Sunflowers are hands-down my favorite flower — always turned toward the sun, bursting with color, impossible to miss in any garden! I really wanted to turn one into a fuse bead design, with pointy petals all around a dark, speckled center.
This one needs a large square pegboard, since the pattern is pretty generous — plan on a good hour to lay it all out, stem and leaves included. Start with the center, alternating the two dark shades for that speckled look, then move on to the petals in a yellow-to-orange gradient, and finish with the green stem.
Since the design is symmetrical, find the center line before you start — it’ll save you headaches when ironing! Hung on a wall or propped on a desk, this little sunflower will brighten up any corner of the house.
