Learn how to weave your own miniature beaded flowers! The Sakura Charm is a dainty, self-supporting little charm in the shape of a cherry blossom flower, and it can be incorporated into a wide variety of pieces such as petite earrings, bracelets, or a gorgeous, blooming necklace! Students will learn how to weave several different kinds of Czech glass beads together with Japanese seed beads to create four different varieties of Sakura blossoms.

The Rose Blossom Pendant features two sizes of petal-shaped beads and little O beads that surround a Swarovski rivoli crystal for a blooming focal pendant. Students will learn how to combine these beads to create this pendant, as well as how to create a smaller version with only one type of the petal beads. String this rose blossom on a silk ribbon for a stunning solo pendant, or incorporate it into a complex floral necklace!

Additional variations on this design will be discussed, including how to vary the bead colors to create other kinds of flowers, and how to incorporate crystals into this design for extra sparkle!
