When creating a beaded tree, three materials are used: the beads themselves act as leaves, the wire replaces the branches, and the floral ribbon replaces the bark. The tree turns out to be quite realistic both in the shape of the crown, and in the strength of the trunk, and in color.
It is necessary
- - Green beads;
- - Wire for beading;
- - Floristic tape;
- - PVA glue;
- - Pot for the finished tree;
- - Colored stones, glass beads.
Instructions
Step 1
At the very beginning of the work, cut the wire into several dozen pieces of about 50 cm in length, and dial the beads in the middle of each piece. Then twist the ends of the wire to secure the beads you have selected. You now have small twigs.
Step 2
Connect the branches in pairs, crossing them at the height of the upper third. From this point and below, twist them together. Connect the branches tightly.
In the same way, combine the branches into groups of four to six small branches (that is, two to three medium branches), but start twisting at a lower height.
Step 3
Select two branches. One of them will be the vertical axis of the tree, and start winding the other over the first, attaching the lower tip just above the base. Wrap the wire around the base and fluff it up. Then reel in the rest of the branches to form the trunk of the tree.
Follow the principle of a real plant: the branches are at different heights, have different lengths. The trunk can be straight or curved, depending on the type of wood chosen. Tie the branches tightly.
Step 4
After screwing all the branches, wrap the base with floral tape. Start at the base of the tree, from the “root”. Put some glue on the tape and press it firmly against the barrel.
Look at the real trees again: the lower part is thicker. Therefore, it is necessary to wrap this part of the artificial tree several times to create a natural look. As you get closer to the crown, wrap the trunk with a thinner layer of tape to maintain proportions.
Step 5
Wrap each branch in turn. Make sure that the relief of the wire is not visible through the tape (for this, wrap the branches several times). Cover the end of the tape with glue and press firmly against the wood.
