Here you have to look twice to identify the large dandelions as beadwork. The silver magic pearl in the middle creates expressive flower balls that have never been possible before. A great new handicraft idea!
Here's
how it works For the flower stem, drill a hole at the edge of the magic bead with a 3.5 mm drill bit.
Punch out Coloured paper one white pistil per wire, wipe Handicraft paint green over it and pierce a hole in the middle.
Insert the wires one by one from the inside into the magic bead, pull them outwards with the pliers until they stop and fill them with beads.
Important: only The long and middle wires are used. Start in the middle with a long wire, the remaining holes are alternately filled with long and middle wires
Thread on each wire: one squeeze bead, one clear and one white the punched Acrylic-Pearl,out pistils, one iridescent and Acrylic-Pearl finally one squeeze bead.
Press the outer crimp bead with the pliers just behind the wire end, push the other beads up and fix them with the second crimp bead.
When all holes are occupied, cut two stems out of aluminium wire, wrap Florist tape them with and glue them with super glue into the drilled holes.
Join the ball halves together and stick the stems into them.
With the help of the templates, make templates from sturdy cardboard and cut out Straw silk paper 16 large and 4 small sheets.
Glue the support wires with hot glue lengthwise between two equal leaves.
Cut off the protruding wire, glue the leaves to the stems and bend them into shape
Extra Tip: Leaves Before
transferring the pattern I folded Straw silk paper them. So I only have to cut out half of them and get perfectly symmetrical leaves.
