HANA means flower in Japanese.This motif looks like a flower.

I'll introduce a hexagonal motif.
(You can make a pentagonal motif)

To start with, string one blue bicone bead and slide it to the center of your string.
For convenience, the right hand string is colored Blue and the left is Pink.
Now add one seed bead to the P string
Add one seed bead, one Czech bead , one seed bead and one blue bicone onto the B string.
Bring the P string's end through it from left to right, making a crossover.

Repeat step 2 three more times.
After crossing the strings in the blue bicone, wait here.
Add one seed bead and Czech on the P string.
Add one seed bead , one blue bicone and one seed bead on the B string. Bring the B string throuh the Czech in order to make the 2nd row. Keep the tension on your string very tight. Makingr rows.

Now it becomes confusing place.
Use the P string.

Repeat from here.
Pich up one seed bead and go through the Czech bead from the previous row. To continue, go back to where it says Repeat from here. Go around the outer edge of the motif, adding one seed bead. Do not be disturbed if it doesn't tighten up right away.

After stringing all the beads, Pull both strings in order to make the tension tight. Can you tell that the flat motif became 3D?
Now go to Finishing. (Do not cut the strings yet)
After that, use this motif as you like. If you'd like to make a ring, go tofree pattern and chose your favorite band and weave it.

Notice!!!
If you finish weaving the band of the ring you choose, I recommend that you weave back through the center seed beads and the other beads already strung to reinforce the ring, using the both remaining strigs. It sure makes the form of the ring more beautiful.
This process is pretty irritaing. since it's hard to get the string go through the small beads. But do not give up! Be patient!
The more you weave back, the stronger your ring will be!
