Beautiful beaded flowers

One by one, the colourful beads turn into little charming flowers. Anna carefully assembles and shapes the individual petals until each flower bursts out in bloom. "The process is almost as calming as the result is joyful," she smiles.

1

Cut a piece of metal wire at a length of approximately 30 cm, and apply three light blue beads, followed by 13 dark blue beads and then three light blue beads. Gather the beads into a noose and wrap the end with a twist so it looks like a flower petal. Continue the same approach until you have seven petals.

2

Now, apply five yellow beads to the metal wire and lead the wire back through the row of beads except for the first yellow bead. Now you have the first of three yellow stamens for the flower. Follow the same procedure until you have three stamens.

3

Cut a new piece of metal wire at a length of approximately 30 cm. Apply a long and a small green bead, and then lead the wire back through only the long bead. Continue the same process five-seven times. Now, you have a collar for under the flower.

4

Now, shape the petals around the stamens in the middle of the flower, add the flower collar, and attach it by wrapping the metal wires around each other.

5

It is now time to make leaves for the stem. Cut a new piece of metal wire at a length of approximately 30 cm, and alternately apply beads of different shades of green and different sizes. Anna recommends that you start from the middle of your metal wire and work your way from the tip of the leaf towards the stem. You can make the leaves in varying sizes, lengths, and shapes as shown in the video.

6

Cut a metal rod in a suitable length and gather the crown of the beaded flower at the top. Secure the flower and at a continuous basis the leaves to the metal rod by twisting floral tape tightly around the stem all the way down.

7

If you like, you can make more small flowers with leaves, so that in the end you have a flower stem with several flowers and airy leaves. You can now let the flower decorate elegantly and without the need for water in the home.
