Now I'm going to show you how to make a leaf for the flower. For that we need the metal,
a thin metal wire and again we are going to cut about 20 inches long. I'm going to use
now green beads, the same size I used as the beads for the petal and I'm going to take
first one bead and put it in the middle then put two beads this time we have only one color,
although you can play with green colors too. You can use different greens and make the
leaves more interesting. I took the other side of the wire and I'm pulling from both
sides creating a little triangle. Again taking now three beads. If you want to make the leaves
a little shorter you don't need to go all the way up to five, you can stop at four.
Pull from both sides, the same way as you have made the petals and again now we are
going to take four beads and now I'm going to do three times, the four layer because
I am going to stop at that, I'm not going to go all the way up to five beads, I just
want to stop at four and make it a little bit thinner leaf and again the wires on both
sides, pulling them and now I'm going to do one more four, and then I'm going to go down
to three and finish with the leaf going downwards and now I'm going to go down to three after
I have four, I'm going to go down and then to two and we are going to put one more bead,
close this leaf.
