Two years ago, my 5th grade colleague and I were heading the Volunteer Tea committee so we taught the students how to make beaded flowers. The flower is my own design, and looks best with 5 or 6 petals. I also have a YouTube video which pretty much shows the process step by step. What I love about these flowers is how easy it is to add variations to it once you learn the basic beaded star.

The flower needs some fishing line (this is the cheapest option I know for making bulk flowers), scissors, super glue, and at least two bead colors. I split this process into two steps, Part A and Part B. You can skip Part B if it looks too complicated. =] Part C is another option for making this flower with 5 pedals.
