French Beaded Leaf

This design can be used as both a leaf or a petal and is one of the basic techniques used in French Beading.
TOP TIP: If you wrap the wire around the central vein, at the top of the leaf, at a 45 degree angle you'll get a pointed tip whereas wrapping the wire around the base of the leaf, at 90 degrees give a rounded edge at the bottom.
Materials:
0.4mm wire
11/0 seed beads
If you've never used a Bead Spinner before, here's a quick demo of how to string your seed beads directly onto your wire:
