This flower was inspired by thread earrings. There are many ways to decorate the spiral wire petals with a contrasting color of thread. Skipping coils when weaving the contrasting color can make for a very pretty and unique creation. I have included a pictorial tutorial for this particular example.

The spiral wire is 4.5 cm long. Dark thread is used for the petals first (taken from left to right to make a long petal). The center is a 4 mm Swarovski crystal bicone.
When you are working with the contrast color, skip every second coil.
