Tree of Happiness

Tree of Happiness is a talisman of feng shui, serving to attract love, money, health and happiness. Purchased trees usually look like a tree with semiprecious stones instead of leaves and fruits. And in each of these stones there is a certain energy charge, for example, love and happiness in your personal life.

Own happiness trees made of different materials: paper, beads, beads, from natural materials( dried flowers, for example), etc. Depending on what material and technique are chosen by you, the work can last from several hours to severalweeks.

This tutorial will help you create a fairly simple tree of happiness from beads with your own hands.

For work you will need:

• Beads;
• colored sequins in the form of butterflies;
• twine or thread for knitting;
• thin and thick wire;
• mold for gypsum;
• gypsum and a container for its preparation;
• scissors;
• centimeter.

This is the most basic tree, not requiring skills of weaving from beads. If you decide to make more complex bead trees with your own hands, weaving schemes may be needed.

Operation:

Using a centimeter, measure and cut off 40 cm of wire. String and have in the middle of 15 beads.

We twist the wire starting from the base, so that a leaf is formed. This way we do 16 sheets.

We string 2 beads onto the wire, conduct the wire from the bottom up through the holes in the sequin. String another 4 beads. Again we pass the wire through the holes, but now from top to bottom, then string another 2 beads. Forming a leaflet with a butterfly, we twist the wire from the base.

So do 7 more branches with butterflies.

We form a large branch: it is twisted from four leaves and one leaf and a sequin.

In the same way we collect blanks in a branch even more.

To make a barrel, add a piece of thick wire to the branch and twist it with a twine or thread to knit a brown color from the base of the branches.

We make one more such tree from beads and pajetok of other color.

We transect tree trunks with each other.

Our tree is ready! Now you need to create a stand for it.

Prepare the gypsum solution: pour water into the mixing container and pour the powdery gypsum. Stirring. The finished solution should be a consistency of liquid sour cream. Everything is quite elementary, however, if you want, you can find a video of gypsum solution preparation on the Net.

Fill the solution into the mold, let it freeze for about 1 hour.

When the gypsum solidifies, we take out the casting.

Cooking solution again.

In the recess, vertically install the tree and carefully fill it again with gypsum.

We are waiting until it freezes, then you can decorate the base of the tree at your discretion, for example, paint with colors and decorate with rhinestones.

There are many options for making bead trees with your own hands, mic professionals, of which there are a great many, will help you choose the materials and techniques of a unique tree that can become a tree of happiness for you and your loved ones.
