It is necessary

Instructions
Step 1
Choose a pot, small bucket, basket of tightly woven rods, or a vase. Place the beaded tree there. In order for the structure to maintain its vertical position, it must be fixed. This can be done using plaster, diluted according to the instructions, silicone or plasticine. Place stones, beads or decorative elements that imitate grass, tree fruits, etc. on top of the filler. Wrap the resulting pallet in newspapers or cellophane.
Step 2
Prepare paint (at least 200 ml) and two paint brushes - thin and wide. Since wood is made of wire, it is important that the product adheres well to the metal. Choose a paint of any shade, at this stage the color is not important.
Step 3
Spread the balls formed from beads, imitating leaves and fruits, to the sides or gather them together 3-4 pieces. Paint on the trunk and branches with a fine paintbrush. Your goal is to paint the rods as well as possible.
Step 4
Move the brush from large branches to thin ones. During this time, the paint dries up on previously painted places. You can apply an additional coat of paint if necessary. Remove cellophane and newspapers from the base of the structure. Remove excess paint around the edges with cotton wool soaked in acetone or alcohol.
Step 5
Cut off pieces of paint from the base with a knife and leave to dry for a day. Then paint the tree with the final color. Depending on the intended composition, use white, gold, blue, red, etc. If in the process of work you have run out of a certain color scheme in a large jar, and you still need to touch up small details, use gouache. Fix the result with a colorless varnish. Leave to dry for another 12 hours in the open air.
