i just have a question, i love this project and can definitely see myself making one, but what gauge wire do you use? thanks for the instructable though!

hi i am so glad that u like my tree thanks lots for passing by i used 4 gouge wire in Egypt my home we call it 0.4 it is really good to pass through the bead twice and soft to be wrapped easily

[al_saxophone_2007]

thanks :) i figured it was something pretty light.

[halla]

many thanks for your comment

[al_saxophone_2007]

haha, another question, what kind of beads did you use? are they seed beads or a larger kind? and you are very welcome.

[halla]

your welcome anytime
i used a larger kind
you can use seed beads but you should use
a thinner wire to secure the passing of wire twice in the bead
about 0.2

[halla]

sorry the gauge is 0.2 it is good for making the tree

thanks for sharing I went to the store and got all the stuf fneeded and imideately
got down to making the tree it took me about 4 or 5 hrs the first time . i mounted it on a rock and gifted it to my mom. it has a special place in her living room. the second one i made using red beads and a golden wire mounted it on a lava stone and am very happy with the results. thanks again

Your tree sounds lovey, but HOW did you mount it on a rock?? Epoxy? Screws?
?

[sanyogita]

No i did not stick it or screw it on i made two roots longer than the rest and then used these to hold the tree in place by twisting them underneath the stone the other roots were placed around the rock to give support and to make it look nice. have still no been able to upload the photos of the same

[halla]

your welcome sweetie , i am so glad for your success
say hi to your mom
hope to see your projects

Isn't Gypsum "Plaster of Paris?" I used masking tape to make the roots stick to the bottom of a flower pot, a small can, etc. Then I filled this with stones held together with white glue Invisible when dry! About 2 days!. Works for me!!
But HOW did you get the roots to stick around a ROCK???

[bead_lover_92]

what do you mean by 1,3,5,7?? I'm a little un clear of that m'dear

[halla]

i mean odd number to have center loop and the same number of loops in both side

[halla]

i mean odd number to have center loop and the same number of loops in both side

[nicholee]

This just means use an odd number of loops so that there is a loop at the end where you bend the branch in half

I dont know if I have time to build it, I just think that it would be easier for people to see how it's done.
