Fabulously beautiful wisteria of beads

For work it is necessary to prepare a green cabin,transparent beads of white, as well as blue, beaded and aluminum wire, brown threads of mulina (suitable and silk). In addition, the decoration will require stones, beads, moss, white and brown acrylic paints, putty, gypsum, PVA, aerosol varnish for cars and a brush, it must be rigid. When all the necessary tools and materials areprepared, proceed to create the product. Weave twigs In this work we use stitchers. Take the wire, step back from the tip 10-15 cm and start making the eyelets at a distance of 1 cm from each other. Each loop should have 12 beads, you need to weave 9 identical loops. Leave the last loop about 10-15 cm and cut the wire. Now the ready stock must be collected in a twig. In accordance with the illustration, select the center loop and twist the wire, as in the illustration. Then the remaining loops are twisted in pairs. By combining the last pair, twist the wire another 3-4 cm down and cut the remaining tips. You can choose another number of loops, this will determine the length of the workpieces. The main thing is to weave an odd number of loops. Braiding Wrist Brushes In order to make wisteria brushes, you will need two shades of beads - white and blue (lilac). When choosing materials, consider one important point - beads should be monotonous: matte, rainbow or transparent. As in the previous step, take the wire,retreat about 10-15 cm. Start creating loops at a distance of about 1 cm from each other. You need to weave 9 loops of 15 beads, the next 3 loops - out of 10 beads, then retreat 2 cm and make a loop of 7 beads. Next, you need to weave the same pattern, but in the reverse order. As a result, it remained to retreat from the last loop of 10-15 cm and cut off excess. Collect the workpiece by placing a loop of 7 beads around the center, twisting all the loops in pairs, after twisting the pair of loops twist the wire and cut off excess for a distance of about 4 cm. Assembly of twigs To create twigs, use a frame. For him the wire of average thickness, diameter should be not less than 1-1,5 mm, you need about 25 cm. All the workpieces are fixed on the frame with threads of similar color. All other branches are spirally aligned. To make one branch, you need 3-5 workpieces. Example you can see below in the illustration. Of all the twigs that you have, you needcollect the branches of the wisteria itself. Take an aluminum wire with a diameter of 2 mm and a length of about 35 cm. To make a branch, use one brush of green and the other in blue. Make at least 16 pairs. The photo shows how the branches for wisteria will look. The crown must be formed in accordance with the wisteria in the realities: branches with leaves are led upward, and the brushes with flowers fall to the ground. When working, the wire twists in a spiral -so you can create a characteristic relief of the tree trunk. Making the trunk and fixing the tree The first step is to make a stand. Prepare a plastic mold, cover it with a film and fill it with a mixture of PVA, water and gypsum (it must be brought to the consistency of sour cream). Fill the base to a height of 2-3 cm. You can place the tree at your discretion in the center or at the edge of the podstavochki. Hold the frame for about 15 minutes to allow the solution to take, then leave it for final drying. The podstavochku can be pulled out after 2-3 hours. To decorate the trunk, prepare a similarmixture and cover it. At the bottom of the trunk you need to make a thickening - so it will look more natural. After the solution has dried, paint the trunk and branches with acrylic paint of brown color and allow the paint to dry. To create a relief effect on the trunk, take the black paint and start applying vertical lines on it, use a hard brush. Lower part with thickening paint more saturated. Decoration of wisteria On desire you can find the instruction on manufacturing of a swing from a wire. Glue to the basis of the decor in the form of flowers and other plants from beads. Beautifully look tracks from pebbles, sand and seashells. These elements are fixed with PVA (the layer must be thick enough). If as a decor you have chosen large pebbles, then it is better to fix them with a solution of gypsum and glue. Original will look and grass from beads. In the end, cover all the work with aerosol varnish and wisteria of extraordinary beauty is ready.

However, there are a lot of efforts to create them. But still, with maximum effort and having studied the master class presented below, even a novice craftsman can make such wisteria. To work you will need beads of different colors, wire of different diameters, glue, foil, bottom of a plastic bottle, alabaster and brown paints. The scheme for creating branches for wisteria is simple, but requires utmost attention. Take a thin wire (0.3 mm) and string on it 6 beads of purple and twist them in a loop. Next, on either side, make two loops along the7 beads (the color is the same). After that create two more loops, but already consisting of 9 beads of different colors. Then increase the number of beads in the eyelets to 12. In the total, make as many loops as illustrated in the photo below. There you can see an example of a combination of different colors. The second side needs to be formalized in the same way. Combine the brush, twisting the wire so that the loops are arranged in pairs. When the work is done, bend all the loops to the top. For wisteria to turn out lush and beautiful, you need to make at least 30-32 similar brushes. Now start creating green twigs. To do this, prepare a wire with a diameter of 0.4 mm and twist 11 loops consisting of 10 beads. Twist the loops in pairs, to get a full twig. You need to make them the same amount as the brushes (30-32 pieces). Connect the brushes to the leaves and proceed to theassembly of wisteria. For these purposes, you will need a wire with a diameter of at least 1 mm. Connect it with a couple of twigs and wrap the mauve with brown threads. Then retreat about 1 cm and reattach another twig. In this way, wind four branches in turn. Make four identical branches, and to the fifth add two more separate details. Now you can start assembling the wisteria itself. The top will consist of two large branches, connected by a wire with a diameter of 3 mm (at the end they will need to be wrapped in brown threads). After that a little lower, fasten one more branch, it will also need to be wrapped with a thread. The remaining twigs should be threaded to the bottom. In the same way, attach all branches to the trunk, wrapping the base with threads. After that, start making the base. Prepare a mixture of alabaster and PVA glue in a 1: 1 ratio, pour it on the bottom of a plastic bottle, insert it inside the tree and wait until it dries completely. At this time, wisteria should be maintained or invented any props so that the tree does not warp. To avoid possible contamination of the branches, wrap them with foil, then the trunk and twigs must be treated with the same mixture. Leave the product to dry and then cover it with a brown paint in several layers. The stand can be decorated with beads, an example can be seen below. As you could see for yourself, creating such a wisteria is a laborious process, but the result is worth the effort. The most delicate wisteria will become a bright decoration of your house, and you will not think of a better gift.
