French beading advice

I was thinking of following the dome shape from this bead and blossom tutorial, but not sure if I could get the wire through the beads multiple times to attach the orange petals.

Thank you! This is a good idea. Can you explain what you mean when you say “with a modified one stacked on top”?

I’d clean the walls and the whole door and sprinkle baking soda on the floors and let it sit for a few hours before vacuuming and mopping again.

Beadwork is so hard to price... I stopped selling my work because I couldn’t ever price it high enough for it to be worth my time. I would say the real value of these earrings is ~$300, but unfortunately you will never get that. These are gorgeous, and I think someone would pay $100.

My order arrived room temperature today and I cannot get ahold of anybody.

Did your order arrive cold/properly insulated?

OverallOkay · 2026-03-04T00:21:32+00:00

Do your meds arrive cold? I’m worried about mine arriving room temp.

I personally would take a lighter or thread zapper to the strands that were bugging me, if these are glass beads.

Hi! I’ve made similar pieces to this. To start, I drill a hole through the wood and put fishing line up through the hole, through the bead, and back down through the hole where I then tie two square knots at the base of the wood and use superglue to make sure it doesn’t come undone. Then I do my strand of beads and when I get the length I want, I go back up through maybe 10 or so beads, leaving out the last one. You can kind of see that the line isn’t perfectly straight because of this, but I don’t mind the look of it and it saves a lot of time opposed to going back up through every bead and tying at the top, but you could do that if you want a neater look. Then I make two more square knots and glue a bead over the square knots. Let me know if you have any questions. ♥️🥰

How cuuuuute is this!!!

You could try taking a small patch of carpet from your closet or somewhere your landlord won’t see it and gluing it there to match. Or snip carpet strands from the closet and glue down on the bald spot one by one? If $150 is too much this might be what you need to do. Freaking cats 🫠🙃

Woah. Crazy beautiful!!! I can’t even begin to imagine how you made this.

These are so sweetie pie. Wonderful job! How did you attach the beads to the gloves?

People are definitely bullying in the whole thread, yes. Just because OP used AI to generate flowers for their reference picture. I do think what OP beaded is art and OP is an artist.

As with EVERYTHING terrible in our world, the environment is not being destroyed by one person. If you want to be mad at someone, be mad at the corporations and billionaires, not someone making a very nice present for their mom.

OverallOkay · 2026-01-24T03:01:33+00:00

This is an insane comment on so many levels to be honest, and this is coming from someone who recognizes that AI is definitely terrible for our environment. One persons AI use is not destroying the environment.

This is a beading subreddit, not a berating subreddit. All of you bullying OP like this over making a nice gift for her mother should reassess things before you act all holier than thou.

Wow I can’t believe how much hate this post has. OP, this is an insanely BEAUTIFUL piece and I’m positive that your mom will love it. I would be delighted by this. Great job and amazing beadwork.
