  Step 1

  String a bugle beed on the wire. Take one end of it and thread it back through the bead so it stays secured, leaving about a 6cm tail.

• 

  Step 2

  With the long end of the wire, string some seed beads (I used 9 but they were different sizes) and a bugle bead. Put the wire through the first bugle bead again, starting on the side with the 6cm tail.

• 

  Step 3

  This is what it looks like...Start adding beads again

• 

  Step 4

  After the same number of beads as before, add a bugle bead and thread the wire through the bugle bead accross from it.

• 

  Step 5

  Again, string the same number of beads, then a bugle bead, then put the wire through the bugle bead on the top.

• 

  Step 6

  Thread on the same number of seed beeds, then put the wire through the bugle bead that makes up the other side of the petal you are working on.

• 

  Step 7

  Twist the working wire and the tail you left behind together, for less than a cm. Thread both the wires through the black bead, and push the bead against the petals.

• 

  Step 8

  Separate the two wires, and turn them downwards towards the back of the flower, with them going the opposite direction from each other. So it goes around the black bead and through the middle of two opposite petals, then meets again at the back. Twist the wires together, than snip the excess off. Bend the twisted wires so they are right next to a bugle bead. Shape the petals as desired. Done!
