the holes of the plaster, lower it into the mold, form the base of the crown from the mixture, wait a few hours until it hardens completely, cover with acrylic and sprinkle with glitter.
To get started you will need:
- 20 grams of red beads (it will be more beautiful if you combine 10 grams of beads of different shades, but not contrasting with each other);
- 40 grams of green beads (in this case one tone is presented);
- a coil of wire 0.3 millimeters thick;
- scissors;
- ruler;
- building gypsum (or any other binder mixture);
- a piece of foil;
- CD;
- acrylic paint;
- brush;
- glitter to decorate the finished product.
