Beaded apple tree: weaving a tree with juicy fruits (video)
Trees created using beadwork delight the eye and decorate any interior. Compositions created with your own hands are especially delightful. You can make quite interesting trees that will be a wonderful decoration for any interior. A representative of such handmade work will be a delicate blooming apple tree made of beads. A simple master class will allow even beginners to create unique decorative elements. 
Master class on apple tree beading
A beautiful tree with a lush crown, ripe apples or blooming flowers looks simply amazing. Making such a tree is quite easy using simple video lessons or the step-by-step work described below. For beginners, the proposed beadwork will not be difficult. The main thing is to follow the step-by-step instructions.
The main stage of weaving
We put five beads on one selected segment. We twist the beads into a loop measuring five to seven centimeters from the end of the wire, Figure 1;
In this method of beading trees, you need to use a stiffer small rod, which will become the basis for all the twisted branches. If there is no such ready-made metal rod, then you can make it from a simple pencil or any wooden stick.
Bunches of twigs are wound around a base or rod. To make the trunk look neater, it is wrapped with special corrugated paper or tape for floristry. 
Weaving according to this pattern will allow you to create a blooming apple tree, if you use, in addition to green beads, various pink shades and inclusions of white beads to create an apple tree color.
To create a tree with fruits, the following weaving pattern is suitable:
- two or three beads are placed on the wire and the apple bead, retreating from the edge by five to six centimeters. The remaining long tail returns back through the bead;
- the wire is tightened, and continuing to form coils around the axis, we get the first inflorescence with an apple;
- ten to eleven more beads are added to the long end. They are fastened into a loop closer to the bead - an apple;
- All the time, beading occurs on a long part of the wire. This process of creating an inflorescence with an apple is repeated. Weaving alternates with leaves;
- Make branches with leaves separately, separately with apples. Then everything is twisted into small bundles, and then placed on the main rod.
This weaving scheme provides that at the end of the whole work the tree will be “planted” in a special pot. This could be a specially created pot with decorative stones, or a tree core will be poured into plaster, another decorative material for various crafts. 
An apple tree made of beads will look great in any decorative pot, as in the photo, which is easy to create using your imagination and a simple master class. For beginners, mastering this beading technique will not be difficult. The main thing is to show desire and a little creative thinking.

Made from beads, they are in great demand. These artistic compositions act as amazing interior decorations. They ennoble any home, and also, according to popular belief, bring good luck and joy to their owners.
In this article we will tell you in detail how to make a delicate and graceful apple tree from beads. It’s not difficult to make such a blooming miracle; you just need to devote enough time to this activity. An apple tree made of beads with a lush, strewn crown looks simply amazing. Be sure to try to create a similar decorative tree. It will delight the eye with its enchanting beauty and create a special coziness in your home.
What will you need to complete the craft?
In order to make a beaded apple tree, you need to prepare some materials and tools. Of course, you will need beads of several colors (including green (50 g), white (40 g), pink (10) shades). We advise you to purchase Japanese or Cheap Chinese and Taiwanese glass beads; you should not use them - they are not of high quality. In addition to beads, you will need two types with a thickness of 0.4 mm (for the branches) and 1 mm (for the trunk). To decorate the tree you will need thick woolen threads, building plaster, a wide pot with low sides and decorative stones. Once all the necessary materials have been prepared, you can begin making the product.
Apple tree made of beads: master class. Let's start work
Our tree will be dotted with small delicate flowers. Let's start making a craft like a beaded apple tree by weaving white and pink inflorescences. We take a piece of thin wire about 40 cm long. We string five white beads, move them to the center, and make a loop. We get the first petal. Using the same principle, we make three more petals at the free ends of the working wire. From three pink beads we make the center of the flower. Twist the remaining ends of the wire well. The first flower is ready. Using the same principle, it is necessary to make another 90 similar buds (three for each branch). We need such a large number of inflorescences to create a beautiful lush crown.
Making apple tree branches
After making all the flowers, you can start making the leaves. To do this we will use the circular weaving technique. We take a thin wire and cut a piece about 65 cm long from it. How is an apple tree made from beads? The scheme is as follows: string seven green beads onto a wire. Then we form a loop and collect sixteen more beads. Now we pass the working wire around the first small loop. You get the first leaf. Now we make another exactly the same leaf on one of the ends of the working wire.
Twist the ends of the wire several times. We take a white flower and carefully screw it to the workpiece. We weave two more leaves on the wire (by analogy with the first). Attach the second bud. We create two more leaves and attach a third flower. So, the very first branch of our apple tree is ready. In order for the tree to look lush and rich, twenty-nine more such blanks will be needed.
Let's start assembly
After designing all the branches, we begin assembling the parts. We take three blanks and fasten their ends together, and then screw in a thick wire. We fix the resulting branch with a thick brown wool thread. It will not only securely hold the parts together, but will also give the workpiece additional volume. By analogy, we fasten all the other branches. We form the resulting ten blanks into several large branches, and then decorate them with thick thread.
Apple tree trunk design
After making large branches, you can assemble them into a single whole, also fixing them with thick wire and thread on top. When creating a trunk, remember that your main task is to create a harmonious and as realistic image as possible. Branches should flow smoothly away from the trunk and not bend at unnatural or right angles. Their span should be approximately equal to half the height of the tree. After making the trunk, we decorate it with brown floral ribbon. We design the branches in the same way. That's all, the blooming beaded apple tree is almost ready.
All that remains is to place it in a pot and decorate the finished item with elements. We make a gypsum solution. Place the trunk of the apple tree in the prepared container and fill it with alabaster.
We advise you to install the tree as level as possible in the pot. A strong roll can make the thing unstable and, of course, significantly worsen its appearance. Now we leave the tree to dry. When the plaster has set, cover it with glass pebbles or sea pebbles. That's all, our amazing craft is ready. Now you know how to create an apple tree from beads. We hope you found the master class on making this charming tree useful. Success in creative work!
A hand-made beaded apple tree evokes extraordinary delight among those around you, just like beadwork of cherries and citrus fruits. Such decorations perfectly complement the interior of any room and create warm comfort.
Today's master class will teach all the basics to beginning needlewomen and craftswomen of amazing trees - juicy apple trees, ripe cherries and fragrant citrus creations. A detailed description of each individual element will help you create a craft. similar to each other in weaving and trunk structure.
Juicy apple tree
It is popular to weave fruit plants with decorative berries. This creates the impression of naturalness, looks interesting and unusual. The technique and assembly are very simple.
Preparatory stage
Try to stock up on the necessary materials and enough time in advance to make such a beautiful craft:
- green beads
- decorative sprigs of berries for creativity or large red beads
- wire 0.3 mm
- thickened wire for branches
- brown floral ribbon
- paints
- PVA glue
- acrylic lacquer
- matches
- rope
- oval stand
Step-by-step production
| Immediately string about 80 cm of beads onto the wire from the spool. Leave a small tip, about 5 cm, and start weaving from there. A loop is made from nine pieces and twisted three times. Then the outer looped turn completes the creation of the petal, twisting it about eight times. |   |
| Stepping back 1 cm from the stem, we make the second leaf in a similar way. Thus, you need to weave five leaves step by step. Grab the remaining tail while twisting the stem. The result is a branch like this (see photo) |   |
| Next, we don’t cut off anything, we will continue to make an identical one on the same segment, since we have strung a sufficient amount of green. Step back from the twisted stem about 4 cm and above, using the described method, weave the same small one, with five leaves. |  |
| It is necessary to fasten two woven branches together, and place a berry between them. We twist the stem to the end of the shoots, straightening the leaves beautifully. |   |
| Cut pieces of floral tape up to 20 cm, and a thickened wire (this can be a cable) - about 30 cm. It is necessary to wrap each element with tape, connecting it to the rod. |   |
| So, you should get 25 pieces with fruits. |  |
2. We connect the remaining ones in twos, and immediately fasten them with tape to the main trunk, going down and carefully straightening them. At the end, we separate the shoots to the sides for stability.
Design and ideas for a beautiful stand
The stand can be used in different ways. There is no clarity here, since everyone’s fantasy is absolutely individual. Examples of tree stand ideas:
- Wooden base of any shape.
- Plastic lid with sides.
- You can make your own base from gypsum mortar. To do this, any container (it can be a lid from under shoes or other products, a plastic lid) needs to be covered with plastic film and filled with a solution, and after complete hardening, the stand is removed from the film.
- Place a larger mixture of plaster into a mold and insert and press, for example, a glass into the middle. Wait until it dries so that you can easily remove the plaster structure and the glass from the mold. And the place where the dent formed will serve for landing.
Planting in the garden
- In a separate container, dilute the plaster with some water, adding a little PVA glue. On an oval stand, spread a small amount of the mixture halfway along the edge and insert matches, as shown in the photo below.
2. Carefully and slowly pull the rope with a snake between the matches, forming a fence.
3. Spread the rest of the mixture onto the bottom of the stand and plant the apple tree, masking the roots with the mixture. Once the tree is in place, paint the trunk with brown gouache if desired, and then coat with acrylic varnish.
4. For beauty, you can make a decorative ladder and attach it to a plant, that is, simulate a rustic apple tree in the garden.
5. Use green paint to imitate grass and sprinkle with beads. We decorate it with a mini-box with fruits nearby. The work is completed, you probably have a blooming apple tree that will undoubtedly create home comfort and home interior.
A beautiful apple tree with a ladder can look very sweet and beautiful with green fruits.
If you are interested in fruit weaving, then move on to cherries.
Cherry beads
Ripe cherries imply juicy, red shades of the fruit. To do this, you will need the same materials as in the previous master class on making an apple tree, except for decorative elements for decoration. And only instead of artificial apples you need to buy large red beads.
Cherry weaving patterns
Ripe cherry
Leaves can be woven using the double loop technique with the addition of red beads and simple loops reminiscent of leaves. It is necessary to weave about 70 branches. In the first version, double weaving occurs similarly to the previous master class, but do not press the outer loop too tightly against the inner one, but is formed in a looser shape.
1. We string 6 green glass beads onto a length of 80 cm, lower them to the center, form a loop and twist them in pairs of turns. Using the second outer loop we create a leaf of eighteen beads, while twisting the leg up to nine times.
2. Weave three petals, you need to string a red bead on both ends and twist each berry well to get the fruits of cherries on twigs.
3. We add four leaves and three cherries. 7 blanks required
The second option is a simple loop method. The branch should consist of nine or eleven loops, and scarlet beads are woven between them and form a long twist. The more pieces you braid, the more magnificent the cherry will turn out.
Overview of assembly diagrams
After you assemble the tree according to the previous master class, you need to plant and paint the trunk. Pebbles or decorative moss can serve as decoration for the pot. This is what a wonderful ripe cherry looks like.

Stage of assembly and product formation
To the thickened section at the top you need to attach three without “oranges” and start tying them with threads, gradually adding branches with fruits and so on. Arrange the clusters equally on 6 pieces of wire, leaving ten pieces, without bright beads, for the top of the main stem.
Now we alternately apply the bundle to the trunk around the top, tying it with yarn. This is how we secure them.
The formed beautiful craft is ready for planting. You can decorate it in a pot with plaster and decorate it with decorative elements. As you can see from the lesson, there is nothing complicated if you follow the instructions.
A wonderful orange tree can decorate any corner of your home.
The French way of creating petals
This type of citrus tree becomes more interesting and unusual. You just need to spend a little more time on everything, be diligent and attentive. The rest of the assembly technology and barrel formation is similar to all previous master classes.
Let us consider in detail the production of leaves using the French technique.
 |
For the axis, we take a wire about 10 cm long with a diameter of 0.4 - 0.5 mm and in the middle of the working one, the length of which is 60 cm, we make two turns - a fastener for the petal. |
 |
We string 12 beads onto the axis and make a small loop on top so that the beads do not fall out, and on the bottom we collect enough beads to make arcs of a pointed petal in several turns. |
 |
We bend it at an angle of 45 degrees and fix it with one turn along the top of the axial one. |
 |
Next, we lower the beads down, making a parallel and also twisting, but at an angle of 90 degrees to the axis. This way the petal will be round at the bottom. |
 |
We continue weaving arcs around the axis, tightly adjacent to each other. Such circular turns need to be made in three more rows. At the end of the work, we cut off the top of the axial wire with wire cutters, leaving a 0.4 mm tail to fix the petal with a neat fold on the wrong side, then the leaf will not cling to anything. At the end of the last arc, we twist the leg to end. We have a pointed petal. |
Thus, you need to weave from 60 to 70 leaves. Then we create one branch from the petals, attaching a wire with a bead between them. Next, we form a voluminous bunch by connecting.
Orange bunches should look like this, and when they are combined into one trunk, they should look like a tree.

An apple tree made of beads can become a magnificent decoration for your home, because every time you look at it, you will remember with a smile warm spring days, a light, almost imperceptible breath of wind and bright sun rays warming the earth after the winter cold and cold. Most people primarily associate this amazing tree with spring and, probably, every person has a picture of a beautiful blooming apple tree or bright apple tree in their memory.
Before starting our small master class, we need to prepare all the materials and tools for work:
- acrylic lacquer
- acrylic paint
- flexible but rather thick wire
- thin silver wire
- thread or brown yarn
- beads: light green, yellow, white and pink.
Let's start creating a blooming apple tree from beads.
First you will need to string about 30 cm of light green beads onto the wire. For beginners, we can recommend using a spinner, as it will help you complete this task faster.
Then you need to separate 7 beads from the resulting chain and, stepping back from the tip of the wire about 6 cm, bend your “working thread” so that there is only 1 bead on the bend.
After this, you need to secure this bead by twisting the wire once.
Moving the remaining beads close to the “top”, you will need to make two turns.
Now you will have to use the circular weaving technique, the scheme of which is that we need to gradually move the required number of beads to form a tight turn, as with French weaving.
And in the photo the finished leaf looks like this:
After twisting the wire, you will need to step back about 4 cm and make another leaf. In this case, the weaving pattern will remain the same. Then you need to make exactly the same leaf in the middle. And then you will continue weaving the leaves on the other side.
In order for your tree to be thick, you will need to weave about 60 of these branches.
Now our master class will tell you how to make flowers for an apple tree. First, you need to string beads onto the wire in the following sequence: thirty white beads, five yellow, thirty white, five yellow, thirty white, five yellow and eighteen pink.
Then you will need to make 3 loops of pink beads, so that their base is at the same point.
After this, you will need to twist the wire about 1 cm and make a loop of 5 yellow beads.
Then you will need to weave 5 loops consisting of 6 white beads.
Next, you need to form a flower so that the yellow loop is in the center.
Having done this, you will again have to twist the wire and then weave two more such inflorescences.
Now you need to screw an inflorescence to each branch.
Then you will have to weave several large branches consisting of 3-5 such small branches. They will need to be attached to thick wire and wrapped with thread.
Next we need to cover the tree trunk with plaster and make a stable base for it.
It is worth noting that you can create a base of any shape with your own hands. For example, you can take a shallow bowl and cover it with cellophane and pour the plaster solution into it. In addition, you can make a small depression in the plaster under the pond.
Once the wood and its base are completely dry, you can cover them with acrylic paint. Look what a wonderful beaded apple tree we have made:
In order to master such a fascinating science as beading, you can also watch a short video that will help you weave an apple tree.
Weaving trees from beads is gaining more and more popularity. There are many diagrams and descriptions appearing on the Internet on how to create such beauty. We will also try to tell you how to make a beautiful apple tree from beads with your own hands using a step-by-step master class with a diagram and photo.
Tools and materials Time: 12 hours Difficulty: 8/10
- beads No. 8 mother-of-pearl green;
- beads with a diameter of 8 mm, peach color;
- thin copper wire;
- metal rod;
- floral tape;
- decorative stones;
- flower pot;
- gypsum;
- pliers and wire cutters.
Step-by-step weaving instructions
To make the apple tree look as much like a real tree as possible, it is very important to choose the right color scheme of beads.
Step 1: cut the wire
First you need to cut a lot of pieces of wire. The length of each piece is about 25 cm.
Step 2: making leaves
Now we string 5 beads onto the wire and twist them into a loop at a distance of about 5-7 cm from the end of the wire (Fig. 1). Having retreated 0.8-1 cm, we make another similar loop. Having made 3-4 loops, replace them with a loop with one bead. In this way we make several loops (necessarily an odd number), leaving a free end of the wire 5-7 cm long.
Step 3: collecting branches
Next, bend the wire on the central loop and twist its ends together. One branch of the future apple tree is ready. Now we need to make about 100 of these branches - it is with this quantity that the beaded tree will look quite magnificent.
Step 4: Twist the branches into bundles
When the branches are ready, we begin assembly. By twisting the branches together, it is necessary to form bundles of 10-12 branches.
Step 5: Making the Base
Next, we collect the resulting bundles near the solid base. The solid base is ideally a rigid rod - a special metal stick for producing stems in beadwork or used for making artificial flowers. In the absence of such a stick, we advise you to use improvised means - you can take a wooden kebab skewer, you can use a pencil, in general, anything that comes to hand. By securing the resulting bundles of branches by winding, we form the very shape of the tree.
To make the tree trunk look natural, we wrap it with floral tape (adhesive, slightly corrugated paper in the form of a tape).
Step 6: fill with plaster
After this, it comes to planting the bead tree. Using plaster, secure the tree in a mold or flower pot, and then decorate it with any decorative stones.
We hope our master class and weaving pattern helped you and you got your own unique beaded apple tree, made by yourself, which now decorates your cozy home.
