• beads of green color;
• bugles green;
• wire;
• floristic ribbon of brown color;
• painting tape;
• alabaster;
• pot.

Acacia from beads: a master class

If you have all the necessary materials, you can start the weaving of bead acacia. First we need to weave the clusters of our acacia:

1. We take a wire 1.3 m long, thread 5 yellow beads onto it and twist the ends seven times in its middle.
2. In the same way do the eyelets from both ends of the wire.
3. To attach the bunch of splendor to the main wire, attach an additional length of 20 cm. Bend it in half and wrap it around the bottom of the bunch three times. Again make two clusters of 5 beads, but we have them in a different plane.
4. After this, you need to make 8 more such loops, of which four out of 7 beads and 4 of 10 beads. Separate the series, consisting of four loops, twists into 3 turns.
5. Now it is necessary to perform rows from a large bead: 1 row - eyelets from 3 beads, 2 row - from 5, 3 row - from 7.
6. In the next row, you can combine a large and small beads: loops with 7 small beads wrapped around loops with large beads.
7. In the last row we make loops of 9 small beads.
8. For our tree, 15 bunches, made according to this principle, will be needed.

Now we turn to the foliage:

1. On a wire of 60 cm long we string 1 glass bead, 5 beads of green color and again 1 glass beaker. In the middle of the wire we twist and make a spiral 5 mm.
2. In the same way we make 2 more loops.
3. Again, make four loops, but they will already have three central beads.
4. In the next four rows in the center will be already 1 bead. So we got a twig from 5 rows.
5. Such blanks with 5 rows should be made only 20 pieces, and with 4 rows and 3 rows - also 20 twigs.

As you can see, when performing acacia from beads, the circuits are not complex, but the process itself is quite long. When all the details are ready, proceed to assembling the acacia from the beads:

1. Using a silk thread, we connect three branches and one bunch, wrapping them around the trunk. In the same way, we collect the remaining bundles.
2. From 3-4 such bundles we collect a branch, wrapping its trunk with floral tape.
3. From 4-6 branches we collect a tree, and for thickening the common trunk is wound first with a paint tape, and then again with a floral one.

It remains to fill the pot with alabaster, insert a tree in it and wait until it dries. We decorate the pot with pebbles or moss. The symbol of immortality is ready!

Of the beads you can weave and other beautiful flowering trees: wisteria , sakura or lilac .
