Sakura weaving

So, further we will tell you how to weave sakura from beads.

Step 1

The future twigs of cherry blossom are woven. In the figure below, bead sakura: a scheme of weaving twigs

It is necessary to mix pink and white beads. Each branch spends 50 cm of wire. We string 6 beads onto the wire and make a loop. The wire is twisted several times( about 1 cm) and 6 beads are again recruited. So we need to do 11 times. In some leaves you can add green beads - it will create the effect of leaflets.

Then the wire bends in half and twists - so we get a twig-billet to create a future tree.

These blanks should be about 80-90 pieces.

Step 2

After the workpieces are made, it is necessary to begin to twist them together into three twigs. In this way all small pieces are intertwined. Let's call them basic.

Step 3

Collect the branches.

For the uppermost branches of cherry blossoms, two main blanks are intertwined.

For the middle of an sakura we interlace on 3 basic preparations - 3 pieces.

For the lower twigs of cherry weave 5 basic blanks - 3 pieces.

Step 4

Collect the trunk of the sakura tree.

Here we need a thick wire.

First, the top twigs wind on it. After that, the thick wire turns into a paint tape.

A little lower twisted middle twigs, and also the wire wraps with scotch tape.

Here, the lower branches are screwed and again everything is wrapped.

Step 5

The scotch wrapped tree is mounted in a pot or on a mold and is poured with alabaster staple solution. Wrap twigs with beads foil - so as not to soil them at the next stage.

Step 6

At this stage, it is necessary to coat the tree trunk with a special solution:

1. tablespoon alabaster
2. 1.5 tablespoons of PVA adhesive
3. Water

The consistency of the solution should look like a pancake test. The tree is coated with a solution and put on drying.

Step 7

The tree trunk is covered with brown acrylic paint, the base on which is a tree - green. For the base, you can also use artificial grass. On the "grass" scatter beads( they are glued, if the base is covered with varnish).

Step 8

After drying, you can remove the foil. The branches are straightened, the form is created.

Sakura tree is ready! Remember that it is an ancient symbol of Japan. It recalls the transience of time, and at the same time is a symbol of female youth, beauty and in general, youth. Such a tree fits perfectly into the motives of the eastern interiors. Or, in the setting of a gentle room of a romantic girl.
