This wire jewellery tutorial shows you how to create a basic WIRE FLOWER design made from one length of wire with 5 petals and a bead secured in the flower centre. The step by step lesson goes on to show you how the design can be varied with hammered petals, pointed petals and bead embellishments to the centre of the flower.
My ‘wire flower’ design is very versatile and can be used in many jewellery making projects e.g. earrings, pendants, necklaces or maybe incorporated into a bracelet design. Examples and guidance are given of how to make flowers using thicker wire with bigger beads.

24 gauge soft round wire
faceted rondelle beads
26 gauge or 28 gauge soft round wire (optional)
2mm round beads (optional)

TOOLS YOU WILL NEED:
wire cutters

flat headed hammer (optional)
bench block (optional)
