Let's try to make a lilac of beads for beginners. Prepare everything you need to work: beads of lilac, pink and green flowers; Bugles in the tone of the main flowers; Wire, tape, thread; Scissors and nippers.

We measure a piece of wire 50 cm long (it is better if it is the same color with beads). We put 5 pink beads on it and make a loop, leaving the end at 10 cm. The petal turned out. In the same way on this wire we make three more petals, we connect both ends with a glass bead, and the lilac flower turns out. There are eight more such flowers.

The next step is to fasten this workpiece with a thick wire and wrap it with a tape. It turns out inflorescence, which must be made thirty pieces.

Now we collect a branch of lilac from the inflorescences, placing them in a staggered order.

We continue to weave lilac from beads. Scheme of the leaflets uses circular French technique.

We collect more beads on the wire and twist it onto the skein. A small piece of wire is twisted with the main 15 times, leaving a free end of 5 cm. We put 5 pieces of green beads on it and we braid the main end of the wire. After the first turn, make a second arc. After making 5-7 arcs, cut off the main piece of wire, fix it and hide the wire in the bead so that it is not noticeable. The leg is strengthened with a wire and wrapped with a ribbon. Such leaves should be made about twenty pieces. From leaflets we form a green twig.

To do this, we collect 17 loops of 10-12 beads on the wire, then fold them in half and twist together. We take two such twigs, combine them together, and we get a lilac brush. Carefully straighten all the eyelets, giving a beautiful shape. There are about forty of these twigs.

We continue our weaving with beads. Lilac must be decorated with leaves. Prepare them in the manner described above, it will take about seventy pieces.

Next, prepare the frame on the stand. To do this, we form the basis of a tree from the wire, place the bottom end in the previously prepared container, fill it with liquid gypsum and wait for it to solidify. Now we are screwing our workpieces onto this frame. Each branch of lilac of beads forms a beautiful crown of a tree. Leaflets also decorate the empty seats on the frame.

When the crown is ready, we cover the frame of the tree together with the container on which it is fixed, with a mixture of gypsum and glue. You can apply two layers to make the structure sturdy. Give it a good dry and cover it with brown paint.
