New Year is a holiday that absolutely everyone, from children to their parents, is waiting for. Preparing for the holiday is the most exciting and interesting pastime. It is much more pleasant to make decorations for the holiday with your own hands than to buy ready-made ones in a store. For example, you can decorate a festive table with small beaded Christmas trees that will sparkle and sparkle with colorful lights.

Instructions
Step 1
First, choose what kind of Christmas tree you will make. For example, it can be a herringbone embroidered with beads on some material. But much more interesting is a Christmas tree made entirely of beads. First, decide on the size of the future product. You shouldn't make it too big, because the larger the tree, the more difficult it will be to make it.
Step 2
Now you need to make the trunk of the future tree. There are several options here. You can not take anything for the trunk, but fasten the branches together. You can use a plastic or paper tube as a trunk, into which you insert each branch. But it will be much more interesting if the barrel looks like a real one. How do you achieve this effect? Everything is very simple. Go to the nearest forest or park and find a small branch, but not very thin. The branch does not need to be peeled to give the illusion of tree bark. If you find a branch of a coniferous tree, then your Christmas tree will also smell like a real one. Decide where the branch will have the top and where the bottom will be. Cut the bottom evenly, and gently sharpen the top.
Step 3
Now it's time to start making branches. Keep in mind that when moving from top to bottom, the branches should be longer and longer. Take the wire. It should not be very thick, but not very thin either. String several beads in the middle, as shown in the figure. And do three scions. On the uppermost branches, one branch can be made. Going down, increase the number of branches. At the very bottom, it will be maximum. For the branches, use green beads if you want to make a Christmas tree as similar as possible to the real one. You can also use other colors as you like. Twist the ends of the wire.
Step 4
Create a base for your Christmas tree. To do this, you can take a cone and decorate it. Insert a branch into this cone, which will act as a trunk, with a wide end. Fasten carefully. Now take a drill with a thin drill bit. The drill should be slightly thinner than the twisted wire of the finished branches. Your task is to make holes and insert branches into them. The holes must be made not very deep so as not to accidentally drill through the trunk, but also such that the branches hold well and do not fall out.
Step 5
It remains only to decorate your Christmas tree a little and it will be ready. Put a star on the sharp top. You can also decorate the tree with rain or garlands. You can use light bulbs for decoration, but only diodes are suitable for this purpose, because they do not heat up.
