2 We bring you this project, designed by Carla Ruvolo, for a delicate decorative floral element made of PRECIOSA Traditional Czech Beads and seed beads. PRECIOSA ORNELA manufactures the widest product range of glass seed beads in the world. One of the most colorful finishes we offer is Solgel, with thirty different shades that all come in three different color intensities. Our Solgel colors can be applied to your choice of crystal, silver-lined crystal, alabaster and chalkwhite beads. The hexagonal PRECIOSA Two-Cut, made from satin glass, transforms spectacularly with Solgel. Applied to the uniquely airy white satin glass, Solgel adds a luxurious element to the seed bead product range by imbuing the glass with a silk-like appearance and shine. Materials and tools: 0,50 mm and 0,30 mm copper wire (green, purple); 2 mm Craft wire; pliers and wire cutters; floral tape Difficulty: Procedure: Making the flowers Using the continuos wrapping technique, we are going to make a 5 petals flower (fig. 1). Twist to secure (fig. 4). Leaving about 1 cm, repeat the previous steps to make the other petals (fig. 5). Using the FPB as the center of the stamen, twist wires for about 2 cm (fig. 8). Make a 3x T-C loop for the first stamen (fig. 9). PRECIOSA Two-Cuts (T-C) ; 10/0; Solgel purple; yellow; green; green PRECIOSA Rocailles (R) ; 10/0; (in matching colors purple and green) PRECIOSA Fire-Polish Beads FPB or PRECIOSA Imitation Pearl IM ; 5 mm; 00030/28701 or ; 4 mm; white String T-C on a 0.50 mm copper wire (purple colored in this case, to match the main seed beads color). Counting 6x T-C, make the first loop, twist twice (fig. 2). When five petals are completed, twist together ending wires to form a flower (fig. 6). Make the other 2 stamen and twist to secure (fig. 10). Slide T-C and make another loop over the first one. Twist twice. Load wire with Solgel purple R and make a third wrap around the previous loop (fig. 3). Now we are ready to make the stamens on a green 0.30 wire, load 1 FPB and 9x yellow T-C (fig. 7). Insert the stamens into the flower and twist ending wires (fig. 11).

3 On 0.30 green wire, load approximately 10 cm T-C atlas green, a few IMs or FPBs, and 10, 12 cm green R (fig. 15). Repeat the previous step to make more tiny leaves (fig. 19). Making the leaves Basic Frame Technique (fig. 22). Shape the petals (fig. 12). Using the continuos wraparound technique, make a tiny loop using 9 R (fig. 16). Make several tiny stems using IMs or FPBs at your choice between the leaves (fig. 20). Load 0.50 green wire with T-C (fig. 23). Make another flowers, smaller, with only T-C loops (fig. 13). Make a second larger loop (fig. 17). Making the accent leaves (fig. 14). You can make one or more accent leaves (fig. 21). Make a tiny loop on the top (fig. 24). Gently pinch the top of the second loop to achieve a pointed leave (fig. 18). Slide four T-C (this will be the first basic row), fig. 25.

4 Use the amount of T-Cs needed to reach the top of the previous row. The angle of the wire as you wrap will change the shape of your leaf. If you want a pointed leaf keep the angle of the wire at 45 degrees while you wrap it around the center wire (fig. 28). Make a loop on the bottom, under the T-Cs (fig. 26). Repeat the steps to make the forth row (fig. 31). This will give to your leaf a more complete look (fig. 34). Slide some T-Cs to the top where you just make the wrap (fig. 29). Twist a few times, slide some T-Cs on the working wire (fig. 27). Complete the fift row (fig. 32). Twist a few times to secure the rows and cut the working wire (fig. 35). Make the second row wrapping the working wire around the center wire. Wrap the working wire at the base of the first rows (keep an angle of 45 degrees to achieve a pointed bottom leaf). Now you have 3 completed rows (fig. 30). Remove any leftover T-C from the working wire and load approximately 10 cm of R and make 2 more rows (fig. 33).

5 Twist wires together (a plier will help you to achieve a nice twist), fig. 36. Ready to assemble (fig. 39). Join leaves accent and flowers with floral tape (fig. 41). Cut the top wire leaving 5-6 mm (fig. 37). Shape petals and leaves (fig. 42). Wrap wires with floral tape (fig. 40). Just play with elements, colors and seed bead finish to make more different designs. Using pliers, bend the top wire on the back of the leaf (fig. 38). Your bouquet is ready. To wrap it around a glass base or to use it as a napking holder, you can wrap it on a longer piece of craft wire using floral tape (to have a long stem for the wrapping), fig. 43.
