Spring birch from beads

A symbol of spring and beauty is a birch. She is very elegant, beautiful and helpful. Why not have such a beauty at home? Most often, needlewomen begin their work with this tree. Today I will show you a simple master class for its manufacture. She will turn out approximately 20 centimeters high.

For branches, we need two shades of Czech beads:
Dark green - 25 gr;
bright green - 10 gr;
Wire (brown) 0.03 - 1 coil;
Threads
Thick wire (for the formation of branches and trunk) - 2 pieces of 25 centimeters.
Violet large beads (for flower) - 1 sachet;
Pink beads - 5 g;
Gypsum - 400 gr;
Brown paint;
White paint;
Black varnish;
Beads for decoration.



First, cut the wire for the branch, about 60 cm. We collect three beads of dark green hue, then one bright and again three dark.



We lead the beads to the middle of the wire and scroll 2-3 times, making a loop.



Retreating somewhere by 1 cm, we make 5 more such loops.



And so it is on the other hand. In total, 11 loops should be obtained.



Now we fold the wire in half on the sixth loop and begin to twist the branch.



Here, we got one twig. For the top of the birch, we do everything exactly the same, but only 7 stitches, twist in half in half.




We attach one more thick wire to form the trunk. We take 8 branches (7 loops) for each trunk and twist them together. Then we wind our top onto a thick wire. And also on the other trunk.
Then we twist 3 branches of 11 loops into one. Such pairs will need about 13 pieces. The more, the birch will be fluffy. We wind the branches on a thick wire and fix them with threads.



Now we will make a flower from purple beads. Cut 25 cm of wire. Weave in a parallel way.



We make seven petals. For the rod, cut the wire 15 centimeters. Collect 30 pink beads and twist with a spiral.



Here's a flower we get.



Pick up a container for the bottom of the birch. Lay a plastic bag on top. Dilute 200 grams of gypsum with water. Pour the mixture into a container and place a birch on top. Immediately stick a purple flower. The gypsum will freeze overnight. Then coat the birch trunk with a solution using a brush. Again we wait for the night to dry completely.



Then we apply white paint to the barrel. Let dry for three hours. Paint the bottom with brown paint.



At the end we apply strokes with black varnish. The birch is ready!
