It is so easy, you can whip up a few in next to no time. Perfect for the little girl(s) in your life!


The tutorial is by Fen of Bead Flora Jewels makes gorgeous French beaded bridal bouquets. I wrote about her work before.

Stringing the beads onto the wire is quicker if you use a bead spinner. Just put a kink on the wire before you start as shown in Fen's bead spinner tutorial.
