The New Year is approaching, and more and more you want to decorate everything around you with something truly festive and unusual. How to decorate your workplace? After all, in most cases you can’t place something bulky in the workplace like you can at home. In this case, you can make a Christmas tree from beads yourself. It will be a wonderful reminder of the upcoming holidays.

To make this souvenir you will need:
- beads of green or white color (you can use another color if you want to make an unusual craft) 25-30 grams;
- scattered colored beads (it will imitate toys on the Christmas tree);
- one piece each of silver or white bugles and a bead slightly larger than the main bead;
- thin wire;
- stand for the Christmas tree.

First you need to make the top of the tree. To do this, cut a piece of wire approximately 25-30 cm long and string one bright colored bead onto it. Then both ends of the wire are threaded in the following sequence: glass bead, bead, bead of the main color. After this, four beads of the main color are strung on each end of the wire.
Next, both ends are simultaneously pushed through two beads of the main color. After this, beads are strung on each “mustache” of wire: 4 main, 1 colored, 4 main. Everything is secured by twisting the ends of the wire three to four turns. As a result, there will be two such “rings” at each end of the wire.

Next, branches are made. They should be done according to the following scheme.

There are four of these branches.

Then more “fluffy” branches are made. They are created according to the following scheme.

There should be four of them on each tier.

The number of tiers in the Christmas tree depends on how tall it is planned to be.
Starting from the fifth or sixth tier (if the tree is tall), two legs are added to each branch.
The branches are attached to the base using the same wire.
