This holiday is loved by absolutely everyone: children, adults and old people. New Year's Eve is full of miracles and magic, you can make all kinds of desires and congratulate your relatives and friends. The hassle for this holiday is no less.

You can give various little things, New Year's baubles, sweet compositions, but the one will be truly valuable presentYou will do it yourself. Indeed, all the meaning, all love, kindness and even your feelings are invested in these gifts. One such gift, which will be very useful and relevant, will be a Christmas tree woven from beads. She will decorate the New Year's atmosphere of the person dear to you and will always remind him of you.

For the master class on Christmas tree beading, we will need:
• Dark green bugles 30 grams;
• Brilliant green cabin 30 grams;
• Gold-colored wire 3 mm thick, need a coil 30 m;
• Medium thickness wire for the stability of branches;
• Thick wire for the barrel;
• Gold lurex thread, spool about 10 m;
• Ceramic shallow salt shaker;
• Brown acrylic paint;
• paint brush;
• Plateau;
• Scissors and ruler.




Pour the beads into a plate. Cut three strips of thin wire of 15 cm each. String two glass beads, then four cuttings and again two glass beads, twist the loop.




String the same amount of beads and twist the loop on the right. Another same loop on the left.




We weave three such twigs and cut off the thick wire for the trunk. Fold the wire for the barrel in half. Make the top of the Christmas tree.




We put two branches from the bottom of the trunk, one up. Together we wrap them with gold thread. While laying aside, we begin to weave branches.




In total there will be four tiers in the tree. Each tier will consist of large branches, starting with a small and ending with a large one. A branch of the first tier with a single branch, the second tier with a double, the third tier with a triple, and the branch of the fourth tier has four branches. We take two small branches and cut off a piece of the middle wire.




We insert this wire between the branches and wrap them into a single whole. The result was a double branch. Loops a little stretch to the top.




So weave 4 double branches for the highest tier, for it we cut off the thin wire of 8 cuts of 15 cm each. Second tier - cut the wire of 10 cuts of 25 cm each. Third tier of 12 cuts of 35 cm. Fourth lower tier of 14 cuts of 50 cm. Weave these are the branches. We cut the following segments from the middle wire: 4 cuts of 5 cm, 5 cuts of 6 cm, 6 cuts of 7 cm and 7 cuts of 9 cm. We twist and straighten each twig in pairs.




We collect the Christmas tree. We wind the thread tier by tier.




Pour gypsum divorced with water into a ceramic salt cellar and insert a Christmas tree into it, set it exactly so that the gypsum freezes. Paint the gypsum on top with brown paint.




New Year's beauty is ready! Do it!
