Christmas tree top
We will start weaving the Christmas tree from the top. We take a wire 50 cm long, collect 1 bead and 1 white bead (a bead can be replaced with 3 beads). We place everything in the middle. The bead will be the top of the tree, but if you want, instead of a bead, you can make a star.
Holding the white bead with your hand, take the end of the wire and pass it through the bead (or 3 beads) in the opposite direction. Tighten well.
Next, we collect 4 green beads on the right and left ends of the wires.
Putting both ends together, string 1 bead on top. We move the ends apart so that the bead linen is pressed against the previous ones.
Now you need to put beads on the wire on either side in this order: 5 green, 3 white, 4 green.
Afterwards, the same end of the wire needs to be passed back through the first bead, moved close to the top, and tightened well.
Next, on the other side of the wire, you need to collect beads in this order: 5 green, 3 white, 4 green.
Then we pass the same wire in the opposite direction through the first bead and tighten it until it is pulled out to the end.
Then, following the same pattern, you need to make one more loop exactly like this on each side. When finished, twist the ends together.
Now we need to form the top of our Christmas tree. To do this, take the central loop and bend it so that it fits in the middle of the loops.
