This beginner project starts with one repeatable petal shape. A light fuse keeps each piece flexible enough to curve while warm, and a simple overlap closes the five petals into a balanced flower.

Prepare five matching petals
Use the printable petal chart in the full PDF five times. Keep the direction, center stripe, and edge outline consistent across the set.
Fuse lightly and evenly
Work in small circles at medium heat, aiming for a secure piece that still has visible bead openings and enough flexibility for shaping.
Shape while the petal is warm
Support the base, lift the sides, and curl the tip inward. Hold the curve for a few seconds before letting the piece cool.
Build a five-petal ring
Overlap each petal at the base and rotate the flower as you work. The last petal tucks beneath the first to close the circle cleanly.
Check the finished silhouette
View the flower from the front and side, then make small warm adjustments so the petals open at similar angles.
