    Quick Project Steps

    Gather Materials: 11/0 Delica beads (for petals). 15/0 seed beads (for filling gaps). 3mm pearls (optional embellishments). Dragon Thread (size 5) and big eye needle. 20mm wooden bead (core structure). Create the First Flower: String seven Delica beads and tie them into a circle. Use ladder stitch to build petals around each bead, starting with rows of 2, 3, and 4 beads, then decreasing back to 3, 2, and 1. Repeat for all seven beads to complete the flower. Make the Second Flower: Repeat the steps above to create an identical flower. Connect the Flowers: Align the petals of both flowers and stitch them together using 15/0 seed beads and 11/0 Delicas. Insert the Wooden Bead: Place the wooden bead inside the connected flowers and adjust the alignment to match the flower centers. Fill Gaps: Add rows of 15/0 seed beads between the petals to cover the wooden bead. Embellish with Pearls: Add 3mm pearls at the flower centers and connect them with additional seed beads for a polished look. Add Tassel or Loop: Attach a tassel or create a loop with beads to finish the piece for hanging or styling. Secure Threads: Tie off all threads securely and trim excess for a neat finish.

    It was a little difficult to understand how the kit subscription worked, and I’m still not sure if I’ve subscribed to the right thing. Please let me know if I have done the right thing.
