Mimosa

Crafts from beads are simply mesmerizing. All kinds of jewelry, trinkets, animal figurines are made of small colorful balls, and pictures from beads of various subjects look original. An excellent decoration of the home interior are crafts of plant subjects (beautiful flowers or graceful trees). Today you will learn how to make a miniature mimosa tree. The work is painstaking, requires perseverance and concentration, but at the same time beadwork helps to relieve nervous tension and, plunging headlong into the work, distracts from everyday routine. And the result will please not only you, but also the guests of your apartment.
To create mimosa from beads you need to prepare:
- yellow, green and dark green beads (two packs of 25 g);
- two skeins of thin wire (green and silver), plus a piece of a denser wire (aluminum is suitable);
- floristic ribbon (brown and green);
- an empty cream jar;
- scissors;
- plasticine.
Step 1. First you need to cut a piece of silver wire (about 60 cm) and take the yellow beads. At this point you will make a twig with flowers.
Put a few beads on the wire (up to 20 pieces).
Separate 7 pieces and make a loop of wire, you get the first turn.
So continue to form coils of 7 beads.
On one branch should get about 15 turns. If there are fewer, then the branch will be shorter, if more - longer.
As soon as all the flowers are formed, you need to fold the twig in half and twist the two halves of the wire together to make a dense twig.
It is necessary to make 5-6 long blanks with flowers and as many short ones.
Step 2. Now you need to go to weaving leaves. In mimosa they look like a sprig of spruce. Therefore, if you have already made a Christmas tree or pine from beads, then it will be easier for you. Cut 80 cm of green wire and put on it 7 green beads (it is better to mix the dark with light and mix). Leave one (extreme) bead on a loop of wire, and through the other 6 draw the other end.
Gradually, you should get from 10 to 28 thin leaves. When the short ends of the wire remain, twist them together.
Such complex leaflets need to be made 6 pieces. They can be of different lengths, it all depends on the size of the wire cut.
Step 3. Now proceed to the formation of the tree. First, cut 10 cm of aluminum wire and screw three branches with flowers (yellow) to its end. Wrap everything in green floral tape (it is sticky on one side).
Then add two leaves to the twig and wrap it again with a green ribbon.
So you should get three big branches, on which 3 yellow and 2 green blanks are attached.
Twist the three trunks together and fasten the ends of the wires tightly. Wrap the whole tree with a green ribbon.
Step 4. Take an empty cream jar (lower part) and put a piece of plasticine in it. Wrap a jar of brown floral ribbon.
Insert the tree into the container and secure it with plasticine. Then you need to carefully wrap the entire surface with a brown ribbon.
The magnificent miniature mimosa tree is ready. Originally it will look on one of the shelves of your house.
