I find the best wire is from Paramount Wire at www.paramountwire.com. It's very good quality and the colors are beautiful. Easy to work with, too. I buy a lot of beads from www.shipwreck beads. They carry lots of beads, and I can buy in quantity and save money. Wherever you buy your beads, be watchful of the quality. You don't want to spend all that time and energy creating a flower that doesn't look good because the beads aren't uniform in size or they fade. I'd love to see a photo of your finished work! Email me at sharon@beadandwireflowers.com! Brandy – sorry for the delay in responding to your question. I find the best wire is from Paramount Wire at http://www.paramountwire.com.

Where do u buy your supplies? Colored wire is not always easy to find in the size I need. I have been using amazon.com for most of the materials. Just wondering if you know a better website.

Thanks for your nice comments. Creating a pointed tip takes a little practice, but is really quite easy. I show this in the ebook Discovering French Beaded Flowers, and it's a question I hear often. I'll do a blog post now on how this is done. If you have any further questions, please feel free to email me. Hi, Brandy! Thanks for your nice comments.

I recently started making French beaded flowers about a month ago. I was looking for crafts to do with seed beads when I stumbled upon a website about French beaded flowers and was in awe. I have gotten better at making the flowers and I purchased a couple of books to help me, but I am still having a little trouble. I was wondering if you could give me any tips. My whole problem is getting the desired shape of the petals. I can do round ones, but when I try to do petals that have pointed tips they do not come out right. They always come out round. P.S. I love the white flowers with teal outlining, very pretty! Sharon, your flowers are gorgeous and very inspiring. I recently started making French beaded flowers about a month ago.
