welcome!

Today I´m going to teach you how to make a bonsai like this one

first we are going to need these tools:

Then we are going to need the copper wire....you can look for them in old motors from damage machines likes this one

After you get the wire copper you have to cut it in 60 copper hairs of 60 cm

these are the proportions of each part of the copper hair:

the red part are going to be the roots of the tree

the Green part is going to be the trunk of the tree

the Blue part are going to be the branches

the gray part are going to be the leaves

Be careful that each hair are the same size

the first thing you have to do is twist the trunk, and divide the roots in 5 equal parts, then split each root in two equal parts!

later start twisting each root of the side that you want, you have to be care of always spliting it in two equal parts

when you finish the roots, they must look like this

later you can start making the branches, the size of the branch will depend on you, take all the copper hair that you want for that branch and twist it....... here is my first branch

the second one

the third one

I decided to do 4 branches here there are....each color are a branch

on this part you can aply the same rule that the roots, split the branch in 2 equaly parts a twist each one.....when you get the size that you want split it again in two parts

look that when I get the size that I want (look at the red circle) I split and twist....when I get de size that I want (look at the blue circles) I split again

finally when you get to the hair you must stop twisting, on this part whe are going to start making the leaves.....this branch gave me 4 leaves

on this part take the tip of the hair and twist it with the special pliers

then take 5 mm distance from the circle you just made and twist it again with the same movement you just did.....like this

repeat until all the hair is circled.....when you finish, it must look like this.......a straight side and a circled side

then take the tip of the leaf again and start twisting it on the circle side like this

when you finish smash the leaf like this

and finally you have you first leaf

repeat the process and you will finish the complete bonsai tree

I will show you all the process till I finished

bend the leaves with the form that you like.....and FINALLY you bonsai its done!!!
