How to make Beaded Superduo Flowers
Step 1
Thread all 8 Superduo beads onto your thread.
Step 2
Tie the ends of thread together, leaving a 7cm tail at one end, to create a circle. Thread the short tail through a few beads and trim off.
Step 3
Thread through the second hole in the Superduo you are exiting, going back on yourself, adding one size 8 seed bead in-between each Superduo. End by threading through the first size 8 seed bead you added.
Step 4
Pick up three size 11 seed beads, anchor through the next size 8 and continue the whole way around the circle. End by anchoring through the first size 8 bead and fasten off the end with a knot around the thread. Weave through a few beads before cutting off the excess.
You can make earrings, pendants or even keyrings just by adding a jump ring to link onto your earwires or chain. Or to make more of a statement, make several beaded Superduo flowers to join together and create a bracelet or necklace.
