Transcript for intro and outro for the hearing impaired:
Welcome to French beaded flowers 101! If you’ve always wanted to make French beaded flowers but always felt intimidated because it looks so hard, then you are in the right place.
Hi everyone, I’m Fen Li, designer here at the Bead Flora Studio, author to the book Bead Flora: the Revival of French beaded flowers and a bead instructor at the bead and button show. On this channel, I offer technique reference guides, tip videos, and free beaded flower tutorials just like this one. If you are new here and would like to learn more, consider subscribing.

Today’s project is the first project in my book: Spring Flowers. This is the 1st out of 6 technique practice projects from my book. This project is the ultimate beginners practice project because it will teach you three of the most basic techniques but it won’t take as long as a full flower project. We all love instant gratification! Myself included!
Yes, I’ve done this project on my channel when I first released my book but I wanted to remake it for this series I’m doing. And as I learned more about teaching...yes, I need to learn to how to teach... I have a lot more tips to share with you than when the book was written so that you can shorten your learning curve and be more successful when starting out to make French beaded flowers.
If you are a needle and thread beader, just know that it’s completely different than French beading where we use wire instead of thread. When you put the beads in place with thread, it looks absolutely perfect no matter your beading level. I used to dabble a bit with beadweaving. It’s different with wire. Just know that it’s okay if your first attempts are not perfect. Perfection comes from practice. Your first flowers will be messy but you need to start! Let’s start with your first messy flower!

Outro:
Now question of the day, what’s holding you back from starting French beading? Will you finally take the plunge today?
I put together some kits and listed it in my Etsy shop. Limited kits are available so grab yours today. The Bead and Button show was originally postponed but now it’s cancelled. With how the pandemic is going, they felt it was for the best. So, good news for you! I’ve listed some bead kits in my etsy shop that I made exclusively for the bead show. Each kit includes all the materials you’ll need to make the project. Connect with me on facebook and instagram where I’ll announce when I list a new kit.
