Cherry blossom made of beads - beautifulan interpretation of a real tree, which you can easily make yourself, spending some time on it. The work is quite labor-intensive and requires attention, but does not cause any difficulties at all. Even if you have never encountered such an activity - you will definitely succeed. The material of our article will be a good help for your creativity. Beads are a very beautiful material that is used in many types of needlework. One of them is beading. Such products, made with your own hands, attract with their beauty, sophistication and originality. The main thing is that absolutely everyone who has such a desire can create their own masterpiece. It does not require experience and supernatural knowledge. A little patience and perseverance and an exclusive decorative item or decoration will please its creator and everyone around. A very interesting option is a tree woven from beads. It can be small or large, can have any color scheme, but always remains invariably beautiful. Today we will make a small-sized beaded cherry blossom that will decorate your home or make a great gift for loved ones. First, we need to select materials. For work we will need:
- beads of pink (in this case it is two shades) and green colors;
- capacity for beads (a small dish or a box for a better convenience);
- wire (should be thin enough, its diameter must match the diameter of the hole in the beads);
- scissors;
- finishing material (decorative material);
- soil (clay can be clay, silicone);
- paint (you can take any, in particular watercolor) for staining the trunk.
First, we need to mix the beads in a container. We will take two shades of pink, a total of forty-five grams of beads, and green, fifteen grams.
Now we prepare the wire.We will cut it into segments, each of which is equal to seventy centimeters. Then we will step back fifteen centimeters from one of its edges, make a small loop. We will string beads on the long end of the wire segment.
This is how we will make leaves.For one leaf we need 4 - 5 beads. The distance between the leaves will be five - seven millimeters. Having reached the loop, we remove the remaining beads. We pour it into a bowl.
Then we fold our branch in half and twist it as shown in the photo.
We straighten each leaf.
For a small sakura tree, put five similarly made branches into one bundle. For a larger, more lush tree, there should be eight branches in one bundle.
We need to make nine identical bunches. In our case, the bunches have six branches. As a result, we got nine large branches, consisting of fifty-four small branches.
Now we twist together two large branches (we need three such branches) and make one from three large branches – this will be the top of the sakura.
For the tree we will need a pot. It can be anything, even a box. Something like the one we see in the photo.
To keep the tree from unraveling, we can wrap it with floss, wire, white ribbon used by florists, and so on.
All that remains is to plant the tree in a pot, in the ground.We will use plasticine or silicone as a primer. In such a primer it will be well fixed, which will allow us to create a strong single structure.
Our next step will be to decorate the soil – decor. For this, we can take beads or use small colored stones, beads. Everything depends on your desire.
It remains to give the trunk a color, if it does not already match the desired one. For this we will need paints. Now it remains to straighten all the branches and leaves on the sakura and the product is ready.
