Rowan beads that each of us canlearning to make it yourself can become both a decoration and a talisman for the home. Since ancient times, the rowan tree has been considered by people as an excellent remedy that fights evil forces and protects homes and people from them. Many people had a winter rowan tree in their house, which was hung above the front door, by the bed, or displayed in a vase on the table. This tradition is still alive today. Even if it is not possible to get a sprig of rowan, then a photo of it is hung on the wall.
Rowan is also a symbol of intelligence and wisdom,protection from witchcraft and magic. Some ancient peoples elevated the rowan to the rank of the tree of life. With the development of handicrafts, they learned how to make rowan wood from various auxiliary materials, embroider and weave beads. You can learn how to weave rowan berries from beads with your own hands using a master class, photo and video materials available on our website. Beaded rowan will decorate any home or office, give it a special charm and beauty, and also protect it from a variety of troubles and evil.

Master-class weaving winter rowan beads

As Rowan woven from beads, can be sorted out,studying a master class, and try to repeat it with their own hands. Very well, when available in weave diagram, photo and video materials. Winter rowan beads made of the following materials:

Beads №11 (the colors red and green);

Wire 0,2mm;

Thick wire, aluminum or copper (2mm diameter), 15-20 cm;

Brown thread winding stem branches.

Winter mountain ash consists of twigs with green leaves and red berries. Driving weaving rowan is as follows:
Let's make rowan leaves from green beads.They are complex, each consisting of 9 separate leaves. Each of the small leaves is made using the parallel weaving technique. Pattern for weaving individual small leaves:

first row - one bead;
second row - two beads;
third row - two beads;
fourth row - two beads;
fifth row - one bead.

wire length for a single leafIt corresponds to 25cm. For a more clear understanding of this technique, it is desirable to have available a photo, or a master class. As we have already noted, for each compound leaf trees such as rowan winter, it takes nine simple leaves. When they are ready, you need to collect your own hands one large composite sheet. Three separate sheet are joined at the base by twisting the wire. After that, you need to give the correct form of a leaf. The central sheet is directed vertically upwards and the other two at a right angle thereto.

Now let’s attach the next leaf toa few millimeters lower than the previous ones, also screwing the wire to the petiole. We give the leaf a direction parallel to the previous row. We screw the fifth leaf next to the fourth, following the weaving pattern, directing it in the opposite direction, at a right angle to the petiole. To make work easier, you can bend the wire at a right angle to the leaf. After this, we apply the leaf to the petiole, and pass the previous leaf exactly in the middle of the fold of the wire of the fifth leaf. Now we screw the wire of the fifth leaf to the petiole. Screw the next four leaves in exactly the same way. As a result, we have one large complex leaf, consisting of 9 separate leaves. The more such large leaves we make with our own hands, the more beautiful and magnificent our tree, winter rowan, will turn out.

Grapes rowan next stage of our work willIt lies in the manufacture of bunches of rowan, or berries. To do this, we will need a red beads. We begin with the gathering of small clusters. For each of them take a long wire 60 cm:

Nanizhite one red bead, and will push it to 10-12 cm from one end of the wire. Then twist the two halves of the wire at a distance of 1.5 cm from the beads;

Stringing a second bead and place it at a distance of 2 cm from the first twist;

Twist the two ends of the wire. Start twisting beads and below until the end of the first stranding;

This operation needs to be done up to 10 times, picking up one bead;

Twisting together two ends of the wire, forming a whole bunch;

One big bunch should consist of three small, one of which we have already learned to do;

We connect the wires from the three small bunches, getting one big bunch.

You need to make about 7 large bunches of rowan,so that the tree looks good. The next operation is to wrap all sections of the wire with brown thread along the entire length. Then we connect the branches with leaves to the bunch, also by twisting. After this, another large rowan leaf is screwed below their connection. In the end, we get 7 large branches, where there is one bunch of berries, and two complex large leaves. Our master class is coming to an end. All we have to do is complete and put together the work, and the winter rowan is ready. As the main trunk, you can use any rigid wire with a diameter of 2 mm, or, in extreme cases, a wooden stick.

Collecting rowan from beads
The final stage of bead makingtree, which is called winter rowan, is to connect together all its individual parts. This connection is made using the weaving method that is already familiar to us.
We braid one complex branch to the end of a thick onewire, this will be the top of the tree. This is done using a piece of loose wire, followed by wrapping brown thread around the joint. We also attach all the other branches, wrapping the entire trunk with brown threads. The branches should be placed in a circle, at a short distance from each other. At the very end of the work, you need to secure the threads and arrange the ends of the wire. So, our winter rowan is ready. All that remains is to install it in a pot and straighten all its branches and bunches of berries.

Weave autumn rowan

So, we have learned the skill of executionBead tree rowan winter. But I would like to complete the picture, touch on another subject, to tell you about another beautiful tree, which is autumn rowan, Aronia. Such a tree, made of beads, a distinctive splendor and uniqueness. In addition, the implementation technique also distinctive. If you look at a photo chokeberry, then immediately see the difference from the winter mountain ash. And now we'll hold a small master class on making a mountain ash autumn chokeberry. For work, we need:

Beads mixed different colors (150 gr.zheltogo 100 gr.oranzhevogo, 50g and 50g red green);

Black beads for berries, 80 grams. For a small cluster requires 18 beads and wire one meter and one large bunch will consist of three small;

Scissors;

Copper wire 3mm (but you can use the color);

Flor tape;

To create a branch wire of different diameters.

So, let's get to work.We take a wire 1 meter long and sharpen one end with scissors. Now we begin to collect beads from the box where we pre-mixed them onto the wire. We make the set by making a translational movement of the wire, forward and backward. This is how the beads are placed on the wire. For the first leaf you need to collect 40 beads. When you have collected enough, leave 15 cm of wire free, and then twist the two ends under the beads, forming a loop. It will become the first leaf.
We continue to collect beads onto the wire inin the amount of 30 pieces that are needed for the next leaf. Then we repeat the process of scrolling and making a loop (second leaf). We scroll by a few millimeters (about 5). The third leaf is done in the same way and is located next to the second. The number of beads is also 30. When the weaving of the first three leaves is completed, we have the top of a complex rowan leaf, and we need to weave the wire down one centimeter using the twisting method.
As you continue weaving leaf loops, rememberthat the next ones will be larger. And accordingly, each of them will need more beads. The next two parallel leaves should contain about 40 beads each. You don’t have to count the beads, just make sure that the size of the leaf is a little larger. We weave the next two leaves in the same way, slightly increasing their size relative to the previous two. We do not recommend counting the exact amount of beads in the loops, as this will not be noticeable in the overall composition. You can shape the leaves by eye, approximately. We all know that in nature the sizes of leaves on trees are not the same. In one complex and large leaf there can be from 7 to 9 composite small leaf loops.

From the previously specified quantity of mixed beadswe will get about a hundred of these complex large leaves-twigs. After completing this stage of work, we need to make our branches larger by connecting them in threes together. We do this with the help of wires, because we still have free ends on each large complex sheet. With their help we make our connection. When connecting the leaves into twigs, we should end up with about 30 of these complex branches. The work on the rowan leaves and branches is finished, let's move on to weaving the bunches.
To do this you also need to take a wire lengthone meter, for one small bunch. We string 16-17 black beads onto one such wire. We fix each bead separately and weave the wire down 1.5 cm. We do this operation with all our beads. When all the beads are woven, you need to connect and twist the ends of our meter wire. So we got one small bunch. In order for our bunches to be more beautiful and voluminous, let’s connect three small bunches together. We weave the loose ends again, connecting them together. Having completed the formation of bunches and rowan leaves, we begin to connect them. We weave one bunch and one complex leaf.
Now we need to start forminglarge branches. We take our prepared thick wire and wrap our leaves to it one by one, using floral tape for this. We screw the leaves to the wire one by one, gradually going lower. The total number of large complex branches should be about ten pieces, if we used all the prepared beads, wire and beads. From these ten branches you can make a magnificent bouquet by placing them in a vase, or you can form them into a rowan tree by connecting all the branches with one thick wire, which will act as a trunk.
