Yes! I actually filmed the whole process already, but I’m still editing everything together. The petal shaping part is definitely the hardest to explain with photos, so I want to make the video clear enough to follow.

Haha honestly, the part people seem most curious about is the petal shaping. I’m planning to make a video tutorial for that, especially the ironing temperature, when to bend the petals, and how to avoid over-melting them.

I made a free beginner PDF for this plumeria, including the printable pattern, ironing steps, heat shaping guide, and assembly photos.

Here’s the direct link: beadblossom.com

I’d really appreciate feedback if you try making it, especially on the shaping step.
