Introduction to the “French” technique
The technique is referred to as French Beading or creating flowers using the “French”
technique. It’s commonly recognized that French and other European peasants created this art when
they collected discarded glass beads and used them to create arrangements and flowered memorial
wreaths. Although it’s listed along with other beading techniques, French Beading is more like
sculpting than sewing. The beads are first strung onto a spool of wire. The wire is then bent and
twisted into the flower shapes.
Therefore, even with a pattern, the French-Bead artist has to have some knowledge of
flowers. It is up to you to assemble them in the right direction. What is the RIGHT direction?
The next time you receive one of those beautifully photographed seed catalogs, file it with
your beading supplies. No pattern or explanation can compare to a photo or the live plant. Since
most companies are trying to sell the exquisite blooms, the catalogs are excellent references for
beading.
When French Beading, some patterns are quite lifelike while others are created, in a manner
that merely suggests reality. In most cases, large flowers are beaded to depict more detail than the
smaller varieties.
As you begin accumulating a pile of flower parts, it’s easy to forget exactly what you are
creating. Therefore, this simple diagram of common names (fig. 1) can be used as a quick reference.
If a pattern doesn’t have all these parts, don’t panic. This is an art, not a science. After all, a rose is a
rose, is a rose.

Materials, Tools, and Supplies
Beads
Finish -
Begin by choosing only glass seed beads that appear uniform in size and shape. They can be
found in transparent, opaque (shiny, silk, or matte), pearl (painted), and lined finishes. Although the
first three are used interchangeably, lined beads can produce some special problems. The lining
materials in these beads can deteriorate over a period of time. Sunshine, cleaning products and
sometimes even the act of stringing the beads can ruin the color.
Shape -
Round seed beads are the beads of choice. However, particularly on very large flowers, cut
seed beads can produce a very elegant effect.
Size -
To produce the flowers in this book, the recommended size is 11/0. However, any size will
work.
Quantities -
All of the quantities given are estimates. It’s usually safest to buy extra, as some will
inevitably end up escaping to the floor.
Seed beads are available either loose or strung. For ease and speed, you will probably be much
happier finding a supplier that carries strung heads (Czech). If you can’t find them locally, many are
available on the Internet. However, loose heads can also be used easily if you invest a little more
money and purchase a bead spinner (or stringer).
The quantities for the patterns in this book are based on these approximate figures:
• 16 - 17 beads per inch
• 18” per strand
• 12 strands per hank
• 20 - 24 hanks per kilo (2.2 lbs)
Wire
(check out www.parawire.com)
Finish -
Artistic wires, which are usually electroplated copper work extremely well.
Wire is metal, and metal rusts, therefore, my first choice is always an electroplated, coated or painted
wire. A wide range of colors, as well as gold and silver, can be found in the jewelry and bead
departments of your local craft store. For a more economical source of green, black, and white,
check out the paddle wire in the floral and bridal departments. I 30- gauge floral paddle wire is
wonderful for assembly. It’s cheap, and it won’t show once the flower is taped.
