Beading is a fascinating but painstaking process that requires a lot of perseverance. But the result is worth it. Shimmering figurines, flowers, trees and various decorations will not leave anyone indifferent. Plus, it's a great hobby. And you can please your loved ones by giving them one of your creations. In today's article, we will tell you how to make maple from beads. So let's get started.

For beaded maple we need:

• beads are red, yellow, green, orange, as in our case the bead maple is autumn;
• wire 0.3-0.4 cm thick;
• a ball of thick brown thread;
• scissors;
• thick wire for the trunk and branches;
• gypsum mixture;
• flower pot;
• black tea.

Stage one

• Let's start creating an autumn maple from beads with an orange leaf. We take a wire 30 centimeters long and orange beads. We collect 3 beads on the wire. Through the last 2, we thread the wire back and tighten it.
• Next, we collect 3 more beads and do the same. Then 4 beads, then 5 and 6. We do everything in the samesequences.
• Now we start decreasing the number of beads in each row. That is, we collect 5 beads, tighten, 4, 3, 2 and 1.
• Twist the wire in a couple of turns. It turned out such a rhombus. This will be the middle part.

Stage Two

Go to the side parts of the tree. Making maple from beads with a step-by-step photo is not at all difficult. To do this, take two pieces of wire 25 centimeters long.

• Start again with one bead. Then 2, 3, 4, 5.
• The next step is that we collect 4 beads on one end of the wire, thread the other free end into our first rhombus between 5 and 4 rows of beads from the bottom.
• And now we thread this end into strung beads and tighten it. And we draw the wire in the next row between 4 and 3.
• Put 3 beads on the wire and tighten with the other end.
• We go down one more row and thread the wire between 3 and 2 next.
• We collect 2 beads. We pass the wire between 2 and 1 side by side.
• We string the last bead and tighten it. Spin a couple of turns.
• By analogy, on the other side, we make exactly the same part of the leaf.
• Let's get down to the smallest part of our leaflet. She has the maximum number of beads - 4. That is, we do everything the same as before, but after a row of 4 beads, we begin to reduce their number.
• After we went to decrease and scored 3 beads, we thread the free edge of the wire into the extreme part of ourleaf between 4 and 3 side by side. We tighten by passing the wire through our 3 beads.
• Pass the wire between 3 and 2 side by side. And so on until the last bead.
• From the other edge of the leaf, we do everything in the same way.
• We got a leaf consisting of 5 parts.
• The ends of the wires are divided into two parts and twisted together.

Using the same technology, we make leaves from beads of other colors.

Stage three

Colors can be combined to make leaves yellow-orange or yellow-green. Basically, whatever you like. After we have made the required number of leaves, we take a thread in our hands and begin to wrap the ends of the wire with it. A little before reaching the edge of the wire, we tie the thread into a knot and cut off the excess.

Start collecting the tree.

• In order to make "bare" branches from which the leaves have already fallen, we take pieces of wire (preferably dense, such as aluminum or steel), wrap them with a thread by about one third. With the help of these branches, we will collect leaves and attach them to the trunk.
• Now we tie the leaves 2-3 pieces together with their "legs" and wrap them with a thread. We also wrap bare twigs.
• Then we gradually connect them all together with wire and thread, forming large branches, each of which has 10-15 small branches with and without leaves.
• We form a trunk from two pieces of thick wire, fastening them together with a rope.
• Attach a branch to the trunk with a thread.

Stage Four

The tree was collected. It remains to "plant" him.

• Knead the gypsum mixture and fill it with a small pot for flowers, leaving room for the "soil".
• We plant our beaded maple there. Leave until the gypsum has completely set.
• Checking if the plaster is dry. If yes, then you can start laying "earth" in the pot. To do this, we take ordinary tea, preferably granulated, pour it into a pot, on top of gypsum. To prevent our tea leaves from scattering, we need to fix them with a transparent varnish.

That's it! Our wonderful beaded maple, the photo of which can be seen just above, made with care and love, is ready!
