1 Use the templates from the pattern pages, print and trace around the templates from crafts-beautiful.com or scan them onto your digital cutting machine and cut several of each sized flower from pink or lilac cardstock. Each vine uses two to four of each flower size.
2 Use the blade of a pair of scissors to curl each petal upwards before curling the flower in and gluing the small tab to the inside of the opposite petal to make a bell shape. Glue all the flowers, then leave to dry.
3 Take a 50cm length of green embroidery thread and place a small bead in the centre. Thread both ends through a large-eyed needle and pass through the centre of one of the smallest flowers, using a needle tool to make a hole in the flower first if necessary.
4 Thread on another small bead and continue to add flowers, gradually increasing the size of the bead as you move on to the larger flowers. Allow the blossoms to hang freely, securing the top with a dab of glue if necessary.
