Modern masters of beadwork still use the experience accumulated over thousands of years in decorating and decorating clothes, making various necklaces, bracelets, harnesses, belts, etc. But recently miniature decorative bead trees have become popular, while in their production there is nothing complicated, they need only an instruction and a little patience.
Materials
For the production of a bead tree it is necessary to have beads, beads, sequins, wire of different diameters, floristic tape, rigid rods, decorative pebbles, gypsum for fixing the product, sand, etc., different in quality and color. But do not be frightened by the list of materials listed above. Beading is not limited to one day or one job, it is easy to acquire the necessary details over time.
The Sakura Tree
The sakura tree is an excellent educational material for those who want to master beadwork, in particular flowers and trees. Sakura is trudging simply, and the result is a pleasure with its beauty and grace.
Start by cutting a lot of pieces of wire about 25 cm long.
Then it is necessary to thread 5 beads of beads on the wire and twist them into a loop, placing 5-7 cm from the end of the wire. Now it is necessary to retreat 1-1,2 cm and make the second same loop. The procedure is repeated until 5-7 cm is left to the other end of the wire. Note that the total number of loops must be odd.
Then the wire bends along the central loop, and its ends are twisted together. This is one branch of the future tree. To sakura looked spectacular and even elegantly it is recommended to make about 100 such twigs.
After making twigs, you need to assemble them into bundles of 10-12 pieces, twisting together. Then the obtained beams of sakura need to be collected near the dense base. A hard core can become a good solid foundation. It is a special metal rod, which is widely used in beadwork and in the manufacture of artificial flowers. If such a stick is not at hand, you can use a wooden shish kebab skewer or pencil. Twigs-bundles are wound on a solid base, forming the shape of a tree.
To make the tree look more natural, two methods of winding are used: floristic tape (this is sticky, slightly corrugated, paper tape) and thread. Beautiful looks silk thread.
Now the bead tree needs to be planted. To do this, you need to decide on the form, manner of decoration. In the form of a tree fixed with a plaster and decorated. Gypsum can be replaced with other materials, for example, plasticine or plastic, hardening in air.
Red branch of sequins
To make a red branch, you need to have sequins in the form of leaflets.
As before, first cut the wire pieces of 20-25 cm, of which twigs are made. A braid is sewn onto the wire, and a leg about 1 cm long curls from below. Then, in the same way, one more sheet is made on each of the free ends. Then the free ends of the wire are twisted together and the sequins, that is, the next 2 leaves, are again sewn together. This procedure is carried out until the end of the wire, this is one red branch of the future cherry blossom.
Again, in order to make an elegant tree, it is necessary to make about 100 such twigs, the splendor of a tree depends on this. And for the production of a single branch of an Oriental cherry tree, approximately 10-12 branches are needed. Then the twigs-billets are twisted together into the main branch of the tree. And so on, according to the already known plan, that is, assembling the sakura tree, planting in shape, decoration.

In this version of the bead tree orange beads are orange. A good form for planting in this case is a wicker basket. In the decorations there is no limit, beautifully look decorative pebbles and bright orange beads, imitating the fallen fruit of an orange.
The sprig of the orange tree is made according to the actions shown in the photo.
