Master class on making rowan beads - full description, simple and complicated schemes, inspiring photos

Anyone can learn how to create a rowan tree from beads. This will require suitable material, a little free time, and a truncated set of tools. But for a start, do not take up a complex version of this handicraft.

Suppose it will be just a small branch of rowan beads, but the experience gained will allow you to create more complex versions of the direction. For this master invented several simplified approaches to the performance of weaving, which can be perceived as educational methods.

Do not think that it is very difficult, because the main thing is to occupy yourself with an interesting case at your leisure. To make it work, it is enough to follow the scheme, the description and other recommendations of the masters. Let's start learning this fascinating variety of needlework.

Let's make a rowan tree out of beads

Rowan belongs to the genus of small woody plants and the family - Pink. However, to form a special taste of wine, it is often used as a rootstock for other fruit trees from this family - pears and quinces. The grafting takes about 10 years.

Interesting fact: Russian winemakers began to use this method from the beginning of the twentieth century. They relied on the Nevezhinskaya rowan, but its name was deliberately changed to "Nezhinskaya". Presumably for commercial purposes for the beauty of sound, but officially it is believed that to mislead competitors. According to one version this hoax was invented by Shustov, according to another by Smirnov. But it is not known for certain how it really happened and why it happened.

Now we have enough information about the rowan tree. We can move on to the consideration of the master class rowan from beads with their own hands step by step with photos.

What will be needed for work

Ordinary wire made of iron or aluminum;
The elements of green and red beads;
String;
Decorative vase.

Leaves

It is advantageous to begin the making with the design of the leaf. It is based on nine small leaves. To successfully carry out the weaving of the rowan beads must resemble the original. Therefore, qualitatively decorated the smallest details. Small leaf is collected from five rows. On a wire threaded green beads for 1 and 5-th strip. The others use two elements of glass beads.

They are assembled into a complete leaf. To do this, three leaves are twisted on the wire. Detail is straightened out. You can add six more sheets in pairs. In fact, a starter rowan leaf is created. In this way 14 rowan leaves are created.

Berry

The bunch is braided a little more complicated, as each should have at least 10 red berries. Let's proceed to the making:

A piece of wire of 65-70 cm is cut off;
The first bead is threaded on the wire with 10 cm from the edge. The element is fastened and it is made more secure by finishing the wire;
The red element is placed 2 cm from the previous glass beads;
The base is twisted again near the second bead;
All the berries are twisted together. A bunch of rowanberries is formed;
This method is used for the other 8 beads;
A bunch of rowanberries is formed from three clusters;
For this purpose, 3 clusters are joined together and twisted near the base;
Seven identical clusters are created;
They are wrapped with thread near the base.

Branches

The branches of the rowan are formed. For this purpose, the bunch is twisted together with a leaf. After the retreat, a new leaf is screwed to the twig. Seven identical rowan sprigs are created. All are wrapped with string at the base.

Assembling

To create a stem of rowan beads, you need a compacted wire. To it near the base is fixed starter twig. It is tightly wrapped with string. Below add other twigs. A complete tree is formed. For beauty and reliability of the place of attachment again wrapped with string.

To complete the composition of the rowan beads is inserted into a decorative vase, which in advance is filled with plasticine or plaster. Allowed additional decoration.

A winter version of the rowan beaded rowan

In the winter time everything seems to stand still, waiting for new sips of summer and strong sunlight. But the rowan tree gives people and rare birds its red fruits covered with snow and ice. That is why people involuntarily wondered how to weave a winter rowan from beads in order to behold this beauty all year round.

Materials to work with:

A thin, thick version of wire.
Large beads or beads that have brightness inherent in the color red.
Beads of white and silver.
Reel of brown cords.
Glue type PVA, alabaster.
Sunflower oil, water and a thin brush.
Shape to create a base.
Gouache, acrylic base paint in brown or white.
Varnish.
Glitter.

If all is complete, you can proceed to assembly:

We take a wire of 25 cm. The red element is put on the basis and twisted at least 10 times, until a distance of 1 cm is formed. This method is used to make a bunch with 7, 9 and 11 elements of glass beads. The more beads, the more massive handicraft;
Berries are allowed to create from the beads, but large ones are applied one at a time, small ones can be woven in several units at once. To create a quality winter rowan you will need at least 24 clusters;
Snow is created with 8 white or silver beads. They are driven to the middle part and the wire is twisted several times. At all ends are twisted one element at a time, then all at once together. Imitation snowball is added on top of a pear. Everything is twisted into one composition;
Thick wire allows you to fasten up to 4 bunches. It takes 6 pieces of such wire. They are connected into a trunk to be wrapped with thread and fastened with glue. Once dry, the tree is placed in the original mold and poured with alabaster, which has been diluted in water. It should already be lubricated with a minimal amount of oil;
After drying, the trunk, branches are covered with a thin layer of a mixture of PVA glue to better take and alabaster diluted in water.

Brown paint is used to decorate the area not covered with snow. Other loose areas are improved with white paint, additionally sprinkled with glitter. The upper part of the base is painted white, silver, red beads are added to it and sprinkled with glitter.

We have considered different options for making rowan beads. Each of them gives a general idea of how to properly create this handicraft. But this does not mean that it is impossible to change some moments, because various experiments will increase the uniqueness and value of the product.
