Default Petal Bead Question?

What am I doing wrong when the petals of my petal beads are blunt or cut off at the end than coming to a point at the end. At times half of the petals look right but the others look flat and cut off at the end. I am not sure what I did right on the good ones to correct what I am doing wrong.

It depends on how you cover it with clear. Clear will move the glass it covers, uncovered ends will sort of curl up over or get a square shape outlining the clear edge.

I think how to overcome that is one of the challenges of petal beads. I'm still working on that too. Love to hear if someone else has some more advice!

I believe you need more clear on your ends.
