Beaded Tulips

Steps:

1. Cut a 4-inch piece of wire and curl it into shape on the pattern.

2. Cut six 24-inch sections of wire in color to match beads. Use coiling gizmo to coil wire.

3. Insert 24-gauge floral wire into the coil, leaving 2 inches exposed on each end.

4. Cut out six petals of the adhesive sheet for each tulip. Peel off one side of backing and press curled wire (from step 1) onto center of petal. Press coiled wire, with floral wire inside, around outer edge of petal and dip into Valentine mix beads.

5. Peel backing off backside and dip into pink metallic beads. Repeat this for all the petals.

6. Make four 3-inch sections of yellow coil. Insert a 6-inch piece of 24-gauge floral wire into the coil and bend in half. Place all ends around the 18-gauge floral wire and secure with tape.

7. Cut out four leaves of the adhesive sheet for each flower. Bend a piece of 24-gauge floral wire in half. Peel the backing off two sections of leaves. Place the wire in the center of one leaf and sandwich the wire in between second leaf.

8. Peel off backing and dip into green beads. Twist ends and secure with floral tape.

9. To assemble flowers: Place petals one at a time to the center stamen of flower and wrap with floral tape to secure. Repeat until all petals have been secured.

10. Place two leaves for each flower at base of long floral stem and wrap with floral tape to secure. Finish by trimming the floral wire to desired length and wrapping entire wire with floral tape. Use flowers to embellish your favorite project.
