primary materials

Beaded flowers require two primary materials: beads and wire. A large quantity of premium quality glass seed beads are needed, in various colors. Copper wire, generally 24 and 28 mm gauges, is the other primary material.

Jewelry pliers, floral tape, embroidery floss, and stem wires are also necessary.

Perpetual Flora

French beaded flowers and bouquets are a celebration of seed beads. While not a statement on their own, the simple seed bead is used to create intricate structures of beauty. Learn a bit more about the craft:

History

The art of French beaded flowers is believed to have emerged sometime in 16th century Europe, though exact origins are unknown. By the 19th and 20th centuries, beaded flowers were made into wreaths—called immortelles—and placed upon graves, a practice which speaks to the perpetuity and symbolic nature of the flowers.

Purpose

Beaded flowers are meant to be admired. They are not simply decor—they are works of art, sculpted to represent natural forms. They can also be immortalized symbols of memories and loved ones.
