Wood from beads: by own hands (photo)

Products made with beads and glass beads, attract the eye, fascinate with unusual performance and beauty. Of these glass balls and tubes all kinds of bracelets and baubles are woven, which give the girl a distinction, individuality, emphasize the style.

A bit of history

Ornaments from beads appeared in ancient times. Then they were assigned a somewhat different function - they were talismans from evil spirits, protected from spoilage and evil eye.

The movement of the hippies, which appeared in the 60s of the last century, returned the beads from oblivion, the fanatic boom began. "Children of the Sun" preferred to hang their clothes with all sorts of ornaments made with beads. Even during the wedding, the newlyweds exchanged not by rings, but by baubles.

Trees from beads - the basics

Now beadwork is still relevant. And, in addition to baubles, many find themselves weaving beaded trees. Before you start beadwork, you will need some necessary items: fishing line, needle, hooks, needles and beads. It is best to weave a tree of beads on a non-slip surface. The table for this is covered with a napkin or tablecloth.

Beadwork is made according to schemes. It is advisable to start with the easiest and then gradually get to the complex ones. It's difficult, but how beautiful the bead trees look then! Bead to bead, glass beads, even sequins - with proper imagination, all this is perfectly combined with each other. It is important only to make sure that the material is enough. Beads are suitable for weaving any ornament, but beginners still recommend to stop their choice on the weaving of a flower.

Plait flower

You will need the following material: scissors, wire and beads. The bead is threaded through the wire and fixed. In subsequent rows, the number of beads increases by one. After there are five beads in one row, they will need to be reduced. Such weaving provides symmetry of the flower.

The core should be made from a large bead. The weaving of the flower is completed by joining all the petals with a middle bead.

If desired, the flower elements can be varied: increase the number of beads or change the core.

Begin to weave a tree

A tree made of beads will require the same items and beads of green color. A loop is made on the wire, located 15 centimeters from its end, then beads are strung on it. A tree made from beads and wire should have several leaves that are woven from 4 beads. Then 5 more wires are twisted.

When 6 wires are ready, 3 of them are twisted into one. The same is done with the remaining wires. Then the trunk of the tree should be painted in brown paint, and the branches - straightened.

The base is ready, and the leaves on the tree can be made any.

Heart of beads

An original gift to a loved one can be a heart-shaped tree made of beads. It fuses fast enough. In order to make this tree of beads with your own hands, you will need:

• Two colors of beads. It is important that the shades are compatible.
• Two kinds of wire: thin and thicker.
• Thread of a moulin. The color should be selected in accordance with the shades of beads.
• A podstavochka, which will house a tree. You can use a glass or a small pot, anything that comes at hand.
• Sequins with which you can zadekorirovat stand.

We proceed to create a tree. First you need to take a thin wire and twist on it 7 loops of beads. The hinges are located at the same distance from each other, and each must contain 5 beads.

Then each such wire is twisted into a twig. So they need to do a lot. Approximately 25 branches per each tree.

Next you need to twist big twigs from small twigs. It is necessary to take 5 branches and connect them to one common. There are already 5 large branches for the tree.

Each such branch is wrapped in a thread of a floss of the corresponding color. It is important that the thread lay flat and looked whole.

Now you need to form the tree itself. We take the wire thicker and attach the branches to it so that the tree turns out. The trunk is also wrapped in a floss string. When it is ready, it should be bent, giving the desired shape. Similarly we do the second tree.

The lower parts of both trees are twisted and fixed in a prepared podstavochke. If at hand was a foam plastic cylinder, then the trunks are fixed in the center. If the podstavochkoy was a glass or a pot, then the trunks should be fixed with gypsum. When it dries, the structure will be stable.

Decorative paillettes decorate the stand. The tree-heart is ready.

Bonsai

Consider how to create another tree of beads. A master class on "bonsai" will tell about it. To work, you need a round matte beads of green color, two wire options: thin and thick, for branches and trunk. You will also need scissors, a small flower pot, bandage, adhesive plaster and gypsum.

Before we proceed directly to the manufacture of wood, we need to prepare some details. To begin with it is required to cut pieces of a thin wire in length of 40 centimeters in quantity of 90 pieces.

For each such wire, beads are sewn on 8-10 beads, and then a loop is twisted. A total of 7-9 similar loops should be made on the segment. When the desired number of loops is ready, the knob is twisted. As a result, you should get 90 shishechek.

All knobs are twisted into small bundles of 2-3 pieces. Each resulting twig should be wrapped with adhesive plaster.

We form the vertex. A few others need to be attached to the beam, forming a magnificent top of them. Then they start assembling the branches of the tree. Everything is fastened with an adhesive plaster.

After the formation of the crown, we make the trunk. Here you need a thick wire. The vertex is attached from one end, and on the other it is necessary to make a loop-support. Adhesive plasters attach the remaining branches. To make the barrel thicker, you need to wrap it with a bandage.

Now it's time to plant our tree. Gypsum must be dissolved in half with water. A tree of beads drops into a pot and is poured with a prepared gypsum. You need to make sure the stability of the tree.

The gypsum is frozen, the tree stands tight, it's time to finish the trunk. Gypsum covers branches and the trunk itself. To simulate the roughness of the bark, you can use an old toothbrush.

When the trunk is ready, the pot is again poured with gypsum and decorated with pebbles. A couple of days after drying, the trunk is covered with acrylic paints, and then with two layers of varnish. If there is a desire, you can decorate the pot.

A tree made of beads will be an excellent gift for the closest people. They can decorate the house, giving the interior a zest and coziness.
