The white birch was considered by many peoples to be the axis of the world.It was also given a special symbolic meaning - spring and purity. It is easy to believe in this even now, just admire the thin white-trunked birches, which seem to become transparent when held up to the light. This wonderful lesson suggests creating a beautiful miniature birch tree from beads.You will need:

Beads of several shades of green (mix);
A wire with a diameter of 0.3 mm, 1 mm, 3 mm;
Yarn;
Alabaster;
PVA glue;
Acrylic paints.

String 7 beads onto the thinnest wireand twist the loop several times. It will become central. Create one loop on each side of the wire and also make 3 - 4 turns. Make 5 loops on both sides of the central loop. Bend the wire, the central loop ends up on top, twist both ends of the wire together. You have a branch. You need to weave 15 branches with nine loops for the top of the birch and 57 branches with eleven loops for all the other branches. After all the branches are woven, you need to twist them together 3 by 3. You should get 5 branches for the top of the birch tree and 19 branches for the rest of the trunk.Attach the pieces of thread to these 19 branches.wire 1 mm in diameter. Our birch will have 2 tops. For one, take 3 branches and tie them with threads to a piece of wire 3 mm in diameter, for the other top, do the same with 2 branches.The main trunk is formed.The main trunk will require a top of three branches and 12 regular branches, the side trunk - a top of 2 branches and 7 regular branches. Combine the trunk of the birch from two. Make the base thicker with construction tape and twist the end from a bunch of thick wires into a ring.To create the base of the birch tree, you need to takeany container you like. It needs to be covered with a layer of polyethylene (a regular bag will do), place a birch tree in the container, give it stability and fill it with a mixture of alabaster, glue and water (alabaster and glue in a ratio of 2:1). Leave it to dry completely for 10 - 12 hours.Final decoration.In order not to stain the beaded branches when painting, it is better to wrap them in foil. Mix glue and alabaster, make a thicker consistency for the trunk, and a more liquid one for the branches. You can coat it with a regular soft brush. Set aside again until completely dry. The trunk must be painted with white paint in 2 layers. Paint the stand with a mixture (glue + paint).After the white paint has dried, apply strokes of black paint to the branches with a soft brush and to the trunk with a hard brush.After the entire coating has completely dried, remove the foil, straighten and give the branches a natural look. The beaded birch tree is ready.
