Next, string a smaller bead on the free end and also twist it, making a few turns. Do the same with the third bead. You should get three beads on a branch.

Let's move on to the big branches. To create them, you need to cut a wire 25 cm long, make 4 such segments.

Similarly, following the "string and twist" pattern, make large branches. Beads should be 5 pieces each.

Now you need to cut 100 cm of wire and wind it tightly on the tip of the comb in a few turns. Then take it up and string the bead, twist it, pass it through the teeth of the comb from below and bring it up again.

After that, take a twig and, connecting it to the wire on the comb, make a turn through the teeth. It is necessary to alternate large andsmall branches, intertwining one after another.

When reaching the middle of the comb, make a few turns of dragging, winding it. Do the same on the other side until the branches run out.
