In the world there is an amazing array of beautiful, completely different trees, each of them unique and beautiful in its own way. Admiring this incredible variety, we will try to copy created by nature in his work. Here is a master class on weaving from beads of acacia tree.
Materials for work
For work we need:
- beads number 9 yellow - 50 g;
- yellow seed beads number 15 - 10 g;
- Bugles green - 50 g;
- round beads in the tone of glass beads № 10 - 10 g;
- wire;
- silk threads of brown color;
- floristic ribbon of brown color;
- Painting tape;
- ceramic pot;
- alabaster;
- universal transparent glue;
- stones.
How to make a beaded tree?
1. We begin work with weaving twigs with flowers.
Cut the wire length of 1 m 30 cm. At a distance of 10 cm from the edge, we select five beads of yellow color number 15, twist by seven turns (about 0.7 cm).
2. We make two more of these eyelets from the beads around the edges.
3. Cut the wire length of 20 cm, bend it in half and add for thickness in a bunch. The long end of the wire is wrapped in a spiral 2-3 turns as shown in the photo.
4. Twist another two loops of five beads and place them in a different plane than the two previous ones.
5. Next, make four more loops of seven beads and four for ten. Between the rows (one row - four loops) we perform twisting on 2-3 spirals.
6. The next series will be typed with beads number 9. In the first row we make loops of three beads.
7. Next, we will recruit rows of five and seven beads.
8. Let's look at the work from another angle:
9. In the next series we will combine the beads. First, make a loop of seven small beads.
10. This loop is surrounded by a loop of a large bead.
11. Here's how it looks, if you look from the other side to the finished series:
12. Make a series of nine small beads in the loop. Grapes can be increased by repeating the last two rows.
Foliage for a beaded tree
Now we make the leaves:
1. At the center of the wire length of 60 cm, we collect five beads of bugles.
2. We twist into a loop, we make twisting by 0,5-0,7 cm.
3. Make two more of these eyelets. To do this, we put on each of the ends of the wire a glass bead, five beads.
4. Similarly we twist the wire.
5. There will be three in the next four loops of the central beads.
6. We make four more loops, in which there will be one bead in the center. It turned out a twig - a blank in five rows with his own hands of beads and bugles.
7. In total, 20 pieces must be made for such blanks, another 20 pieces, consisting of four rows, and 20 - of three.
How to collect a beaded tree?
Now, when all the components of small parts for the beaded tree are ready, we proceed to assembly:
1. Take the silk thread, hook a twig of wire, beads and bugles.
2. We will wind the trunk of the workpiece with threads down by 0.5-0.7 cm.
3. We will sew the next preform of foliage with silk threads.
4. For foliage, you need to thread a bunch of acacia flowers with silk threads.
5. A branch of a blossoming tree from beads is ready.
6. Next, you need to collect all the bunches and branches in the same way. From the remaining blanks make branches with 2-4 pieces of foliage in each (the assembly is done arbitrarily).
7. When all the small parts are assembled into small twigs, we proceed to assemble them into larger ones, which will become the supporting branches of the bead tree. From 3-4 small prepared beams we will collect a big branch, wrapping it with floral tape.
8. Now all the main branches of the tree are ready.
9. The branches look too thin. To make our tree more realistic, we need to add thickness to the branches. For this we will use painting tape.
10. We connect existing branches, we wrap them with paint tape.
11. We again wrap the entire trunk of the beaded tree with a floral tape.
12. Now a flowering tree of beads is ready, but it can not stand without our support. It is necessary to make a stand for our beautiful product.
Stand for a beaded tree
When our tree is ready, it is necessary to make a stand for it, that is, to plant it in a pot. To do this, we select a suitable container, which will become a pot, try on a tree, bend the wire base if necessary.
Now we plant alabaster, pour it into the pot (hole, if it is, pre-glued!). Put the tree in it. We are waiting for the alabaster to dry, thereby propping the tree so that it does not fall.
From above decorate the frozen "ground" with pebbles, pasting them on transparent glue.
That's all!
