Handmade - birch from beads as a gift.

Crafts from beads - this is the best gift, because in every product you feel the hand of the master (manual skill). But quite rightly there can be a question about what kind of craft to present. Let's look at this handicraft on an example, like a birch from a bead, which can be summer and winter. The second option is ideal for a gift for the new year and any other winter holiday. But the summer birch can also be given in the winter for a warmer mood and an emphasis on the coming summer. At the same time, you can say these words: - Dear friend, let while looking at this birch in your soul will always be summer.

And now several master classes for making two types of crafts - birch from beads.

Handy No. 1.

Russian summer birch from beads is done quite simply, the main thing is to do everything in the right order. This needlework will look great on the window, and please the eye of the person you are gifted with. The production of the birch will not take much time, but all because in this version I suggest making a minimum of branches. So the birch from the beads will look easier and more airy.

To get started, you will need:

Beads about 150-170 g.

Wire diameter of 0.3 mm.

Building gypsum.

PVA glue.

Another wire thickness of 3-5 mm.

And a variety of pebbles as an ornament.

Preparation method:

Beads for the product better take a few shades, so your birch will look more natural. For a basis it is possible to take beads of green color and to add to it a little bit light brown and yellow. Wire wires from electrical wires, better copper, but before removing them from insulation. This option is the most ideal, because it produces several pieces at once.

Wire cut into a length of 50 centimeters, for weaving twigs.

At the very center of the wire, seven beads are typed, and twisted in seven or eight turns. So it turns out a loop. On the two ends of the wire, another seven beads are put on and twisted in the form of a loop. Then again, twist the wire down seven turns. And so on we continue to make twigs, all you need to do is fifteen by nine and sixty by eleven loops. In principle, this is not long and easy.

When all the branches are already made, start collecting them three in one, so you get twenty - for the leaves and five - for the tops. Then each branch is wound with an adhesive plaster.

We collect a tree.

Take the wire 3 or 5 millimeters, and attach to the top those twigs that have 9 loops. The tree will consist of two tops, so for one wind up 3 branches, it will be the highest. Then wind thirteen branches in turn. The second tip. For it, wind up two apex branches to the wire, and all 7 pieces are hardwood. Now connect both tops, the one that has more branches, try to make higher. If everything turned out, then wrap and thicken the trunk, this can be done with paper tape. Now fill the tree with beads gypsum, it needs to be diluted 1: 1 with PVA glue. It must necessarily be allowed to dry. Then, to give the trunk the appearance of the birch, apply white acrylic paint, plus black inclusions.

Here's how to get a great gift birch from beads with your own hands.

Handy No. 2.

Winter birch from beads.

We do everything as well as for summer birch, only instead of green beads we take transparent and white. But you can make a winter birch from paper and beads. And this is how it is done.

Prepare blue cardboard, white paper, beads of two colors, PVA glue and scissors. In order to draw a drawing, you need a marker (preferably black).

Lay out the trunk. Cut slices of white paper, and crumble them into balls. From the balls lay out and paste on the cardboard barrel.

Apply beads of different colors and glue the PVA branches with glue to the cardboard.

Lay out the twigs and paste so that the crown of the tree is obtained. On the trunk, make a black marker pen hyphens (as on a real birch tree). Glue the snow from the paper balls.

Wonderful crafts are ready.
