 Materials
Flower Centre - String 11/4" red
beads and 8" of light green beads. Form the red beads into a loop. Twist
the feed wire (red beads) around the starting wire, pulling it tightly against
the loops. Cut away the starting wire. Cut the wire leaving 2" of bare
wire. Make 6 such flower centres.
Petals - Shape of the petals
is elongated top and bottom (pointed petal).
Inner
Petals - Inner petals has 7 rows. The basic count of the petal is 2"
in length . The basic and the other two rows must be done in red chalk.
The next four rows are done in white and red speckled chalk beads. Make 3 inner
petals.
Outer Petals - Outer petals has 9 rows. The basic
count of the petal is 2" in length . The basic and the other two rows
must be done in red chalk. The next six rows are done in white and red speckled
chalk beads. Make 3 outer petals.
Leaves - The leaf has 5
rows with pointed top and bottom. The basic count of the leaf is 3" in length.
Make 6 leaves. Leaves are done in light green beads.
Arranging :
-
Cut
a long pieces of stem wire.
-
Twist the hangings wires of all the 6 centres
together and tape it to the stem wire.
-
Bind the inner petals to fit evenly
around stem and tape binding for 1/2". Bend the tips of the petal down a
little shallowly.
-
Bind the outer petals to fit between the opening
of the inner petals. Bend the tips very sharply downwards.
-
Tape down entire
stem.
-
Insert dark green beads on a long wire and twist down the stem for
5".
-
Tape 3 leaves at the base of the twisting, spacing evenly around
stem. The leaves are bend like inner petals.
-
Add the remaining 3 just
under it and tape out the entire stem. The leaves are bend like outer petal.
