Time to get giggy with it, start out with this:

All flowers start out like this.

after adding two beads on each of the starting 5, you now have a thread between them to brick stitch from.

Beautiful! What size beads did you use, if you don't mind me asking? Thanks a bunch of for the tutorial, they're really pretty.

Thank you  Mienna!  I used size 11/0 seed beads with Dandyline thread.
 
 I know I left out a lot of steps for beginners so if anyone has any questions ask away.

These are incredibly beautiful!!!!! I love them - they look delicate and springy all at the same time - what size are they? I'm thinking they might make great earrings!

[beadizzygrl]

My DD said same thing with the BIG one!!  Not sure if anyone wants to be daring enough to wear the big one as earrings but she says it is IN!  So is earrings that one is longer than the other but similar looking.

TY bunches Kaleesi on your compliments!

Well, I'm not a teenager anymore so I would probably have to go with the middle one. I'm thinking it would look really striking in black and white....

[beadizzygrl]

Wow I was thinking same thing too with black and silver  .  The smaller ones on bracelet has more a curve to the leaves which I like better, I learned to pull the thread very taut around each leaf makes them really curl.  I wanted to use the largest white one in tutorial since the leaves are more visible lying more flat.
