Wisteria consists of many deciduous vines that amaze the imagination with their fabulous, unearthly beauty.
Perhaps this is why beaded wisteria is especially popular among almost all lovers of needlework.
Magic wisteria of beads with their own hands
Before we start our master class, let's look at this beautiful photo and admire a living tree growing in its natural habitat:
Now imagine that after youcomplete our master class, you will have a small copy of such a delightful and incredibly attractive tree at home. You can create with your own hands such a small miracle tree that will delight you and your loved ones with its tenderness and fabulous beauty.
So, in order to make wisteria we will need the following materials:
- Alabaster or gypsum - 1kg;
- brush;
- Stand for indoor flower;
- Brown paint;
- Light blue gel candle or transparent sealant;
- Pebbles and beads to decorate the pond;
- Medium wire;
- 4 coils of fine wire;
- 1 thick wire for the trunk and 7 pieces (each 25 cm) for the branches;
- 25 grams of dark green beads;
- And as many light green beads;
- 30 grams of purple, light pink and transparent white beads.
We will begin our master class with the creation of a bunch. At once I would like to note that we need about 60 such bunches.
Let's get straight to work.
Cut about 90 cm of wire from the coil. Then we put 5 purple beads on it and make a loop in the center, which you will need to scroll 3 times (photo No. 1).
Next we will continue to work with only one endwire. First, we will need to put 6 more beads on it and scroll the resulting loop. Then we make two more loops in the same way, consisting of 8 and 9 purple beads (photo No. 2).
Now we will have to create 1 with our own handsa loop consisting of 3 purple, 4 pink and 3 more purple beads. On the next loop you will need to string first 1 purple bead, then 10 pink beads and again 1 purple bead. The seventh loop will consist of 14 pink beads (photo No. 3).
The penultimate loop on this side will beconsist of five pink, five white and five more pink beads. And the last loop will be the largest; for it we will need 16 white beads (photo No. 4).

photo 4 The weaving pattern remains the same and weWe use it to weave the second end of our wire. It will look like in photo No. 5. In total, we got 17 loops. Each of which consists of a different number of beads.
Then we will need to twist our branch, starting from the very first loop located in the middle (photo No. 6).
You will end up with a beautiful brush that will eventually turn into a delightful bunch of wisteria (photo #7).
We remind you that if you want toyour tree turned out to be lush and dense, you will need to make 60 of these brushes. And then on each brush, turn its loops towards the top, while slightly bending the tips.
Look at photo No. 8 and you will see what beautiful branches we got.

photo 8Flutter the leaves of wisteria After you have yourHands make all the brushes you will have to start making leaves. For each leaf you will need about 25 cm of wire, as well as beads of dark and light green color.
Scheme of parallel weaving with beadsSchemeThe weaving of the leaves differs from the pattern that we used to create the loops. However, it is also quite simple to perform and our master class will help you master it.
To begin, place 1 light green bead on the middle of the wire. This will become the basis of your first row.
Then you will need to insert the ends of the wire in different directions through the 2 light green beads of the second row. We do the third row in exactly the same way.
The weaving pattern we use is called parallel. Look how it looks in the schematic drawing.
Please note that in the figure the thirda row consists of 3 beads, while ours consists of two. This is due to the fact that our leaf has a diamond shape and with each new row the number of beads increases by one. Until it reaches 8 pieces. In the end, it turns out that the core of the leaf is made of dark green beads, and its edges are made of light green beads.
Then we will also reduce the number of beads and narrow our leaf.
Forming the trunk Now we will begin to assemble ourtree. We will need thick wire as the basis for the barrel. We will wind twigs and leaves onto it. Please note that we screw the branches in whole bunches, each of which has approximately 10-14 branches. And we will have to screw the leaves so that they “look” up, while the vines themselves will hang along the trunk almost to the “ground”.
Next we will need to form the trunk andadditionally strengthen all branches using medium-thick wire. Since our beaded wisteria turned out to be quite large and heavy, we will need to make the bottom of its trunk thick enough.
At this stage, our master class will tell youhow to create a wisteria stand. In order to make a pot out of wood, we will use a regular stand for an indoor flower. We will need to put a mixture of plaster, glue and water into it. And then “plant” our tree there and further strengthen it by coating the bottom of the trunk with plaster. Don’t forget to also make a small depression in advance, which will later turn into a beautiful pond.
Before you put your tree aside untilOnce the plaster has completely dried, you will need to “plant” a small flower next to it. In our case, this is a lily made according to the French weaving pattern. It’s better to make it in advance, so that later you have time to decorate the stand with it before the plaster begins to dry. Of course, it is not at all necessary to decorate the clearing near the wisteria with a lily. You can easily make some other exotic flower, such as an orchid or passionflower. The main thing is that your flowers go well with the wisteria itself and give your composition the necessary completeness.
After the plaster in the stand has completely dried, you will need to carefully apply it to the branches. In order not to accidentally stain the beads, you can first wrap the branches with foil.
After applying plaster to the trunk and branches, you will need to wait until it is completely dry before you can begin painting.
In this master class on weaving wisteria you canconsider completed. All we have to do is decorate the clearing near our tree. Let's make a pond first. The photo shows that we pre-selected a suitable place for it and made a small depression there.
Now we will have to pour the gel candle melted in a water bath into this “hole”. This must be done very quickly, as the candle freezes almost instantly.
You can decorate the clearing itself with green and light green beads, small pebbles, shells or decorative bushes. It all depends on your imagination and personal preferences.
Bright solar wisteria
Let's start another master class thatWill help us create a delightful and incredibly bright wisteria. The tree you make with your own hands will sparkle in warm sunlight. It will warm you with its warmth and help you mentally move to a warm, bright day.
So, before you start beading, you must prepare everything you need for work:
- Scissors and nippers;
- Stand made of wood;
- Moss green;
- Dark brown thread;
- Floristic ribbon of brown color;
- Thick 2 mm wire;
- Thin wire;
- Beads number 10: transparent green, yellow, transparent orange and light orange.
Schematic drawing of weaving wisteria branches. To begin with, we will need to make about 50 bead tassels. Their weaving pattern is quite simple.
We start beading with yellow loopscolors (about 5 pieces), then make about 8 light orange loops and 14 bright orange beads. At the beginning of the brush, the loops consist of 5 beads, but gradually their number increases.
This simple weaving pattern allows us to independently choose the length of the brush and regulate its splendor. However, do not forget that wisteria branches should not lie on the “ground”.
Next we will need to make about 40green twigs. They weave according to the same principle, but in the end these green branches should not be so thick. In addition, they should have different lengths. One branch consists of approximately 5-9 leaves.
Next we will need to assemble our tree. The top of the wisteria will consist exclusively of green twigs, and the bottom of orange and yellow tassels.
You will first need to twist small bundles of twigs using thin wire, and then bundles of brushes. They will need to be tightly screwed to a trunk made of thick wire.
Of course, it will be quite difficult for you to create a beautiful “composition” right away. However, over time you will definitely learn how to do this.
Next, you will need to wrap the entire barrel with wire with your own hands. Do this very carefully so that it turns out even and smooth.
Then you will need to wrap all the branches with threads, and the trunk itself with sticky floral tape. Try not to have any unsightly gaps.
Now you can install wisteria inspecial wooden stand. You will need to pre-drill 1 large and 2 small holes in it. You will insert the barrel itself into the large hole, and pull the ends of the wire into the small ones and secure them well.
To hide the protruding ends of the wireyou can glue moss around them. You can also install small wooden figurines next to the tree or attach a beautiful wire bench. You can also create it yourself.
Beaded wisteria is ready! Look how beautifully her brushes shimmer and how the leaves sparkle in the sun.
Options for future masterpieces
Of course, in the natural habitat, there are mainly wisteria, the color of which varies from light pink to dark purple. But creating such wonderful
, we can get a little creative and make them unusual and fantastic. In order to “catch” inspiration and see some new ideas, let’s look at the photos of finished works:
Wisteria in the twilight twilight This photo clearly shows that the branches and brushes of this evening wisteria are made according to one scheme. They are intermixed and seem to be one.
This work has a very interesting basis.To decorate the base, a mixture of crushed moss, sand and grass was used. In order to achieve such an amazing effect, you must first smear the base with glue, then sprinkle with a pre-prepared mixture and finally sprinkle with regular hairspray.
The pond is made of gel candles and glitter. A charming beaded boat and several lilies float in it.
Soft pink beaded wisteria
The width of this tree is 65 cm, and itsheight – 75cm. Please note that the technique of weaving brushes and leaves in this work is different. However, perhaps this is precisely why this wonderful wisteria stands out against the background of other similar trees.
"Keeper of the Key"
Great work with a unique stand inin the form of a small waterfall. The tree has a rather massive thick trunk and the same branches, but, nevertheless, the whole composition as a whole still seems fragile, delicate, simply magical.
We invite you to watch a short video that presents wisteria of different shapes, colors and techniques.
