The pictorials are illustrated with spaces between beads for a clearer direction, in the actual beading, there should be no spaces.

Beaded Christmas Tree :
What you need:
1) Glass seed beads, 3 different sizes
(0.8mm, 0.9mm, 0.10mm or size 11/0, 10/0, 9/0)

|
| Step 1: |
Start with the very bottom layer of the tree using the biggest size bead - 0.10mm beads.
- Cut a piece of beading wire around half meter long.
- Add six beads at the middle of the string and crisscross the other end of the string through the last bead added - shown where both arrows are coming out from.
|
|
 |
| Step 2: |
- Continue to:
Add three beads on the left (black) string, crisscross the right (red) string through the last bead added.
Continue to pass the black string (the one you just used to added new beads on) through one old bead from step 1 marked with
A.
|
|
|
| Step 3: |
- Continue to:
Add two beads on the bottom (red) string and crisscross the other end of the string through the last bead added.
Continue to pass the red string (the one you just used to added new beads on) through one old bead from step 1 marked with A.
|
|
 |
| Step 4: |
- Continue to:
Add two beads on the right (black) string, crisscross the left (red) string through the last bead added.
Continue to pass the black string (the one you just used to added new beads on) through one old bead from step 1 marked with
A.
|
|
 |
| Step 5: |
- Continue to:
Add two beads on the right (red) string and crisscross the other end of the string through the last bead added.
Continue to pass the red string (the one you just used to added new beads on) through one old bead from step 1 marked with A.
|
|
 |
| Step 6: |
- Continue to:
Add two beads on the top (black) string, crisscross the bottom (red) string through the last bead added.
Continue to pass the black string (the one you just used to added new beads on) through two old beads from step 1 and 2 marked with A and B.
|
|
 |
| Step 7: |
- Continue to:
Add one bead to crisscross both strings through - shown where both arrows are coming out from.
|
|
 |
| Step 8: |
- Continue to:
Add three beads on the left (black) string, crisscross the right (red) string through the last bead added.
Continue to pass the black string (the one you just used to added new beads on) through one old bead from step 2 marked with
A.
|
|
 |
| Step 9: |
- Continue to:
Add two beads on the left (red) string and crisscross the other end of the string through the last bead added.
Continue to pass the red string (the one you just used to added new beads on) through one old bead from step 3 marked with A.
|
|
 |
| Step 10: |
- Continue to:
Add two beads on the bottom (black) string, crisscross the top (red) string through the last bead added.
Continue to pass the black string (the one you just used to added new beads on) through one old bead from step 4 marked with
A.
|
|
 |
| Step 11: |
- Continue to:
Add two beads on the bottom (red) string and crisscross the other end of the string through the last bead added.
Continue to pass the red string (the one you just used to added new beads on) through one old bead from step 5 marked with A.
|
|
 |
| Step 12: |
- Continue to:
Add two beads on the right (black) string, crisscross the left (red) string through the last bead added.
Continue to pass the black string (the one you just used to added new beads on) through two old beads from step 6 and 7 marked with A and B.
|
|
 |
| Step 13: |
- Continue to:
Add one bead to crisscross both strings through - shown where both arrows are coming out from.
|
|
 |
| Step 14: |
- Continue to:
(using only one end of the string) Add four beads on one side of the string, loop the same string back through the first bead added on this step.
Continue to pass the same string through the bead marked A from step 12.
|
|
 |
| Step 15: |
- Continue to:
Repeat step 14 five more times, until the black string meets up with the red string, tie a dead knot and pass the remaining string back through the piece for a more secure piece.
- Repeat step 1 to step 15 with the medium size (0.9mm) beads and make one more cone that will make up the middle section of the Christmas Tree.
