Now that the flowers in the garden are well and truly gone, we have to resort to beaded varieties to take us through the long winter excepting those in the Southern Hemisphere or the tropics! So get inspired with this crop of flower tutorials to incorporate into your jewelry designs.

This great French beaded Sparkle Flower earrings tutorial  is by Meredith Roddy for Beadalon.What I like about French beading is the use of smaller beads on wire to easily form larger clusters. Check out the tutorial links below for more.


I've written about Peruvian or string art pendants before. However you can also construct flowers from several of these as petals. Just hop over to the Ganutell Blossoms` Blue Embellished Flower tutorial which can be used make a pendant. She does a lovely job of contrasting the white over the dark blue threads.

For beading fans, here is a lovely Beading Arts tutorial  for Beaded Flowers written by Cyndi Lavin. She uses brick and peyote stitch. It`s for personal use only.

There are so many ways to make flowers so here is another Beaded Flower tutorial by Michelle Skobel.
