First, you need to mark the length of 26 cm on the sheet and draw a vertical line. This segment will act as a boundary. Draw the branch itself along it, approximately what it will look like.
Important! You should regularly check the sketch while weaving so that the twig does not blur.
When the drawing is ready, the prepared beads are laid out on it to imagine what the finished product will look like.
Step by step steps:
- Take the wire from a skein without cutting it, this way the branch will be solid and will look neater.
- The beads that complete the composition are put on first, that is, they are put on in the reverse order.
- Move all elements away from the edge by 53 cm. This will be the central branch.
- Take the first bead and bend the wire in half. Then twist it 2.5 cm.
- Do the same with the second bead, but at a distance of 2 cm.
- Then we twist the two wires together so that there is a small indentation from the place where the first two branches are twisted.
- Next, you should do the same with all the beads, checking the sketch so that the branch clearly follows the pattern.
- Finally, cut the wire with wire cutters. Then twist the ends and press them with your fingers.
- This decoration can be attached to the hair with hairpins. Can also be used as a bracelet or necklace.
