To moisten such a tree, you need to take:
- Czech or Chinese beads number 4 (orange color)
- wire with a diameter of 1 mm
- Gypsum 300 gr
- Glue
- scissors, tassels, paints
We start work with the execution of tree branches
To do this, we shave the wire with a cut of 20 cm. Take 1 bead as shown in the photo below, we twist the wire. In one twig I had three small, but during the work you can add or decrease the amount!
When the twigs are completely ready for all wood, we will deal with the wood framework!
To do this, take plaster of 100 grams diluted with water and knead
In advance of the prepared base, we cover the package in the center of the wood frame and fix everything with plaster! See the photo below!
When the base was frozen begin to attach all our twigs to the frame at the same time form a beautiful tree crown! To form a tree should be immediately attached to attach a thought, since after the coating of the tree with plaster, form the branches will not work. Gypsum can crack.
When everyone already did, we do for a tree trunk, we stir the remaining 200 grams of gypsum and we appline a brush to the frame twisted from the wire thereby forming a tree trunk.
Then cover the branches and trunk of the acrylic paint tree (you can take a gouache + PVA). I am paint light brown. Also paint the stand if it is from the gypsum. We give paint to dry. Decorating the stand beaded by putting it on the glue and the tree is ready!
