Flower made from PRECIOSA Twin™ and PRECIOSA Solo™

Preciosa Ornela presents another member in the family of traditional Czech beads and seed beads, the PRECIOSA Solo™ Pressed Bead.

Welcome to our world of infinite possibilities! Preciosa Ornela presents another member in the family of traditional Czech beads and seed beads, the PRECIOSA Solo™ Pressed Bead. The PRECIOSA Solo™ Pressed Bead is the same shape and size as the PRECIOSA Twin™ two-hole Pressed Bead and Seed Bead, but it has only one hole, as the name Solo suggests. This new accessory bead is the same size as the PRECIOSA Twin™ in both its bead and seed bead forms. Its dimensions are 2.5 x 5 mm and it may be produced in all glass colors with the option of any surface finish. PRECIOSA Solo™ Pressed Beads are an excellent supplement to the new two-hole PRECIOSA Twin™ in those coses where free holes are superfluous. If you have not yet had the opportunity to try out the possibilities offered by this oval one-hole pressed bead, here is a very simple tutorial for the creation of a popular flower which can be used as a decoration for a mobile phone, a handbag or a key ring or as a pair of jolly earrings, part of a necklace or as the basis for more complex costume jewelry products. We wish you many creative ideas when working with the new one-hole PRECIOSA Solo™ Pressed Beads, as well as with other types of Czech beads and seed beads.

Procedure

Step 1

String 10x T on a line which is about 12 cm long. Move the strung seed beads to one end of the line and tie them in a circle with a double knot on the line. Pass the shorter end of the line through the nearest hole of the T and pull the knot into the hole so that it is not visible. Pass the other end of the line through the nearest free holes of the T.

Step 2

In the second row, string 1x T onto the line and then pass it through the nearest free hole of the neighbouring T from the initial circle. Further add 1x SPB between the individual remaining T from the initial circle. End this row with a firm knot and once again pass the free end of the line through the nearest hole of the T and SPB. Cut off the remaining end of the line. The flower made of beads and seed beads from the PRECIOSA Traditional Czech Beads™ brand is now finished!

Step 3

Take the flat nose pliers and slightly open the ring on the mobile phone cord; pass it through the free hole of one T between the SPB and then close the ring again using the flat nose pliers. The ring may be also strung onto the T before beginning the second row. You will at least be sure that the selected Twin is suitable and the ring can be passed through the hole.
