Cherry Blossom - French Beaded Flowers Tutorial

A simple, three-flower blossom group works beautifully by itself as a little cluster stem. These would be ideal for brooches, button holes or small singular flowers as jewellery embellishments. However if you would like a long arching stem of flowers for display, create lots of these three-flower groups then attach each one onto a stiffer wire or even a natural branch. You might need to refer to Basic Shape Projects – Wraparound Loops & Continuous Loops. Lets Create!
