I'd love to get the tutorial, Cynthia -- I'm dying to know how to do these beads and want to see how it's done before I invest the $$$ for the tool.

No. What it does, is it produces the flower on a wire at the base. The wire can then be looped to hang. So, the flowers hang from the bottom, so you can see the tops of them. Here are a couple of pictures so you can see how the flowers lay.

Hi Starr. The leaves are not a Dona tool. I just have a run of the mill leaf masher for those. Patti, if you haven't already (hard to keep track) just PM me your email and I'll send you one.

Thank you Cynthia,
I received you tutorial this morning. You have me all excited again, now I can add another dimension to something I let slide.
I have used the same vice on flowers and leaves before and found a couple of pictures for general interest. You can see I have wire wrapped the s/steel.
