Technique: double loop







1.String a large amount of beads (size 11/0) on a brass wire (28 ga).Turn 10 beads together into a loop, 10 cm from one wire end, twist and make a little loop (pic.1).

2. Wrap the beads around the outside of the loop a second time. Give one full twist (pic.2-3).










3.Make the third loop the same way (pic.4). You can make all 5 petals like this, each on separate piece of wire or…

4. ...or 6 mm ahead from the first petal, make a loop from 10 beads as you did in step1 (pic.5)

5.Make the second and the third loops like in steps 2-4. In the same way create 3-rd, 4-th and 5-th petals.
6. When all 5 petals are ready, twist the wire ends 2 times (on the wrong side), pull one end of wire on the right side, string one big bead-center (pic.7), turn over to the opposite side.

Materials:
Green seed beads size 11/0
Brass wire 28 ga
Wire-cutter
Arranger
Clay pot
Glue (glue gun with plastic sticks)

1. String a large amount of beads (size 11/0) on a spool wire (28 ga). Slipping the first 5 beads, insert wire through the next 5 beads, and tighten. Leave about 1 inch of loose wire from one end and 1/4; in. from another. Cut the wire. Now, you have 1 thorn.







2. Repeat step1… Join 3 thorns together twisting long ends. Be patient: I made more than 100 bundles of thorns for my little cactus!


3. I used ball arranger as a base for my cactus (diameter -1 3/4 in =4.5 cm), attached it to the clay pot with a glue- gun... Stick bundles into the arranger.





4. If you wish, you can make beaded flowers and stick them into the top of cactus.
