If you want, that you have turned out sakura from beads, the scheme of its weaving is the following:

How to create a twig of sakura from beads, you can see on the following photo:

After you have studied the basic patterns of weaving, you can proceed directly to the creation of a tree.

1. We begin to weave twigs. First you need to mix pink and green beads.
2. We take a piece of wire about 70 cm long, retreat from its edge by 15 cm and make a small loop. Then you need to collect the beads on the wire.
3. At a distance of one centimeter from each other we begin to knit leaflets, loops, on each of which five beads are strung together.
4. We twist the resulting roots.
5. After we get to the mark with a loop, we need to finish the weaving. Next, you have to twist the resulting workpiece: for this, add it in half.
6. We give the loops shape, straighten them. Similarly, we need to make 53 more branches.
7. Now we divide all 54 branches into groups: each must have six branches. In total there should be nine groups.
8. We proceed to create the main tree branch. For this we twist three large blanks, each of which consists of 6 branches.
9. We make three lateral branches, each of which includes two large blanks.
10. Then we begin to screw the side branches to the main sakura branch.
11. We take a paint tape or a floral tape and wrap the tree trunk with it.
12. Then we begin preparing the container for placing the cherry blossom.
13. Fill it with plaster. Insert the main tree trunk into the gypsum. We give time to dry up.
14. Now you need to decorate the very tank, which is sakura. To do this, plaster the gypsum with glue and pour out the remaining beads on it. Besides beads, the base can be decorated with small pebbles, sand, glass beads, etc.
15. After all the work has dried up, you can happily conclude that the cherry blossom bead is ready.

If you are not satisfied with the trunk of the tree, then you can make it thicker, using clay.

1. For this purpose, gray wires of the trunk of the sakura tree are greased with gray plasticine.
2. Toothpick we make notches on the trunk of a tree, imitating the bark.
3. Then we paint the trunk of a tree with acrylic paints.

From beads can be made as an ordinary Japanese cherry blossom having pink flowers, or use a different color beads.
