Scallop with twigs
DIY jewelry for hair made of wire and beads will add a little lightness and romance to your look. To create it, prepare:

- a thin wire in the color of a scallop;
- white beads of different sizes.
The first step is to cut off 15 cm of wire. Make 4-5 such segments. String 1 large bead on each piece. Positioning it in the middle of the wire and holding it with your finger, twist the wire clockwise 7 times.
Next, on the free end, string a smaller bead and also twist it, making a few turns. Do the same with the third bead. You should get three beads on a twig.
Let's move on to the big branches. To create them, you need to cut the 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 off 100 cm of wire and tightly wind it at the tip of the comb in several turns. Then take it up and string the bead, twist it, draw it through the teeth of the comb from the bottom and bring it up again.
After that, take a twig and, connecting with the wire on the crest, make a turn through the teeth. It is necessary to alternate large and small branches, weaving one or the other.
Having reached the middle of the ridge, make several turns of the wire, wrapping it. Do the same on the other hand, until the branches run out.
