Bonsai is the traditional oriental art of growing bonsai. Its founder is considered to be the Chinese poet and artist Wang Wei, who grew orchids in a porcelain vessel and placed white stones around the stems. The Japanese bonsai is characterized by refinement, naturalness and subtle harmony. In Russia, dwarf trees of a certain variety are called bonsai themselves.
It is necessary
- Beads N10 in several shades of green, yellow, red or other color (optional) - about 200 g;
- Wire 0.3 mm - about 1 m;
- Floral ribbon (brown, green or other color, in harmony with beads)
- Masking tape;
- Smooth glass, stones, beads;
- Alabaster;
- Flower pot.
Instructions
Step 1
Cut the wire into 200 pieces of about 45-50 cm. Mix different shades of beads. Cast on 8-10 beads in the middle of each segment. Make two loops to form a beaded loop.
Step 2
At one end of the wire, cast on the same number of beads and make another loop, then, according to the same principle, two more loops. Repeat on the other end of the wire for seven loops. Decorate all pieces of wire this way.
Step 3
Connect five sections into one bun and weave together from the middle to the bottom to make a twig. Repeat with the rest of the 195 segments to make 40 branches. Wrap with floral tape.
Step 4
In turn, connect the branches of five bundles in five and weave from the middle to the bottom into thicker branches. You can place thin branches at different heights relative to each other to create a beautiful relief, then wrap with floral tape.
Step 5
Combine the resulting 8 large bonsai branches into one trunk, weaving from the middle to the bottom. Arrange the branches at different heights, evenly, in a "ladder", "spiral" or in any other shape you like.
Step 6
Wrap masking tape around the trunk so that it thickens downwards like the trunk of a real tree. Then wrap the tree again with floral tape, giving them their final shape.
Step 7
Knead the alabaster in a water solution, pour the mixture into a pot. Place a bonsai in the middle and let dry a little. After that, place stones, glass and other decorative elements and wait until it is completely dry. The bonsai is ready.
