Mimosa made of beads will not yield in its beautyrelative that exists in nature. Each of them has its own charm. And if man-made mimosa does not have natural freshness and smell, then it wins in longevity. Such beauty will never fade, and will delight our eyes forever. And then, it is not always possible to buy fresh flowers, but any of us can make them with our own hands, using beads and weaving techniques from it. Magnificent and charming, mimosa can compete in beauty with any flowers, will lift our spirits and awaken us to life from hibernation.
The lesson of creating a tree with flowers of mimosa from beads
Let us devote a lesson to the study of how, with the help of the schemeWeaving, photo and video materials, make a twig, or even a mimosa tree. We will try to understand the beadwork and its technique, with reference to the manufacture of the inimitable mimosa tree. For an excellent mastery of the material, you need to master a master class that will help us in this. For work we need:
We take a thin wire and string itGreen beads. We retreat from the free edge of the wire 10 cm and make the first loop of 10 beads. Well twist the wire, three times, no less. We continue in the same order to perform loops of 10 beads. We make the second and third loops, and place them in a checkerboard pattern to each other. In total for one twig it is necessary to make 10 such loops. It turns out a small twig, which consists of 10 leaves. But this is only one branch, and for a mimosa tree 50 such twigs are required. This number will be sufficient.
The next stage of our work is tomaking mimosa flowers. To do this, we string yellow beads on a wire and make yellow branches in the same order as the green ones made earlier. You will also need 50 yellow branches. When all the yellow branches are ready, you need to perform the following operation, folding two yellow branches together vertically and twisting them together. As a result, we will get 25 double branches of yellow color.

Let's start creating a large branch.Take the wire and attach two green branches to the very top with brown threads, securing them there. A little lower, attach and secure another green one, also using brown threads. After that, attach and secure the yellow one, and again the green one. Now attach two more yellow and one green branch. This completes the work on the large mimosa branch.
Now you need to make a branch without yellow flowers,consisting only of green. We connect four small green branches together using threads. When we have secured them securely, we attach them to our large branch and also fasten them with threads. We get the first complex branch with a double edge, or base. In total, we get six such compound complex branches.
Our master class is coming to an end.All that remains is to assemble a tree from six large complex branches. We need to take the thick wire that we prepared in advance and secure one of the large branches at its base with the wire. We secure the next branches with threads, in a checkerboard pattern and from top to bottom. Now our mimosa is ready, and all that remains is to plant it in a pot or in special soil. Such soil can be made by mixing gypsum with water. At the end of the work, you need to properly straighten and fluff up the mimosa branches so that the tree is lush.

Mimosa made of beads is distinguished not only by its enviablemagnificence, uniqueness and beauty, but also a relatively easy technique of execution. In fairness, it should be noted that there are several techniques for weaving such a tree. The patterns and methods of work are different. Beading is interesting precisely because the same object can be made using different techniques.
Master class on weaving mimosa
Today we will focus on another method of making mimosa. To do this, we need to study the following, fascinating and interesting master class. To do this, you need to have:
The technology we use for productionmimosa branches, is called "stringing with twisting". We begin the master class by working on a yellow flower. We will need a wire 30 cm long. We string 5 yellow beads on it. We fold the wire in half and twist it 2 times. We have two ends, on one of which we string 5 beads, and twist the ends again. We repeat the same operation with the other end of the wire, finishing it with a twist.
We got three yellow round balls.We continue the weaving process in the same order until our wire runs out. There should be 3 to 4 cm of free ends left. We have a beautiful yellow flower, like a bouquet, very much reminiscent of a real mimosa flower. We need to make four such flowers.
The next step is to make morefour of the same flowers, but take a longer wire, about 40 cm. Repeat the weaving until the end of the wire. As before, leave a free end 4 cm long. These flowers will be a little longer than the previous ones.
We will weave the next four branches onwire 50 cm long. They will be even longer than the previous two. Now we will start collecting branches of different lengths and connecting them together. We screw a branch of medium length to the longest branch, and then the shortest one. We make a reinforced twist of all three branches. We got one large branch. You can continue and make another large prefabricated branch. Then it is advisable to form smaller branches, connecting and twisting two together instead of three.
Mimosa made of beads should be as small as possibleis close to a real plant. Therefore, it will consist not only of yellow flowers, but also of green leaves. The technique for making them is very simple. To do this, we string 15 cm of green beads on a 50 cm long wire. We twist our wire so that one end is longer. We make a twist under the beads. The leaf is formed by twisting. We need to turn the loop around its axis several times. We get a very beautiful and unusual spiral leaf. We have already noted that one end is left longer. We string the next portion of beads 10-12 cm long on it and twist the second leaf. We make the third leaf on the second free wire, stringing 8-10 cm of beads.
We got a triple twisted leaf.We need at least 7-8 of these leaves. It is advisable to make a few more leaves with four separate loops. This will make our mimosa branch even more voluminous and fluffy. Having completed the work on making yellow flowers and green branches, we begin assembling the branch. The beaded mimosa should be assembled in the same sequence as mimosa in nature.
We take our prepared stick from artificialflowers and green floss. Such a stick perfectly imitates the stem of a plant, especially if you decorate it with floss. We begin to attach all our flowers and leaves one by one, creating a wonderful sprig of mimosa. As the branch is collected, we wind green floss along the entire length, strengthening the structure and masking its defects.
You can make as many of these as you like.branches, perfectly imitating live mimosa. We hope that the mimosa made of beads will please you, your friends and relatives if you decide to give it as a gift. Our master class is finished, but you can supplement the knowledge gained by viewing photos and videos.
