16x8mm Orchid Pearl Beads
8mm White Round Pearl Beads

2nd, string a 16x8mm orchid pearl bead beside the white pearl bead and fix it by wrapping the copper wire onto the linking part(as shown in the picture);

 

3rd, repeat the above step to add 8 more 16x8mm orchid pearl beads around the 8mm white round pearl bead. In this way, an orchid pearl flower comes into being;

4th, add a 16x8mm white pearl bead and a 16x8mm orchid pearl bead in sequence around the 6mm white round pearl bead. Repeat this step three times;
5th, cut a piece of 0.3mm silver copper wire. Then, thread a 4mm white round pearl bead to the middle of the copper wire and fold the copper wire into half;
6th, add a 16x8mm white pearl bead and a 16x8mm orchid pearl bead in sequence around the 4mm white round pearl bead. Then, repeat this step twice. Repeat the steps to make two such flowers.
