Beaded Vase

Here is how to make this beaded vase:
You will need:

  • 20 gauge copper wire (silver colored).  Typically 20 gauge wire is found separately from the beading and jewelry area in craft stores.  So you may need to ask for assistance in finding it in a store.
  • A vase
  • Glass beads
  • Tools to bend and cut wire.  (These will be in jewelry/bead isle). My cat Lizzy with supplies

To make:

  • Cut roughly 12 to 15 inches of wire.  Curl one end of wire so it makes a spiral (see photo below of a circle curled within a circle).  Place next to stem.  Hold in place and wrap wire around stem two or three times.  Add a bead (or two or three) and wrap wire around stem a couple of more times.  Continue until you like the look.  Finish by again making a spiral curl at the base of the stem.
