Thank you Lauren, your explanations of each step are so clear. My round bottoms are much improved!

[@BeadBlossom]

Oh that's great to hear! Glad you're enjoying the videos. :)

[@shirleyjohnson695]

thanks for the tutorial. I took 20+ hours to make the flowers, and 1/2 hour to make 3 leave, sigh...now I have to be patient to learn how to assemble it all. Still happy to learn this FREE :(

[@BeadBlossom]

You are very welcome! The assembly video will be up on Monday. There were just three leaves to make so most who are following along should have them done by then.

Hey.. are these wire pre beaded

[@BeadBlossom]

No I load the beads onto the wire with a bead spinner.

@@BeadBlossomhow do you know how many to put onto the wire? or is it random?

[@BeadBlossom]

@@wish4141 I usually string around 6 feet of beads onto my spool at a time, and make as many as I can with that length. Then string more if needed. If you run out of beads mid-leaf, you can just estimate the wire needed to complete the leaf by wrapping bare wire around the outside of the leaf for however many rows you still need to make, then cut off the spool and add more beads to the cut end to finish it.
