How to Make a Beaded Hairclip for Experienced Beaders

I made this video for myself so I can remember how I modified the flower and leaves from another video I saw. That is why there is no audio, only on screen instructions. I use only 3 colors on the flower instead of 4. On the last row of the large part of the flower I changed the pattern from 3C-1C-3C to 3C-3C-3C. The additional two beads makes more of a petal look. I also changed the method of making the leaves. The original video made one side at a time and when it was time to changed direction, just turned around and started the other way which left the thread showing. I go up one side and down the other so no thread shows. Materials: Flower: 11/0 round in 3 colors Leaf: 11/0 round in 2 colors 8# thread, #12 needle Hair clip Wire (I used Soft Touch flex wire) or thread. I tried 28 and 30 wire and the wire was too brittle and broke. If you don’t have a flex wire, use thread. Jewelers glue Wire cutters for wire Music Credits: 14 Pieces pour La Guitare - - Coste
