Materials…

• White hammered cardstock
• 2mm-wide satin ribbon
• Silver wire
• Silver thread
• 3 clear iridescent beads
• Pink mulberry paper
• Small round- and flat-nosed pliers

To create…

1 Using fine round-nosed pliers to grip the wire at the very end, twist and begin to form a spiral. Then take the wire slightly wider to form the head of the flower.

2. Using flat-nosed pliers, bend the wire at the bottom of the flower to create a right angle for the stem. Create leaves using flat- and round-nosed pliers. Mount onto mulberry paper.

3 Thread three beads onto silver thread and tie around the card. Add a strip of 2mm-wide ribbon.

4 Spell out ’3 wishes’ using silver wire, and attach using PVA glue.
