Inner ring cluster. String 18 beads. Ring: 1ds, 3B, 1ds, 3B, 1ds, 3B, 1ds, 3B, 1ds, 3B, 1ds, 3B, 1ds, close ring. Insert in the center of the flower.
Maggie suggests using E6000 glue to attach the flower to a tie tack base. I changed the Ring Cluster to have 9 beads instead of 7 on many of my flowers.

This is awesome, I'm going to have to try it. I sure hope I can figure it out, I love beads and tatting together. Thank you to you and please thank Maggie for me also.
ReplyDeleteHi, I really like your beaded flowers. I am trying to figure out who you are. I go to Hector every year and sometimes believe it or not...I also forget my name tag tat I made. I was wonder since you have been to Hector that maybe you don't live to far from me. I live in Canandaigua, New YOrk. If you look in your booklet from Hector you should find my email address. Could you write to me? Glad you are posting. Love your doilies too. I made Lucky Clover doily in a Vandani Quilting variegated thread in greens and see yours in white I didn't recognize the pattern. Isn't that funny? I hope I hear back from you.

Sherry, I will respond to your private email. I'd love to use some of the beautiful quilting threads, but I have trouble seeing anything smaller than size 20 thread.
