  • Beading wire: 0.024 diameter

Instructions:
  1. Cut a 2 yard length of wire. String on a crimp tube and all buttonholes of the button set. On the back of the large button, string the short wire end back through the crimp tube. Crimp by pinching with pliers. Trim off short tail.
  2. On long wire, string 60-65 red beads. Pass the end of the wire between the crimped loop and the back of the button. Pull snugly creating a flower petal. Repeat making flower petals, alternating three seed beads colors until all wire is used.
  3. If the original crimped loop becomes full, string a new piece of wire under some beads and wires at the center, crimp into a loop. Continue making petals.
  4. When the petals are complete, string a crimp tube on the wire end. Pass the end of the wire under the center loop and back through new crimp tube. Pull snugly and crimp. Trim wire end.
