I love to string beads to make flowers. I enjoy watching the process of how a beautiful flower emerges from a pile of beads and a spool of wire, a flower that shimmers in the sunlight and never wilts.
Sunflower—flower of the sun.
I made it according to the instructions from a beading kit.
Forget-me-not twig
I wove this forget-me-not sprig according to a masterclass from the Internet. I decided to frame it because one sprig is not enough for a bouquet in a vase, and I’ve already run out of beads of that heavenly blue color.
Lilac bush
Here’s a miniature lilac bush I wove as a birthday gift for my mother-in-law. I learned from an online masterclass.
Violas and snowdrops.
I made these flowers following instructions from beading kits. They really match my spring mood.
Blue hyacinths
I braided blue hyacinths as a gift for Mom for Mother’s Day. I made them according to the instructions in a beading kit.
Lavender
I planned to weave heather, but my wire was too thin, so I had to shorten the flowers so they wouldn’t droop from the weight of the beads. I put them in a cute ceramic wagon. I liked the result.
