Bonsai tree do it yourself very simple. To start pour into the mold the desired amount of beads.
Start to shoot a wire beads. It does not need to be cut off, beaded tape to make a long 50-60 cm.
The scheme of weaving leaves is not complicated. Next, you need to make a leaflet from the tape: count from the edge of 7 beads, move them away and tighten into the loop.
Make such leaves need 8, the distance between them to withstand no more than 1 mm.
Then twist the ends of the wire, and the leaflets bend to the top, and the first twig from beads for the bonsai tree is ready.

Then you need to collect all the branches in the bonsai of beads. It is necessary to take a thick wire and make the frame for the trunk of the future tree. It turns out a construction of 30-35 cm high. In the framework of 4 thick branches.
Attention! Such branches should be no more than four, it is best to take three.
For the twigs kept more reliable, climb them with adhesive plane.
Next, continue to mount the branches to the frame, priming them with the plaster, from the biggest to the small. For convenience, you can fix the tree in a pot with a gypsum.
After the bonsai fastened hard with plaster, we begin to process the barrel with the same solution. Apply it with a thin layer on all branches of the tree.
It is extremely careful to work, so as not to stain beads, as the plaster dries very quickly, and it will be very difficult to clean the branches.
Start painting
Tree trunk and branches to paint brown gouache, paint everything tight. White stain should not remain.
After that, with the help of a thin bruster, we barely apply vertical touches across the tree trunk from beads to give the cradle more realistic look.

The final stage is to decorate the soil in the pot. Here you can give fantasy. You can decorate it as you want your imagination: pebbles, decorative herbs, flowers, ribbons - everything is suitable for decoration as it is impossible.
For even greater shine of the tree and the reliability of the paint layer on the trunk, cover it with a layer of transparent varnish. You can also check the soil in the pot.
