Traditional Christmas tree, unthinkable without itfestive decoration of the house and the new year mood. For three centuries, this symbol of Christmas and New Year adorns our homes in their unchanged form, with bright colored toys, a six-pointed star at the top, and colored, "mischievous" lights running across its branches.
But life does not stand still, modern views,fashion trends in art and design break traditions and stereotypes, creating unusual modern forms of such relatives and friends from childhood. So, the New Year tree in the hands of designers, using the most various methods, materials and artistic methods for realization, sometimes gets the most bizarre forms. Fir-trees from feathers, glass and metal, from various natural materials (cones, moss and hay), from textiles, paper and plastic, in their traditional form or abstract, barely outlining familiar contours, now adorn the houses on New Year's Eve.
Стать художником и дизайнером и создать The symbolic image of a Christmas tree for interior decoration or for a gift, using various artistic tricks and materials, everyone can. One of these techniques is the beadwork of voluminous objects - art, based on ancient traditions. A small Christmas tree made of beads will decorate a festive table, it can be made the center of an original festive composition. A Christmas tree made of beads, in the form of a traditional tree, or an abstract New Year symbol will be a good gift to friends.
Christmas tree of beads can be very different.Its color, size and shape will depend entirely on the artist’s imagination. But in any case, the work will need a lot of different size beads of green, white, gold and wire of different thickness.
Christmas tree of beads
For the embodiment of the traditional classic Christmas tree, beads of green are needed in several shades, thick wire for the trunk and thin for twigs, brown thread, stand and plaster mix.
1. We begin work with the manufacture of the top.We take a rather long end of a thin wire, string 10 green beads on it, distribute them in the center, bend the wire and twist the loop of beads. From each end of this central loop in the same way we make three more loops of 10 beads. It turns out a twig of 7 loops, with one central. There should be four such branches. We use beads of different shades, lighter in the center, darker towards the edges. So the Christmas tree will be more realistic.
2. Now we wind each branch with a brown thread to the wire for the frame in series from four sides. All loop-needles lift up. It turned out the tetrahedral top of the Christmas tree.
3The remaining branches of the Christmas tree do the same tetrahedral, collecting them from individual branches consisting of beaded loops. On each subsequent row, we increase the number of loops so that the finished branches are longer, and the tree expands to the base of the trunk, taking a conical shape. Each row of branches fasten to the frame trunk as they are manufactured. So it will be seen how many rows of branches still need to be done. We understand each row of branches upwards.
4. Set the finished Christmas tree in the stand and pour plaster solution. You can decorate the base with sparkles, moss or cotton wool.
Christmas tree of beads with their own hands can be made anddifferently. For example, in the form of an amazing lamp decorating a festive interior. For work will be needed: one or more cones of transparent plastic of different sizes, white or golden glass beads or large beads, Christmas tree luminous garland, PVA glue. Cover the cone with glue and sprinkle abundantly with beads and glass beads. You can add a little bit of different colors to white and gold. On a large tray or platter we lay out a garland, on top of the lamps we put the Christmas tree cones, decorate the tray with spruce branches and balls. Fairy New Year's composition is ready.
A Christmas tree made of beads can be a substitute for a traditional New Year tree, or it can be a very beautiful addition to it, decorating a mantelpiece, sitting on a low nightstand or table.
