I love making these seed bead daisy chains! In the past when I've made them I always made the daisies the same color, but after seeing all of the new seed bead colors together, I thought it would look great if the daisy colors were all different. Daisy chains are surprisingly easy and quick to make- I think a stack of daisy chain bracelets would look awesome! For this bracelet I used beading wire, but thread & a flexible needle can be used as well.
This design requires the following products. The seed beads used in this design are listed below the step-by-step. If you would like to shop all colors click the 11/0 and 6/0 links listed below.
11/0 Seed Beads
6/0 Seed Beads
Beading Wire
Begin with a piece of nylon cord that's six times the length you want your bracelet. Thread the needle and pull it to the middle so you have a doubled cord, making sure the ends are even. Thread the ends through the loop of your lobster clasp and tie a double knot, leaving a 5" tail. If you're using beading wire, I just attached the end of the wire to a lobster clasp with a crimp tube.
String on 10 white seed beads (or whichever color you choose for the vine). I used 11/0 seed beads for the vine- but any size will work. Next, string on 7 seed beads in whichever color you'd like for the petals. Note- If you're using 11/0 seed beads, 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.
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.
Pull the cord through slowly and snug and it will form a circle.
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.
Pull gently until snug, making sure there's no space between the petals & the vine. Repeat steps 2-5 until it's the length you'd like.
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.
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.
To finish the bracelet using beading wire, I just made a loop at the end and secured with a crimp tube. You'll then want to attach a jump ring to the loop.
