For work it is necessary to prepare tools:

• beads of four shades of green (preferably different contrasts);
• wire mm, 1 and 3;
• thread;
• adhesive (can PVA);
• acrylic paints;
• wide and narrow tassel.

When the objects are at hand, you can proceed to the creative process.

First take the wire thickness, mm and cut a piece of length 40 cm. It is threaded with 9 pieces of beads, and placed in the center of the line. They retreat from the edge of the wire 6 cm to twist the loop beautifully. On one thread make them up to 9 pieces, keeping the interval - 1 cm. Then the strips are bent in half, leaving one loop in the center.Such specimens must be made at least 15 pieces. Similarly, weaving another 57 branches, consisting of 11 loops. Large branches will be evenly distributed along the tree, and small ones will serve to form the crown.

Glass beads of various shades of green must first be mixed to thread on the string in random order.

Competent weaving from beads means a constant control of the number of objects to be joined, so that the trees turn out to be of great beauty. Therefore, the next step starts from a simple calculation of the source material. Then the branches, which consist of 9 loops, are combined into small bouquets. They should be 5 pieces.

In order to obtain a beautiful crown at the birch, 12 long shoots are attached to the upper edge of the trunk consisting of 3 branches. The remaining two are attached 7 more elongated branches. The connection is made so that the thick part of the structure rises above the product by 2 cm. The hanging threads are wrapped with scotch, leaving the tips at the bottom to make the roots of them. As a result, they will serve as a reliable fastening of the tree to the base.
