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

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

halla (author) in reply to al_saxophone_2007Sep 12, 2010. 12:36 AM

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

thanks lots for passing by
i attach wire to each root end and tie
the wires around a rock
them make a base with gypsum and glue
or
i put the tree in a dish or a bowel or vase
and put gypsum paste around the roots

this tree is epic im gonna make a fall version

folklife says: May 18, 2012. 2:19 PM

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???

halla (author) in reply to folklifeJun 19, 2012. 1:53 AM

that is a good idea
i used stones or beads to make it looks like
a ground around 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

folklife in reply to sanyogitaMay 18, 2012. 2:13 PM

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

sanyogita in reply to folklifeMay 22, 2012. 11:54 PM

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

nicholee in reply to bead_lover_92Dec 30, 2010. 10:33 AM

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
