Beaded Flowers Tutorial


Beaded Flowers Tutorial
I used beaded flowers and beaded butterflies as embellishments on a handmade photo frame made by recycling a book!These are the materials used to make the photoframe [Here are links to photo frame tutorials]
DIY Photoframe
I recently became fascinated with beads and simple jewelry making after my daughter was gifted a jewelry making kit for her birthday.
Beaded Flowers Tutorial
These simple beaded flowers are easy to put together and are great embellishments on paper crafts and home decor projects.This photo shows the top of the photoframe where the photo is slipped in.
