For this project I had two problems to solve:

1. I needed to make something FAST
2. The flower bead I wanted to be the focal had its hole in an unusual place

A little creative crimping and some colored bead stringing wire solved both issues!

The only thing I would change (as I mention in the video) would be to use a thinner bead stringing wire and have something dangle from the bottom center of the flower.

I still think it’s pretty cute as is.
