Prepare your materials
Lay out all the beads, wire, and basket on a clean, flat surface.
Sort the flower beads, leaf beads, tube beads, and small center beads before you start.
Make the Flower Center
Thread two small green beads onto the wire. Fold the wire slightly and twist it a few times under the beads to hold them in place.
These two beads will become the center of the flower.
Add the First Bell Flower
Slide one blue bell-shaped flower bead onto the wire, with the flower opening facing the green center beads.
Then add one green tube bead above the flower. Gently pull the wire so the green beads sit neatly inside the flower.
Add the Next Flower
Continue adding beads in this order: small green beads, one blue flower bead, then one green tube bead.
Place the flowers in slightly different directions so the branch looks more natural.
Pull the Wire Through
Guide the wire back through the flower and the green tube bead.
A large wire loop may appear at first. Slowly pull the wire until the loop disappears and the beads sit close together.
Adjust the Flower Shape
Gently bend the wire so each flower hangs down a little, like a real lily of the valley.
Do not pull too tightly. Leaving a tiny bit of space will make the flowers look softer and more natural.
Add the Leaf
After making several flowers, thread on one green leaf bead.
Move the leaf close to the flower branch, then gently adjust the wire so the leaf faces outward. This helps the branch look fuller and more realistic.
Add the First Leaf
Thread one green leaf bead onto the wire.
Move it close to the flower branch, then wrap the wire around the stem once to hold the leaf in place.
Make sure the leaf faces outward so it looks more natural.
Secure the Leaf
Gently pull the wire until the leaf sits close to the stem.
Do not pull too tightly, or the leaf may twist out of place.
You can adjust the angle with your fingers after it is secured.
Continue the Leaf Section
Repeat the same steps: add a green tube bead, add a leaf bead, then wrap and secure the wire.
Keep the leaves slightly spaced out instead of placing them too close together.
This will make the branch look more balanced and natural.
Finish the Branch
After adding enough leaves, add the final small bead at the end and twist the wire a few times to secure it.
Gently shape the flowers and leaves by hand.
Leave a little extra wire at the end so the branch can be attached or placed into the pot later.
