In order to make such a decoration, the master will need a certain set of materials, in particular - beads and a special pattern by which he can connect them. The materials and step-by-step instructions will be presented below:
- It will take a small line measuring 0.25 millimeters

- Take the beads with which we will work. In our case they are pink.
- Also need scissors
- Tool for work - beading needle
Let's get startedUsing these tools we will be able to doown preparation of unique and interesting material. So, we will need quilling material, from which we will prepare two diamonds. They can be decorated in a brick form, or using a mosaic design. With the wide part of the diamond, we will make a line in a row of 13 beads. In the narrow part of the diamond, only two beads should be used to decorate the future bow.Decorating beads for future work -important task. You should initially decide what color scheme you will have to work with. Regardless of the choice, you can also change the tonal qualities of your beads. Thus, it is possible to form a "gradient transition", which will make the toy a brighter and more interesting craft for your New Year tree. Design of modules Thus, we need to form two identical layouts of future rhombuses, but with smaller sizes for the blank. In the wide part of the small rhombus, we take the threshold size for the line of 7 beads, and in the narrow part we also leave two beads. After, we form an element of the ribbon, using the base for the middle line of the Christmas tree toy. In this case, you need to take a strip that we must weave using parallel weaving. The blank will have a size of 13 beads. For the bottom of the strip, you need to form a row in which there will be one more beads than in another row. For the top part of the base row, we also add 2 rows of beads, using the concept idea from the photo.The weaving of all the details is the basis of the work.Earlier we only prepared the necessary "modules" - elements with which we will create a complete picture of a bow. In the next step we will have to connect each of these elements specifically so that the bow becomes a real New Year's toy!Assembling the bow The final stage of assembly isthe most responsible and exciting. To begin with, you need to connect the large diamonds using the base blank. We fix them between each other. After, you need to fasten two diamonds. To do this, we count 3 beads, as in the photo, and then fix small parts for the fourth bead, which is on the inside of the future toy, using the base. You also need to do the same for the second diamond that we have. After, you need to fix the middle. After, we take the tape and wind it on the narrowest element of our bow.At the end, we sew the two ends together.with each other, as in the photographs of the work. After, you need to take the ribbon and also thread it through the bow, so the Christmas tree toy will be formed and ready to go for New Year's decoration of the apartment!
