How to Make Flowers with Beads

in tutorial •  6 years ago 

Nature is the biggest inspiration for any artist, especially flowers. I use the flower motif everywhere: in my jewelry designs, as well as my wall decor pieces.

Today I will show you how to make beautiful flowers with beads and wire.

This is the final result.

We will use 5 beads for the center so we can make a flower with 5 petals, like a star. The petals will have 7 smaller beads each. This tutorial is a basic example on how to use beads for making a regular flower. You can get creative and use more beads, different sizes. Experiment and have fun!

The pictures are self explanatory. The secret is to be consistent and to thread the wire through the last bead, as shown.

As you can see, I made a few variations, because I need to decorate a tree of life wall decor I just finished.

I also make colorful flower earrings, with the same technique, just switching around the beads, the colors, the sizes, etc. These particular earrings are made with wooden beads, so they are light weight and very comfortable. You can browse my online shop to see some other interesting pieces I have in stock. Visit My Shop Here!

Hope you enjoyed my little tutorial and maybe you got inspired. See you next time!

Handcrafts are pretty, nice talent to have and share @starjewel have a wonderful day.

Thank you @joanstewart I think everything handmade is art. 😊

Wow, these are really neat and pretty. Are you selling them on etsy? I wonder how much you could get. I was thinking of having my Mom make Disciples Crosses (very popular) and selling them online and maybe offline would be even better.

Yes, I run two Etsy stores. But I think it is better offline, because people get to see the pieces in person. Pictures can be deceiving. 😊

I must really say, you inspired me already
You did opened my eye of understanding to nature

Oh wow! That's an amazing work! The flowers are just beautiful and easy to do. Thanks for share!

This is really nice, you have a good skill here. Keep it up dear, I have learnt somethings too from this, thanks

Easy instructions and very nice product.

Wow that was beautiful very artistic and creative you could create your own shop using your creation

These are beautiful and nice handmade stuffs. Shoppers may buy those as Christmas present to anyone.

saludos, es realmente muy fácil y quedan muy bonitos, en mi pais, de niño lo haciamos pero eran mas sencillos, de maximo dos colores por que eran unas semillas que se encontraban de manera natural a los alrededores. felicitaciones. id kryptonia @reyos69

The only flowers I love are fresh flowers, I adore their beauty and smell, no matter they are wild or not. But I do not like flowers motifs anywhere at my home.

dam beautiful man..... you are so talented . you should sale your products in ebay.

It is very beautiful, most important thing is it is handmade jewellery. Wah, After watching I remembered on phrase " Taarif karo isko jisne tujhe banaya". The underlying meaning of this "Praise those who have prepared them" It was told in a poetic way.

Oh yes they look beautiful. It looks like you could have an infinite amount of possibilities. Keep up the creativity :)

The flower petals are pretty but I love the earrings, they are so beautiful! You are very talented and creative!

This is wonderful, that was beautiful very artistic and creative you could create your own shop using your creation

Thank you for this tutorial. Sometimes we forget that beautiful crafts such as these don't necessarily need to be complicated to look fantastic. In South Africa, we have a number of wire artists who make bead animals to sell on the roadside. Keep an eye out for my series of articles on these artists which will be posted sometime in December.

such creativity, I really like the design and all, please keep it up and continue to show us, more of your design. Thanks again
