Wood from a wire with own hands

The tree in philosophical teachings personifies life itself in all its manifestations. A flat or three-dimensional image of a tree placed in a living room or a working room gives the people in it confidence in the future, health and well-being. About how to make a wire from a tree with your own hands, we'll tell in the article. When making trees from wire, you need cardboard, a small capacity of any type, paint, gel-gloss, a piece of foam, a material for creating a landscape cover and glue.

Master class on the manufacture of wood from wire

1. This step is not mandatory for the manufacture of the craft, but if there is a desire to make a more believable tree, you can sketch on the tracing paper, to correct the shape in the process of work.
2. Take a piece of thick wire along the length of 2 times more than the planned height of the tree. We bend the wire in half, forming a loop at the bottom. Taking a small stand under the flowers with two holes, we insert both ends of the wire into them.
3. If there are no holes in the container, then a piece of foam plastic around which the wire is wrapped can be used. Later, the foam is glued to the bottom of the container.
4. Twist the ends of the wire together. Large branches are formed from the same thick wire, tightly fastening them to the trunk.
5. For the manufacture of small branches we use a wire of smaller diameter. Adding branches to the tree, we have them at our discretion.
6. Tightly twist small twigs. Correct the trunk and branches, bending them to give the tree an attractive shape.
7. Aluminum foil wraps the tree. We try to lay the foil more tightly.
8. A well-laid foil simulates the texture of the bark of a tree.
9. Cover the bark with a brown paint. We let the paint dry. With a dry brush, we clean the bark so that it looks more natural.
10. On green paper, we draw and cut out the leaves.
11. By piercing the leaves, we plant them on wire twigs. Fix with liquid nails.
12. Cover the leaves with green paint, without trying at the same time to paint over without spaces, so that in some places a lighter green tone could be seen.
13. We glue the foam to the bottom of the container. We close the bottom with crumpled newspapers.
14. We fill with gypsum or make the top of the soil from the fabric.
15. The chips are stained and glued using PVA glue.
16. Our tree is ready!

You can make leaves from other materials: beads, coins, beads , pebbles. The photo shows variants of trees made of wire.
