For this demonstration, she uses hyacinth flowers, but you can apply this technique to many types of flowers, such as marigolds, carnations, etc.

However, you should adjust the needle strength and thread type accordingly. The sturdier the plant, the sturdier the needle and string. Flowers that are more delicate than others require more flexibility.

A great source for threading materials is Beadalon. We purchased ours at Michaels.
