Here you will find tips and inspiration for how you can go about it yourself.
-
Choose your motif
Decide what motif you want to make. Eggs are classic for Easter, but you could also make little chickens, bunnies or feathers. -
Pearl on
Lay out your tube beads in the desired pattern on a bead plate. Don't be afraid to mix colors - the more color, the more spring feeling! -
Iron gently.
Place ironing paper over the design and use a hot iron until the beads melt together. Watch carefully so you don't heat for too long. Tip: You can iron on both sides to strengthen the motif. -
Attached to a flower stalk
Use glue or double-sided tape to attach the finished beaded figure to a flower stick. Make sure it is secure so that your decoration does not come loose when placed in the vase. -
Place in the bouquet
Stick the flower stick decoration among your flowers or arrange it in pots. -
