Briolette Star Flower Tutorial
This tutorial will show you how to create beautiful yet simply constructed Briolette Star Flowers – that are totally reversible!
The design is the same on both the front & back and requires little skill and tools to create either a beautiful pair of Earrings or a Pendant…or even a complete set.
You will be shown how to make the Pendant in 17 easy Steps – with an additional 3 Steps and full explanation on how to embellish the design with the central bead.
Making the Earrings is just a repeat performance of the Pendant! Have fun!
Please note: **Wire is worked directly from a spool, and is NOT cut until closer to the end of the project. If – however – you don’t feel comfortable using a spool – to do 2 complete wraps requires approx. 18” per flower (this of course depends on the size of the briolettes and gauge of wire you wish to use.)
You will be amazed at just how quickly they work up, and how versatile they can be.
Use them as Earrings - a Pendant - as charms on a Bracelet....phone dangle - Key Rings...and more! Simply get creative
By using small Briolettes - you can create gorgeous "mini" flowers in next to no time!
The tutorial will explain Step-By-Step how to create these little gems.
