Procedure

Step 1

Cut off 17-18 cm of wire. Straighten the wire from the coil. Put some glue on the end of the wire. String the central bead and leave it to dry according to the gluing instructions.
Sew the flower. String and tie off 6x R7 (figure 1a). String 1x T (a total of 6x) into each of the gaps between the rocailles (figure 1b). Pull the beginning of the line into the holes of the R7 between these strung T. Thread the needle and line through the second hole of one of the T. Start to alternately string 4x T and 3x T around the circumference of the flower between the protruding T (figure 1c) and then sew in the line. 
Create a loop, thread the line through it twice and tighten it. Thread the line through the other T. Create another loop, but this time only thread the line through it once. String several more T and cut off the line.

Step 2

String the flower onto the wire. String 5 mm of green beads from below the flower to support it. String ca 60x R8 on the beginning of the wire. Leave about 1-1.2 mm at the end unstrung and connect the loop to it. Grasp the end of the wire between the points of the pliers. Twist the wire around one point until the loop is completely closed. Gently twist it back. The stem should face towards the centre. It can be straightened using the flat nose pliers. If the final loop is not successful, it is possible to glue the last rocailles to the wire.
Create several variants for a large bouquet. The bouquet on the title page consists of 26 flowers.
