RAD Creative Art, is your channel to learn, or improve your art and crafts skills. Beginner or expert, I specialize in wire art sculptures. I'll show you different tips and tricks I've learned over the last 30 years. Making mistakes is the best part of creating. It’s how we learn to create unique art! To start, I’ll demonstrate the basic fundamentals of wire wrapping. Then create a wire bonsai tree sculpture, with or without gemstones or beads. How to choose the right wire, matching your beads or gemstones, and adding it to the perfect base with accents. I’ll have fun craft tutorials on seashell art, holiday décor and ornaments, decoupage crafts, easy woodworking, and so much more! My live streaming will start soon, and I'm really looking forward to growing this channel with you and making some amazing works of art! Consider Subscribing to view all future tutorials!
I am watching from Australia Thank you for your video,I am new to wire tree making,Absolutely beautiful tree with the chain beads,Can hardly wait to give it a try,I have not seen the chain beads any where ,But they must be available somewhere in Australia,Thank again for taking the time to show us newbies step by step,
Thank you so much! On that demonstration for the wire branches I believe they were your standard 6 mm seed beads. They come in a large tube and they could be purchased at Michaels crafts or Hobby lobby. I hope this helps answer your question.
love it but got a few questions.... did you put modge podge over the napkin once you heat set it into the tray? did you use all of the resin in those 2 bottle? meaning 4ounces of each bottle for the tray? the deco on sides of tray is that a stencil? where did you get the feet hobby lobby?
The video shows not to put any Modge Podge or other varnish if adding resin. Only if you choose to not use resin. Only use half of each bottle, you only want the resin to cover the napkin and edges of the wood. The video shows this part at the end. 👍🏻😊
I'm so embarrassed, I'm new at this and I couldn't follow at all. Tried twice and messed up both times. I did do several others that turned out really nice. Thank you for all the time and work you put into these tutorials. Your amazing!
Robin, thank you for this comment! There is no need to feel embarrassed about trying. This is all for fun, and from what you said you made other ones that were awesome!! Im proud of your effort and love for this art! 👍🏻🤗
I have made 2 Tree of Life Sun Catchers using your video tutorial. They turned out great! Your instructions were easy to follow. The supply list and links were very helpful! Thank you
This makes me extremely happy!!! Thank you for this comment, I will always do my best to make everything as easy for my viewers as I can without rushing. Step by step is the way everyone benefits! You’re🤗☯️☮️ an angel and thank you again!
I don’t see why not, but make sure you clean the glass with alcohol first. And that the seams of the design are firmly in place to prevent the paste from seeping under it.
You absolutly coverd all the eareas i fellt insucure about. I am so happy with this and i hope this will help me grow. I will send you pictures from my finished peases thank you so much❤❤❤
Firts i really want to thank you so much for all of you're tutorials. They are great and i learnd a lot from you❤ now my question: the tree making part is not the tricky part for me. I am used too work with wire because i make wirewrapped jewelry for a business. The tricky part for me is the base. It is not the attaching part of the tree but too make a whole nice 'picture' like what too put on there and what too attached first. I want too ask you for some tutorials of that. If it's not too much trouble for you. I just not used too crafting besides wirewrapped pendants and other jewelry. ❤❤
Hi Peggy! I never considered doing a tutorial on the decorating of the base before, and you not the first to ask, but I can promise you the last. It is part of “crafting”, and having an eye for what a miniature landscape would look like and what to use. So when I up load the tree I’m finishing at the moment, that will follow immediately after. Thank you so much for this comment 🤗👍🏻
I also wanted to add, you always place and secure the tree to the base before any decorations go on. Its just easier to see how your landscape will look around it. ☺️
@@RADCreativeArt oooh thank you so much i can't wait too watch. I just feel so insecure and it would be so sad if i ruind my cute little trees just because i am not using the right decorations or do it the wrong way. I was completly forgot how it feels too storting something whole new. I make jewelry for some time now. I cannot thank you enough for it. Sending lots of love 🥰
All the beads should be in the description with the link to purchase. You can get everything at Michaels Crafts, Hobby Lobby, & Amazon Thank you so much for your interest and for watching 🤗🫶🏻
I just clipped off some tiny fake leaves from some artificial plants, and yes I also used sand. Everything is placed with the Gorilla Glue. You can use any clear drying glue
Your trees are all so beautiful and wonderful ideas for bases. I have so many ideas. Now everytime Im in the store Im now looking at everything as a possible base for a tree. Lol.
You really can’t. Its extremely hard to get through and I personally use a small Dremel, using a drop of water as I go, the shell must be wet, and a mask and safety glass worn. Shell dust is damaging to breathe in. Also always put holes before you decoupage. 👍🏻
Hola no entiendo de cuántos cm o pulgadas son porque yo soy de chile y me gustó su trabajo lo encontré hermoso me encanta estás manualidades espero su respuesta
No hay una duración establecida para este video. Esto es sólo para mostrarle cómo crear más plenitud para sus árboles. Cómo agregar cuentas. Para ver el tutorial completo, tendrías que ver uno en la lista de reproducción de Wire Art. Espero que esto ayude ☺️
This is so beautiful. I have a question. If I was to make this and wanted to mail it, how would I go about packaging it up so everything didn't get crushed. Is it possible? Thank you.
Of course it is, I just mailed 4 of them to Florida in the same box! 😳 First take a photo so you can send it to the recipient if needed when it arrives so they can reshape. (They shouldn’t need to). Get a thick double sided tape so secure it on the bottom of your box. Then lightly place gift tissue paper around the top and sides . If theres room, place packing peanuts all around it, and seal your box. That should do it! ☺️
Do it exactly as I show on the video, if this makes it much easier process it’s done before and you may possibly have to file a little bit off after just with everything step-by-step and you can’t go wrong
Hi, forgive me for taking so long to answer. Yes the oven should be preheated to 175 and 10 minutes is long enough to stay in there no longer thanks for your question.
It was very easy to make this tree due to your expert tutorial. My tree seems a little bare altho I used the 4mm beads and followed your directions. What can I do to make the tree look more full? Maybe use a larger bead size?
Hi Margaret! Yeah, this tree was basically for beginners, and it is pretty simple, you can move up to the 6mm beads, and also make 10 to 15 more strands. Remember the rule of thumb is when adding more/larger beads, add extra 5-6 inches to the wire length. Let me know how you make out 🤗👍🏻
Absolutely! Resin is dangerous overtime to use unprotected. Always wear a mask, gloves are a must, and if possible mix it near ventilated area. Thank you so much for the compliment. I’m working on a new one right now.
This was really pretty I hope you don’t mind me telling you this when opening jump rings Open it sideways then when you bring it back the ends will be together
Thank you so much and this was mentioned to me already about the rings last year. But thank you I love any help I can get, thats how we all learn from each other. ❤️🤗
I have a question. I want to put a little bonsai tree inside of an animal shaped stone planter. What do I put in the hole of the planter to make sure the tree is embedded? I saw a pic of an elephant planter with a bonsai tree on your site. How did you form the base so that the tree would stay put?
Hi Margaret! What I do is I’ll purchase a bag of natural stone pebbles at the craft or dollar store, and put my Gorilla Cleargrip Glue inside the base first, then put the pebbles (or sand) on top to dry. Afterwards, you just place the roots on the base and rubberband the roots in place. Then place your glue on the roots until dry. This process can be seen at the end of most of my tutorials. Let me know how your tree comes out! 🤗
