How to make maple from beads?

Beading is a fascinating but painstaking process, requiring great perseverance. But the result is worth it. Iridescent figures, flowers, trees and various decorations will not leave anyone indifferent. In addition, this is a great hobby. And you can please your loved ones by giving them one of their creations. In today's article, we'll show you how to make a maple from beads. So, let's get started.

For maple from beads we will need:

• Beads are red, yellow, green, orange, as in our case maple from beads is autumn;
• Wire thickness 0.3-0.4 centimeters;
• Tangle of dense brown thread;
• scissors;
• Thick wire for the trunk and branches;
• Gypsum mixture;
• A flower pot;
• Black tea.

Stage One

• Let's start creating an autumn maple from beads with an orange leaf. We take wire 30 cm long and orange beads. On the wire we collect 3 beads. After 2 last we pass the wire back and tighten it.
• Next, we collect 3 more beads and do the same. Then 4 beads, then 5 and 6. We do everything in the same sequence.
• Now we start to reduce the number of beads in each row. That is, we type 5 beads, tighten, 4, 3, 2 and 1.
• We twist the wire in a couple of turns. It turned out such a diamond. This will be the middle part.

Stage Two

We pass to the lateral parts of the tree. Making a maple of beads with a step-by-step photo is not at all difficult. To do this, take two pieces of wire length of 25 centimeters.

• We start again with one bead. Then 2, 3, 4, 5.
• The next step is that we type 4 beads on one end of the wire, the other free end we pass into our first diamond between 5 and 4 rows of beads from below.
• But now we put this end into strung beads and tighten it. And we conduct the wire already in the next row between 4 and 3.
• We type 3 beads on the wire and tighten it with the other end.
• We go down one more row and pass the wire between 3 and 2 next.
• We type 2 beads. We pass the wire between 2 and 1 side by side.
• String the last bead and tighten it. Twist on a couple of revolutions.
• By analogy with the other side, we make exactly the same part of the leaf.
• We proceed to the smallest part of our leaflet. She has the maximum number of beads - 4. That is, we do everything the same as before, but after a series of 4 beads we begin to reduce their number.
• After we went to the reduction and collected 3 beads, the free edge of the wire is passed to the extreme part of our leaflet between 4 and 3 next. We tighten it by passing the wire through our 3 beads.
• We pass the wire between 3 and 2 side by side. And so on to the last bead.
• From the other side of the leaf do it all the same.
• We got a leaf consisting of 5 parts.
• The ends of the wires are divided into two parts and we twist them together.

By the same technology we make leaves from beads of other colors.

Stage Three

Colors can be arranged and make the leaves yellow-orange or yellow-green. In general, such as you like. After we have made the necessary number of leaves, we pick up the thread and start wrapping the ends of the wire with it. A little before reaching the edge of the wire, we tie a string into a knot and cut off the excess.

We start to collect a tree.

• In order to make the "bare" branches from which the leaves have already fallen, we take pieces of wire (preferably dense, such as aluminum or steel) by wrapping them with thread about one third. With the help of these branches we will collect the leaves and tie them to the trunk.
• Now we connect the leaves with 2-3 pieces each with their "legs" and wrap the thread. Just reel and naked twigs.
• Then gradually we connect them all together with the help of wire and thread, forming large branches, each of which has 10-15 small branches with leaves and without.
• From two pieces of thick wire form the barrel, fastening them together with a rope.
• We attach a thread of a branch to the trunk.

Stage Four

The tree is collected. It remains to "plant".

• We mix the gypsum mixture and fill it with a small flower pot, leaving room for the "ground".
• We plant our maple from the beads there. We leave it until the gypsum solidifies.
• We check if the plaster has dried up. If yes, then you can proceed to the bookmark in the pot of "earth". To do this, take the usual tea, preferably granulated, fill it in a pot, over the plaster. To our tea leaves are not scattered, you need to fix them with a clear varnish.

That's all! Our wonderful maple of beads, photo of which can be seen a little higher, done with care and love, is ready!
