How To Make A Floral Fantasy

Don’t let the winter make you blue. Use butterflies, flowers and lampwork beads by Austin Hamilton to make a floral fantasy. Created by Boutique Beads.

DESIGNER’S NOTE

The beads used in my Floral Fantasy are vintage Lucite, crystal and silver.

STEP ONE FLOWER DANGLES

Using the 20 gauge wire, cut a piece approximately 5cm long, and create a head pin by forming a small loop in the wire end. Place a small bead on the wire, a flower, followed by 2-4 small beads. When the dangle is the desired length, create a wrapped loop with the round nose pliers. Create 15 or more of these dangles at varying lengths. Set aside.
