French Beaded Violet: Part 2 Buds

Single Wire Construction of French Beaded Violets: Part 2 Buds This video uses 11/0 beads for the flowers and leaves Make one crossover loop petal. Start with a 1 inch loop (2.5 cm), then bead up the front and down the back. It is recommended that you have the wire of the crossover loop be between the beads of the first loop (this will lock the second loop in place).Twist the petal on itself.. Add - 1 inches of green beads to one of the wires. Twist to form a loop as close as possible to where the wires are twisted together under the flower. Do the same thing on the other side (it does not matter if you used the same wire for both leaves or did one on each wire). Twist tightly and as close to the underside of the leaves as possible. Make several and set aside until assembly.
