11/0 Seed Beads
Beading Wire
Lobster Clasp
Crimp Tubes
Jump Ring
Flexible Needle & Thread

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Step 1

Begin with a piece of nylon cord that's six times the length you want your necklace or bracelet.
Thread the needle and pull it to the middle so you have a doubled cord, making sure the ends are even.

Step 2

Thread the ends through the loop of your lobster clasp and tie a double knot, leaving a 5" tail.

Step 3

String on 10 white seed beads (or whichever color you choose for the vine). Next, string on 7 seed beads in whichever color you'd like for the petals.
Note- I used 11/0 seed beads, therefore I needed to use 7 beads to make up a petal, but if you use a larger seed bead you would only use 6 beads for the petals.

Step 4

To make the daisy, bring the needle up to the first petal bead and poke it through- coming from the top- in the direction pointing away from the clasp.

Step 5

Pull the cord through slowly and snug and it will form a circle.

Step 6

To make the center, string on one seed bead in the color you've chosen and pass the needle through petal bead number 4- coming in from the top in the direction pointing away from the clasp.

Step 7

Pull gently until snug, making sure there's no space between the petals & the vine.
Repeat steps 3-6 until it's the length you'd like.

Step 8

To finish, send the needle through the soldered jump ring twice, and then back down through three of the seed beads. Pull gently to make sure there's no slack. Tie a double knot around the cord between the third and fourth seed bead from the clasp. Cut the cord to remove the needle, but don't trim the cord yet.

Step 9

Thread both strands of the tail you left at the beginning onto the needle. Send the needle down through three seed beads. repeat step 7. Put a tiny drop of glue on the knots. Once dried, cut the excess cord.
