If you’re interested in beads and flowers, then you might be interested in creating a single beaded flower. This is a nice gift or addition for your room décor. It may even be perfect as a suncatcher if hung on a window.

1. 1 Gather your materials. You’ll need a cord or a string, beads, scissors, and a ruler.
   • Use the ruler to measure out the string. You may cut it to about 48 inches.
   • For the colour of the petals, you can choose any colour that you want, but for simplicity of this task, the colour will be pink. For the middle part of the flower, also known as the disk, you might as well stick to using yellow beads. Lastly, the stem will have green beads.
2. 2 Add the first set of beads for the first petal.
   • Take the string and thread through at least 8 pink beads. This will become the petal.
   • Take 2 yellow beads and thread them with the string.
   • You should see that you have 10 beads total on the same string.
3. 3 Begin to create the first petal. You will create a loop that will complete this petal.
   • Just take one side of the string that has the pink beads and thread it through the 2 yellow beads in the opposite direction to how the yellow beads were initially threaded. You’ve created your first loop, which is now the first petal.
4. 4 Start out with the second petal by adding more beads.
   • Since you’ve completed the first petal, take one side of a string and thread that with 2 yellow beads.
   • Add 7 more beads that is the consistent colour of the first petal. You should leave out only one bead for this petal, because this will play a role for the later step.
5. 5 Complete the second petal. You’re going to create a second loop, but this step will be different.
   • Use the eighth bead from the first petal, which is the last bead that has been threaded. Thread the string into that bead, then pull it through.
   • String through the yellow beads for the second petal going in the same direction as you’ve already had threaded.
   • You’ve now created the second petal. The reason why one extra bead has been left out for this petal, is that both petals are going to share that same bead. This will give the flower an “uplifting” look.
6. 6 Create the rest of the petals. Simply repeat the previous steps for making the petal above.
   • Start finishing on the left side of the flower. After you’ve created the second petal, just complete the third petal: add two yellow beads, then seven beads, string the last bead from the previous…
