Let's make New Year's gifts with our own hands! For example, here are these beaded Christmas trees. Beaded trees symbolize a talisman for the house, a talisman of good luck. You won't find such a Christmas tree in a gift shop! And it is not difficult to weave it, it is enough to have a little patience and a minimum of material. Is our step by step guide on making a Christmas tree from beads with your own hands will help you with this.
Christmas tree made of beads: the simplest technique
To weave a beaded Christmas tree, we need:
- White beads - 20 - 25 g, green beads - 80 - 90 g;
- Wire spool - 0.3 - 0.5mm;
- Lid from under the cream, or a small toy bucket;
- Plasticine or cement.
Making sprigs for beaded spruce
We start by making twigs.
On a wire 30-35 cm long, string 2 white and 7 green beads. Then the end of the wire is threaded through the second white bead and through all the green ones. The first white bead will be the closing one, that is, the top of the branch.
Then we put on 2 white and 9 green beads, we also repeat the manipulation of threading the wire into the white and the rest of the beads, on the other hand we repeat stringing 2 and 7 pieces. Thus, we make 12 "needles" of our spruce.
The first branch will be the top of our tree, and all the other branches will be attached to the wire. To make the barrel stronger, you can wrap it with electrical tape.
There are 15 - 20 such branches, depending on how high your tree will be. Add 2 green beads to each lower branch to add splendor.
Assembling a Christmas tree from beads
Have you formed the required number of branches? Now we collect the Christmas tree. We take the first branch - the crown, weave another into it, while twisting the wire into the main trunk. We twist the rest of the branches according to this principle.
Installing our craft
When our spruce is ready, we need to place it on a stand.
If you have a toy bucket, fill it halfway with plasticine, install our tree and fill in the remaining space. Or we take the cap from the tube, put a Christmas tree in it and fill it with cement mortar. If desired, the lid can be pasted over with colored adhesive paper.
We have considered the most affordable option, how to weave a Christmas tree from beads.
How to weave a beaded Christmas tree in a spiral
Another beaded Christmas tree has the easiest weaving pattern for beginners - a Christmas tree - a spiral.
Here you need a stiff wire and large beads of green, red, white. The weaving of this tree is very simple, it consists in stringing beads in the sequence that you like. Having fastened the ends, they give the product a conical shape, in the form of a spiral.
Master class of weaving a Christmas tree in a complex technique
More experienced craftswomen can try to weave a lace herringbone. This fake differs from the previous other manufacturing technique.
First, they collect a lot of beads on the wire, like on beads, and only then weave lace patterns from it.
A loop is made of 9-11 beads, twisting the thread 2 times. Further, we make the same loops on both sides. 3-5 loops are enough for the top, and 9-11 loops for the bottom. So we make 5-6 branches of the same length.
Such a Christmas tree made of beads has a very different weaving pattern. The main thing is to repeat the pattern of the same size.

The fourth master class.
Before you start weaving this Christmas tree, you need to prepare all the necessary materials. You will need:
- beads chinese white and green,
- wire that has a diameter: 0.3mm, 1mm, 0.4mm,
- a thread brown color,
- form and solution of plaster,
- acrylic and paint based varnish.
Step by step master class.
The first step is to master the needle weaving technique. It is in this technique that it is worth forming single branches for crafts.
After that, it is worth cutting off the wire in the size of 20 centimeters. Cast on this wire 8 beads of emerald color and one white bead.
You should stick one edge through all the beads. However, you do not need to thread the last thread. As a result, you will have the first needle.
The above manipulations need to be done further. In this case, it is necessary to add and subtract from 9 to 5 beads in needles. You need to do this until the thread of 20 centimeters ends.
And to make a real Christmas tree, you need to make 17 such branches.
In order to receive a gift - a Christmas tree correct shape, it is necessary to make branches, which consist of double and triple needles.
The completed workpiece should be twisted. However, do not twist it completely. Leave a small edge. At the end it is worth attaching one branch and tightening its last part of the needle.
As a result, you will get a double spruce branch.
Thus, it is worth making triple blanks. In total, 20 such blanks will be needed.
Now that all the blanks are ready, you need to go to the assembly new year gift... Usually, christmas tree begin to collect from above. First, a wire with a diameter of 1mm is taken. The top of the head is attached to this piece.
Then 4 short ordinary twigs are attached to this piece. As a result, you will be able to make the primary tier. Continue winding triple and double workpieces.
If you finish doing these works, then you will get a thick spruce base.
Form a barrel and wrap a piece of wire around the barrel.
If you have followed all the steps, then you should pour the base of the product. Remember this will affect the height and stability of the craft. To make a base: dilute water and plaster in equal proportions.
Then you need to insert the craft into the container. In doing so, you must trim off unnecessary details.
Now wait until the solution hardens.
The trunk of the tree must be painted with paints based on acrylic. After that, the barrel must be varnished.
If the product is completely dry, you need to straighten the branches of the craft. The craft will look more beautiful.

We will hold a master class on creating a New Year tree from small beads right now!
Here are some examples of beaded Christmas tree patterns:
DIY master class on creating a Christmas tree from beads
This is one way to make a beginner Christmas tree.
We need the following materials:
- Drill.
- A rod of metal about 0.5 centimeters and 20 in length.
- The base is wooden.
- Nippers or scissors.
- Thin wire.
- Green beads.
Now let's take a closer look at the manufacturing process.
- First you need to create a base. Take a wooden square for this and make a hole there with a drill. Next, we will drive the rod into the hole. The basis for the future tree is ready.
- In the next step, let's start making branches. First, put 5 beads on a piece of wire 20 centimeters in size. Then we pass one end of the wire through four beads, so that the fifth bead is in the loop. This can be seen in the diagram for beginners.
- Divide the wire into two equal ends. Let's do the same on each of them. Pick up five beads and thread the free end through four beads. Let's do this procedure at both ends. It is necessary to twist them a few millimeters. Then we will repeat everything.
- We independently determine the length of the branches. It all depends on your desires. Next, twist the ends of the wire so that there is 1.5 centimeters without beads. Then we attach them to a metal bar. Accordingly, the further from the top of the tree, the longer it is necessary to create branches and vice versa. Than large quantity twigs, the more magnificent the Christmas tree.
General recommendations for making a Christmas tree:
- When choosing beads, you need to pay attention to shining options, because dull beads are not very suitable for this.
- If there is a desire to create a Christmas tree with snow, then it is good to make the first three spines from snow-white beads, and the rest of the branch from green. This Christmas tree will be more elegant.
- You can experiment a little with colors for beautiful variations. You can make a pink, red or blue herringbone.
- You can even make Santa Claus and Snow Maiden using beads. Small toys are not needed here, because the tree is already quite elegant.
Self-created christmas tree can be installed on a table, corner or mantelpiece, in an office, on a dressing table, or on a console, whatnot.
Consider the second version of the Christmas tree with a job description
I always want the tree to delight us at home. It is, of course, difficult to grow conifers in a room, but making a herringbone out of beads is absolutely possible. Therefore, I propose to independently make a Christmas tree according to the scheme for beginners.
Before starting work, you must prepare the following materials:
- Small green beads.
- Green bugles.
- Twelve meter wire.
- Pebbles, christmas decorations from bugles, sand.
Cut two pieces from the wire by a meter, fold them in half and roll up any jointly laid ends.
Insert the four ends through the bead. Now at each end of the wire we will collect five bugles.
Then, at either end of the wire, pick up two bugles and one bead as in the picture above.
When you have made the required number of these branches, fold them together every centimeter. The base of the wire must be reinforced.
- The classic way is to fill the form with alabaster and decorate it with small Christmas tree branches made of beads and bugles.
- The ends of the wires can be attached to the pebble.
- You can use plasticine as a base for crafts.
Another idea for home decoration using the beading technique
To create a Christmas tree, we need brown and green beads, two large beads, and a brown copper wire. This Christmas tree consists of ten tiers. When creating it, we will be guided by the diagram.
- Cut off a piece of wire 45 centimeters long. Put on a golden bead in the center. Pass the two ends of the wire through two beads and a green bead. We string four green beads on both sides of the wire.
- We twist the wire four turns, string the beads according to the pattern on each side and twist the loops.
- We fix the ends with two turns, create also two more loops.
- Take four pieces of wire, 25 centimeters each, twist four branches with three loops on each and wrap the wire three turns.
- For the next third row, take four wires of 30 centimeters each, create five loops in the same way as in the first tier.
- To create the fourth tier, eight wires of 30 centimeters are needed. We twist two branches together.
- From four pieces of wire, 35 centimeters each, create the fifth tier, seven loops on a branch.
- Create the sixth tier in the same way as the fourth. We collect two branches, cutting off another 20 centimeters of the wire. First, we create 12 curls on one branch, then attach the second branch with 15 turns.
- To create the seventh tier, we cut off four wires of 60 centimeters each. We make the first loop in the center of the wire, then string around it, using one end of the wire, six loops. We also make seven eyelets on the second side.
- For the eighth tier, four pieces of wire of 30 centimeters each and four of 60 centimeters are needed. From the long ones we make twigs, as for the seventh tier, on small pieces we string five loops. We attach a small 15 turns to a large branch.
- We also create the ninth tier, but only there should be 18 turns.
- For the 10th tier, take four wires of 70 centimeters each and 4 wires of 35 centimeters. We make nine loops on a large branch and seven on a small one.
- With the help of a wire, we compose all the prepared tiers and wrap it with a spiral.
- Putting the Christmas tree on the supply.
Continuing to talk about different trees beaded, this master class with step-by-step photos and detailed descriptions will teach you how to make wonderful miniature trees from beads and wire with your own hands. New Year is not far off, so we will make a Christmas tree.
1. Fir-tree from the cabin
For the manufacture of do it yourself one beaded Christmas tree You will need:
- green deckhouse - 50 gr.
- brown deckhouse - about 5g.
- wire brown (or copper) about 50m
- alabaster
- colored pebbles (or other decor)
- two beads under pearls
- bugle
- stand
Getting started weave a tree from the top of the head. Cut a wire 45 cm long.In the middle of the wire you need to string bead gold color and group from white glass beads, beads of gold and silver color, 1 bead-cut green color... Pass the other end of the wire through the entire group... On each end of the wire, dial 4 green beads:
After that, you need to twist both ends of the wire together 3-4 turns. At each end of the wire, dial 4 green beads, 2 brown, 4 green, twist into eyelets.
Twist the ends of the wire 2 turns and do the same two more eyeletsas shown in the following photo:
We proceed to manufacturing with with your hands second tier beaded Christmas trees... Cut off 4 pieces of wire 25 cm long.We make 4 of them twigs by three eyelets with a set: 3 green beads, 2 brown, 3 green.
Twist the wire 4-5 turns from eyelet to eyelet, 3 turns from the last eyelet.
Let's make twigs for third tier woven do-it-yourself trees... To do this, out of 4 pieces of wire 30 cm long, we make 4 twigs by 5 eyelets... The first three loops, as on a branch from the second tier, in the next two loops, instead of three green ones, dial 4:
As you understand, you need to weave 4 of these twigsas in the photo above. After that, we harvest the branches for fourth tier beaded Christmas tree. This will require 8 pieces of wire 30cm long. Need to do 8 branches by five eyelets in each:
The first three loops, as can be clearly seen in the photo, are the same as on twig from the second tier, in the next two loops, dial 6 green beads... After the last loop, twist the wire down 4-5 turns. Of these two twigs collect oneby screwing them with a spiral for 3-4 turns:
5 tier: from 4 pieces of wire 35 cm long, make 4 twigs to 7 eyelets... The first three loops, as on a branch from the second tier, in the next four loops, dial only 6 green beads each.
6 tier Christmas tree: we start it in the same way as tier 4 (8 pieces of wire, 8 branches with five loops each) But we collect the branches in pairs a little differently. An extra piece needs to be cut wire length 20 cm. From the last loop, wind 12 turns with a spiral with additional wire. Then screw the second branch on 15 turns with a spiral:
Twigs for 7 tier beaded Christmas trees: cut 4 pieces of wire 60 cm long. Make on middle wire the first loop. Next, cast on 6 more loops, as on the 6th tier, on the same end of the wire so that the other end remains long.
After the last loop, twist 6-7 turns. On another ( long) the end of the wire also make 7 eyelets:
Twist with additional wire twig spiral down 8 revolutions.
8 tier: cut 4 pieces wire 60 cm long and 4 pieces of 30 cm each.Twist twigs from a wire of 60 cm, as for tier 7, from a wire of 30 cm - twigs with five loops:
Collect one of these two branches, screwing them with a spiral. First, put the spiral on twig with two ends - 15 turns, then screw a small branch 15 turns:
9 tier: same as for level 8, only quantity turns of wire increase from 15 to 18.
10 tier: cut 4 pieces of 70 cm wire, 4 pieces 35 cm. Make twigs in the same way as for tiers 8 and 9. Only in big twig cast on 8 and 9 loops, in small - 7. Quantity turns spiral increases to 22.
Now twigs for all tiers of our wood bead ready, you can start wood assembly.
Take additional wire (do not cut off the spool!) and, starting from the top, wind the ends of the wire downwards.
Additional kernel not required, because due to the number of tiers (and branches in each of them), the trunk thickens and does not bend.
Distance between tiers from 0.8 cm (from the top) to 1.2 cm (to the bottom).
After assembly, there is put the tree in the stand... To do this, you need to dilute the alabaster and stick it into it herringbone, wait for the alabaster to dry. Then with transparent glue decorate hardened alabaster ground with colored stones, moss, cotton wool with sparkles, beads.
Here is our resulting green beauty, it even seems that the air is in the air holiday scent of pine needles:
Maybe you want to create do it yourself Not only green herringbonebut also her snow-white girlfriend?
Christmas tree can be made not only from beads or fellingbut also from bugle... Besides, herringbone can and dress up:
Christmas tree made of beads will bring a festive atmosphere even to your workplace on the office table, will decorate your home and serve as an excellent a giftmade with soul do it yourself!
2. Christmas bead
You will need:beads 0/9
h \u003d green - about 42 grams;
w \u003d yellow - 36 pieces;
b \u003d white - about 3 grams;
c \u003d silver - 24 pieces;
cv \u003d beads of luminous colors for jewelry 32x10 pieces;
BB \u003d 0.3mm brown color guide;
BD \u003d 40 cm wire for 1 mm stems.
Scheme:
Work description:
Stars (Figure 1 of the diagram): String 4c (4 silver beads) in the middle of a 60cm piece of brown wire (BB), and thread the wire backwards after 3s, passing the first bead.
String 4s on one end of the wire, move them as close as possible to the first row and thread the wire in the opposite direction after 3s, passing the first (1h) bead. Repeat this procedure until you have 6 rows. Form a star out of them (see figure 2 of the diagram).
Treetop: Work in accordance with Figure 2 of the diagram. Barrel: Thread both ends of the wire together through 8z (8 green beads).
Side branch: At each end of the wire, make two branches as follows: string 5z onto the wire and thread the wire in the opposite direction through 4h, passing one bead (1h).
Barrel: Thread both ends of the wire together through 7h.
Side branches with candles: At each end of the wire, make two branches as follows: string 7h, passing one bead (1h), thread the wire in the opposite direction through 1h.
Candle: string 3b (3 white beads) + 1e (1 yellow bead), skipping one yellow bead (1e), thread the wire in the opposite direction, first through 3b, then through 5h.
Base: Bend the wire for the barrel in half. Wrap the base with both ends of the wire.
Use Basic Technique II to make 64 branches for the Christmas tree. Each branch should have a decoration or candle (in half). Make a candle or decoration after you have made the first "leaf" of the branch with the neck (see the diagram, the place marked with an asterisk.) Before assembling the tree, make all the branches first.
Example: To make 1 branch with 4 "leaves" and decoration: 1: String 5z in the middle of 20 cm BB, twist the ends of the wire together into a "Neck" about 5 mm long
2: For decoration: String 10cv on the wire, slide the beads to the "Neck" itself, form a ring (for this, pass the wire through the first strung bead - 1cv). Twist both ends of the wire a couple of times together.
3: String 5s onto one of the ends of the wire, move them 5 mm away from the first "Neck", bend the wire and twist 5 mm in the direction of the Jewelry made and the first "Neck".
4: Twist both ends of the wire together in a "Rib" about 5mm long.
5: String 5z on the other end of the wire, move them 5 mm away from the "Rib", bend the wire and twist 5 mm in the direction of the "Rib". Repeat step 5 with the other end of the wire.
Craft all branches of the Christmas tree using the following table. Be very specific about this: the uniform appearance of the tree depends on the length of the individual branches:
Build: Pin the branches floor by floor to the base. In this case, the branches corresponding to one letter (line in the table) should be fixed at one level ("floor"):
starting just below the top, wrap the base with brown floral wire (BB) from top to bottom 1.5 cm.
Fasten the branches of group A at the same height around the base with a BB (1.5 cm).
Secure the branches of group B at the same height around the base with a BB (1.5 cm).
Continue until all branch groups are pinned to the base. Under the last set of branches, wrap the base with 2cm brown flower wire (BB).
Secure the finished tree in a small flower pot with clay (ohm).

3. Christmas tree "Fulfillment of desires"
Materials: 150 gr green beads and some gold beads, wire 0.3mm, reinforced threads, hard wire 2mm.
The herringbone consists of a crown and 11 tiers of branches.
The main element of the tree is such a trefoil. Each loop contains 9 beads.
Top of the tree:
Make the following element from gold beads: central loop 4 cm long, side 3 loops with 15 beads each. Twist all the loops.
Rows 1,2,3,4 are the same. Tie 2 shamrocks in each row onto the base with gold loops.
5 row: wind 3 shamrocks.
The tops of each branch (cones) are the same and are made of gold beads. Make 3 loops of 9 beads.
1 and 2 tiers are performed in the same way. Each tier has 3 branches.
Tie 2 rows of shamrocks to the crown (2 shamrocks in each row).
Tiers 3 and 4 are performed in the same way. Each tier has 3 branches.
Tie 3 rows of shamrocks to the crown (2 shamrocks in each row).
5 and 6 tiers are performed in the same way. Each tier has 4 branches.
Tie 4 rows of shamrocks to the crown (2 shamrocks in each row).
7 and 8 tiers are performed in the same way. Each tier has 4 branches.
Tie 5 rows of shamrocks to the crown (2 shamrocks in each row).
9 tier. Complete 6 branches. Tie 6 rows of shamrocks to the crown (2 shamrocks in each row).
10 tier. Complete 5 branches shown in the photo. To do this, first make 10 branches, 4 rows of shamrocks in each. Then connect the twigs in pairs and wind 3 more rows of shamrocks (2 shamrocks in each row).
11 tier. Complete 5 branches shown in the photo. To do this, first make 15 branches, 4 rows of shamrocks in each. Then connect the twigs 2 at a time and wind 1 row of shamrocks, wind another twig and 2 rows of shamrocks (there are 2 shamrocks in each row).
Assembling the tree
Tie the tiers of the Christmas tree to the top of the head one by one. The distance between the tiers is from 1 - 2.5 cm. Use any brown thread; for this tree, reinforced threads were used for sewing in 4 additions.
The distance between the rows of trefoils is 0.5 cm.
The distance from the last row of shamrocks to the tree trunk is 1 cm.
In order for the tree to gradually expand downward in repeating rows (these are 2,4.6.8 rows), increase the distance to the trunk to 1.5 cm.
For a more durable design of the tree (this is mandatory, since the tree is very heavy), insert a strong wire into the trunk at the level of 4 rows. For this tree, 4 strands of wire were used, which were subsequently bent as supports.
Planting a Christmas tree
Plant the tree in a solution of plaster and PVA or tile glue. Decorate the ground.
