How Do You Make Beaded Flower Hair Pins?
A beaded flower hair pin is both a stylish accessory and an easy beginning beading project. Because of the almost limitless beading combinations you can design, this project suits a variety of styles. For example, translucent white beads can be used for a more sophisticated look suitable for a wedding, while a collection of different sizes and colors of beads would complement a more casual look. Cut a 14-inch piece of wire and find the approximate middle. String one larger seed bead and 20 smaller seed beads, pushing them to the middle of the wire. Thread the wire back through the first larger bead, pushing the beads together tightly and forming a loop. This is your center flower petal. Again, thread 1 larger bead followed by 20 smaller beads onto the wire. Push the beads up against the larger bead and the base of the first petal. Form a loop by going back through the larger bead and pull the end tight. You have just completed the second petal. Repeat Step 4 once more on the same side,
