Concept Overview & Aesthetic Appeal
A shimmering window garland made from flexible craft wire shaped into delicate flower petals and strung with pastel glass seed beads and crystal prisms.
Step-by-Step Execution Guide
-
Cut a 12-inch length of 24-gauge gold or silver craft wire.
-
String 15 to 20 pastel glass seed beads (in shades of pink, yellow, and clear) onto the wire.
-
Bend the beaded wire into a teardrop loop and twist the base to form a single flower petal; repeat to form a 5-petal daisy.
-
Twist a larger pearl or crystal bead into the center of the petals to complete the flower.
-
Create 4 to 5 beaded flowers, connecting them along a length of thin gold chain.
-
Suspend a faceted glass teardrop prism at the bottom of the chain to refract rainbow light prisms across the room when hung in a window.

Pro Craft Tip
Use nylon-jaw craft pliers when twisting wire; metal pliers can scratch the metallic coating off decorative craft wire.
