There’s no resisting the bright yellow of a sunflower once bead season rolls around! On this grid, each square stands for one bead: start with the round brown heart in the centre, then add the yellow petals all around, working your way row by row. The green stem goes on next, running down from the flower, with two little leaves branching out evenly on each side to keep the design balanced. It’s a timeless favourite that pleases every age, and the contrast between the brown and the yellow gives a really bright result once ironed. Hang your sunflower in a window or on the fridge to bring a little sunshine indoors all year round. A beginner-friendly project you can bead a few rows at a time!
