For those who decided to create with their own handsA charming souvenir item for decorating an apartment; you can offer such an option as a wicker tree made of beads. It can create a cozy atmosphere and bring a piece of Japanese tradition into your home. Beaded trees can be different, and each of them has its own purpose and history. For example, a tree called Sakura represents feminine beauty and joy of life. Money trees, which have already become so popular among us, are created to attract wealth or, at least, prosperity into the home. You can make such a tree yourself and give it to a loved one as a gift. There is another traditional tree that is present in every Japanese home. We are talking about a Yin Yang tree, expressing the unity between the female and male opposites. Very similar to it, but made in a different color scheme, there is also a tree of love, which, according to the Japanese, helps to find happiness in your personal life. And finally, it is very often used in Japanese-style interiors – Bonsai tree. All these attributes of Japanese culture have gradually entered our lives, and now we have the opportunity to independently make similar souvenirs for our homes or add them to the homes of your relatives and friends as souvenirs.Let's try to make a money tree out of beads.To make it, you will need materials such as: thin and thick wire, a flower pot, alabaster, any coins, threads, glue, multi-colored stones and, of course, the gold-colored beads themselves. First, we form the branches of the tree using the loop method. We take a wire that is thinner. We string the required amount of beads onto one end of the future branch, fold it into a loop and twist it from below with a few turns so that there is a little distance left to the edge. Now we string the rest of the beads onto the other end of the wire, filling them 2/3 of the length. We fix the end of the strung wire so that the beads do not come off from it during the work. Now we are starting to create loops similar to the first one, in the quantity that we need. There should be some free space left between the resulting loops (about 1 cm). Now you need to connect the ends of the resulting wire with loops together. Now we find a loop that is located in the middle, and starting from it we twist the ends of the wire into a bundle, evenly wrapping them around each other.In our case, you will need to make 50 branches with13 loops on each. If our tree is planned to be made using coins, then we make the loops on the branch using beads and coins alternately. When all the branches are ready, we connect several of them together and secure them with threads to a thick wire, which will serve as the trunk of the money tree. We fix the next portion of branches a little lower, departing from the previous ones by 0.5 cm. We install the fully formed trunk in a plastic flower pot, filling it with the prepared alabaster solution. When the solution dries, cover the alabaster with glue and fill it with colored pebbles. In principle, the design of a tree pot can be changed taking into account the availability of other materials available.Possible options for finished beaded treesYou can view photos of work already completed by other craftsmen and borrow some details for decoration. Then each new product you make will be different from the previous ones, which will be useful if you decide to create money trees as gift souvenirs.
