Bead Cherries

Everyone loves to receive gifts. In the market you can choose whatever you like, but you will not find such a gift anywhere. To make such a souvenir is not at all difficult, a little patience and effort - and you're done!

Take beads of red color, green, light green, fishing line for beads, a needle, a wire of different diameters and two beads. For the base, instead of beads, you can make balls of papier-mâché. Tear the newspaper into small pieces, put it in a bowl, add warm water and roll two balls from the resulting mass. Let them dry. If there is red acrylic paint or nail polish, paint "future cherries."

To make a berry, we take a needle with a fishing line, fix the bead on the fishing line with two knots and string as many red beads as the distance from one hole of the bead to the other. The main thing is to choose the exact amount of beads so that the cherry turns out smooth, without corners. Pass the needle through the hole and string the same amount of beads again. And so until the whole bead is closed with beads.

Then we take a piece of wire and string the resulting cherry, bend it halfway and pick up light green beads. Next, twist the two ends of the wire. In the same way we make the second cherry.

For the leaflet, you will need a thinner wire and green beads. We take a piece of wire and fold it several times - this is the center line of the leaf. On the remaining end of the wire, we collect the beads and begin to "wrap" (see photo). On one side of the leaf, cut the wire, leaving 1.5 cm, and bend.

OK it's all over Now. It remains only to collect all the details. To do this, we make the ends of the wire cherries, leaflet and the remnants of the wire from cherries wrap these three components. We tie a ribbon and look for the lucky one who will receive such an unusual gift.
