Sakura beadwork - beautiful photos with a step by step master class for beginners

The mesmerizing sakura is not by chance a national treasure of Japan. The tree with delicate flowers is a peculiar symbol of the East. It brings health, prosperity, peace and love to the family.

The inflorescence of 5 petals represents happiness and complete harmony. According to the traditions of this country, the decoration of homes must be dominated by faint pink shades, indicating hospitality and warm feelings of the owners towards guests.

Many are interested in how to make a sakura tree from beads yourself. In the house, it is always placed in full view, so you can admire the beauty and charm. It is sure to delight those present with the talent of the craftsman who created it. There are 2 methods of weaving the plant - from individual flowers or with thick, sprawling branches.

Both compositions look enchanting and worthy of admiration. The second, more luxurious version, is made with loops. You can attach children to the process, who will be fascinated by the work with sequins and beads.

Scheme of weaving a flower

You can go this way, when flowers are blossoming on the branches, and birds are singing in their nests. This kind of weaving will be useful for beginners. The fascinating process gives a lot of pleasure.

Preparatory stage

Before proceeding to work, it is necessary to have materials available:

Glass beads of 2 tones - pink and white.
Wire with a diameter of 0.3 - 0.4 mm.
5 pieces of 40 cm thick copper wire.
Stand to place the tree.
Tape or tape.
Pliers, scissors.
PVA glue.
Tinfoil.
Plasticine.
Gypsum.
Acrylic paint.
Varnish.
Sisal.
Nest with birds.

Weaving flowers

The principle of loop loops with a turn is used. The wire length of 130 cm is designed to create 3 flowers. Then the sequence is as follows:

On half the length of the wire is strung with pink glass beads.
Of the 7, previously counted beads, made loops.
Above it a loop of beads is made with a pair of twists at the base.

Petals .

Similarly, another 4 petals are made so that they fit snugly, edges touching each other.

Stamen

An important part of the craft is the production of stamens:

On a wire length of 40 cm strung 1 white beads. If it bend and twist in 10 turns, it will look like a stamen.
Further workflow is exactly the same as the previous one. It is necessary to try to arrange the stamens as densely as possible in the space.
On a single piece is supposed to place 10 pieces of the core and curl them tightly.
A bunch of stamens is passed in the middle of the flower and by twisting at the base.

This technique allows you to create a complete flower.

Flowers

In the composition, 2 shades of pink beads are combined with each other. Guided by this rule, the weaving will consist of light beads for 70 inflorescences and a darker range to make 50 pieces.

To form 1 branch of the bunch, 5 made flowers are assembled. Take into account the moment that the twisting takes place to the end branches of the wire. In this order should turn out 24 branches.

Branching trunk.

5 sections of wire are placed so that they, being in the container for the tree, looked like an open palm.
For this purpose, the wire is bent like 5 fingers of the hand, taking into account their not equal length. Some fingers are longer, others shorter.
Next, the trunk is fastened with a leucoplasty at the beginning of the divergence of the bunches. The palm formed in the middle is withdrawn for the bird's nest.
On a similar principle, branched rods are wrapped in several layers.

Proper planting of the tree

As a stand, any container of sufficient depth will do.

Loose balls of foil are placed in the pot, so that later no cracks are formed. A medium consistency gypsum mortar is poured.
The composition is transferred to the intended vessel, after which it dries for 6 hours.

Shaping the relief of the trunk

Next, the master class of a sakura made of beads is as follows:

Twenty-four flowers are twisted on the branches. You can go by this principle - to disband in different shades, or so that 1 part looks light, and the other - dark.
A thin wire is used to create a bend in the tree bark, for which it is necessary to wrap it around the trunk, while gluing it in many places with adhesive tape. The desired embossing effect is obtained externally.
In order not to damage the appearance of the inflorescences of the east, they are carefully covered with foil. From the calculation of 1 tbsp. of plaster, 1, 5 glue, mixed with water, prepare the composition that is needed to apply to the sprouts and the stem of the tree.
After waiting for the plant to dry, you can paint the trunk. In the beginning, white paint is used for the general background. To create the appearance of a tree, then a beige tone should be chosen. After the final drying, a colorless varnish is used. To decorate the pot, sisal is glued around the circle.
The final chord will be the decoration of the nest with birds, for which you will need plasticine and glue.

The resulting tree, which required a certain amount of diligence and accuracy, is worthy of the best praise in the end!

Another weaving variant

You can choose another way to create a real oriental beauty with your own hands - a sakura from beads. To make it look luxurious and pleasing to the eye, you also need to have a little free time and have patience.

Materials

To make the dream come true, the technique of looping weaving is used. You will need:

Rhinestone in pink or lilac shades of 50 g.
Wire 0,3 - 0,4 mm - 30 m.
Container for the finished product.
Pebbles.
Hairpins.

Weaving sprigs

Branching tree in the Eastern style consists of 7 loops:

Beads in the amount of 7 pieces are strung on a wire of 60 cm. The beads are placed in the center, the wire is bent, forming a loop with a 9-fold scroll.
On either side of the wire, the same amount of glass beads are threaded through, followed by twisting 7 times.
Between each side of the wire should be twisted twice. Seven beads are dialed on it to form a loop.
As the process continues, the wire is twisted 7 times with further stringing of 7 beads. Thus you get a loop, which should be twisted twice. After the formation of 4 leaves need to continue the work, adding another 3 loops woven.
On the other side of the rod are recruited 7 beads, from which the loop is formed and made 7 turns. Together with the loops of the wire is scrolled 2 times between them. Now there are 5 petals on the branch.
The remaining couple of loops are formed according to the previous pattern, and then at the end of the finished branch 9 times twisted twig.
Should weave 45 such branches. The lushness of the tree depends on the amount of loops formed on a particular section of wire.

Binding branches

Branches are connected by 3 pieces by twisting in 20 turns. You get a total of 15 compositions.
All elements repeatedly similar twisting of 3 pieces. Branches should be placed one below the other. We get 5 sketches.
Finally, for 2 separate twigs, 3 clusters of sakura and 2 by twisting to the end of the sprouts are joined. It is important that the inflorescences when twisting are placed scattered, that is - one below the other.
The last twigs are fastened together to form a tree. The remaining wire is twisted to the end, forming a stand.
For stability, the stubs are attached with hairpins.
The product is installed in a container, pebbles are put to strengthen the trunk.

Beautiful sakura can be placed on a windowsill or elsewhere in the room. It will create a peculiar coloring, will give the interior a special, unique style!
