Master-class on apple beadwork

A beautiful tree with a lush crown, ripeIn bulk apples or with blossoming flowers looks just amazing. Making such a tree is fairly easy with simple video lessons or the step-by-step work described below. For beginners, the proposed beadwork will not be difficult. The main thing is to follow the step-by-step instructions.
The main stage of weaving

  • It is necessary to cut several pieces of wire immediately. Each such segment is equal to twenty-five centimeters;

  • We put five beads on one selected segment. We twist the beads into a loop measuring five to seven centimeters from the end of the wire, Figure 1;
  • At a distance of one centimeter from the resultingLoop one more. It is necessary to do three or four similar bends. When the leaf loops are ready, at the same distance make a bend with one bead. The last loops, there will be an odd number of them, are fixed at a distance from the end of the wire by five to seven centimeters;
  • The next step is the wire, on the central loop made, the tails are bent and connected with each other;
  • The branch of a blossoming apple tree is ready. For a lush tree it is necessary to weave about a hundred such branches;
  • If all twigs are individually woven, then they must be twisted with each other for ten or twelve pieces. Thus, a blossoming apple-tree from beads will be lush and bulky.

    • In this way, beadwork of trees, you needUse a stiffer small rod, which will become the basis for all twigs twisted. If there is no such a ready-made metal rod, then you can make it from a simple pencil or any wooden stick.
    Bunches of twigs are wound onto a base or rod. To make the trunk look neater, it is wrapped with special corrugated paper or floristry tape.

    Weaving according to this pattern will allow you to create a blossoming apple tree if you use, in addition to green beads, various shades of pink and inclusions of white beads to create apple blossom.
    To create a tree with fruits, this weaving pattern is also suitable:

    • Two or three beads are gathered on the wire and bead-apple, retreating from the edge for five to six centimeters. The remaining long tail comes back through the bead;
    • The wire is tightened, and continuing to form turns around the axis, we get the first inflorescence with the apple;
    • At the long end, another ten or eleven beads are collected. Clamped in a loop closer to the bead - an apple;
    • All the time beadwork takes place on the long part of the wire. This process of creating an inflorescence with an apple is repeated. Weaving alternates with leaves;
    • Separately make twigs with leaves, separately with apples. Then they are all twisted into small bundles, and their correspondingly to the main rod.







    This weaving pattern provides thatthe tree will be "planted" in a special pot at the end of the work. This can be a specially created pot with decorative stones or the tree stem will be poured into plaster, another decorative material for various crafts.



    An apple tree made of beads will look great inany decorative pot, as in the photo, which is easy to create with your imagination and a simple master class. For beginners, mastering this beading technique will not be particularly difficult. The main thing is to show desire and a little creative thinking.
