French Beaded Southern Magnolia Pattern - INTERMEDIATE - wire wrapping + seed beads flower (PDF Pattern)

French Beaded Southern Magnolia Pattern by designer Lauren Harpster of Bead & Blossom. This is the 2022 version of the pattern, which has been rewritten to fit with my current methods of formatting and writing patterns. The design and photos are the same as the original. The last photos show a larger branch made by adding in extra flowers and buds.

Difficulty Rating: Intermediate

The PDF is 9 pages and contains over 30 high quality pictures along with detailed written instructions to guide you in making your very own beaded Magnolia. This listing is for the PDF only and does not include materials.

This pattern is made for those who are already familiar with the following French Beading techniques:
- Basic Frame
- Continuous Loops
- Lacing
- Lace as you go
- Reverse Wrap
- Unit Support Wires

You can learn all of these techniques for free on my website - BeadandBlossom.com

The resulting Magnolia is heavy and will need to be potted securely to avoid damage from tipping over.

The tutorial is written in English using Imperial (inches, ft) terms for measurement.
