How to Make a Beaded Daisy Chain

Some bead projects are complicated enough to require an assistant, but if the instructions are followed correctly, all bead crafts can be accomplished on your own. Creative thinking and poster putty can be a great asset to any crafter. Daisy chains are a simple project that is perfect for the beginner. Read on to learn how to make a beaded daisy chain.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Green, purple and yellow beads
• Size 12 needle
• Bees wax
• Clasp
• String

1. Cut a long piece of double thread string—approximately 3 feet in length. Wax the double thread string so beads will slip on easily.

2. Create a small loop of beads and thread the loop through the hole of one side of the clasp for the bracelet.

3. Tie a square knot at the end of the beads. Leave a piece of the string from the slip knot loose. You will hide this later.

4. Add five green beads, four purple beads and one yellow bead to the string. Thread the string back through the first purple bead.

5. Thread two more purple beads onto the string. This time thread the string through the far side of the yellow bead in the center.

6. Interchange the steps repeatedly until you have formed the desired amounts of daisies.

7. Isolate the ends of the string in the weave of the bracelet. Attach the other end of the clasp. The daisy chain bracelet is complete.

Tips & Warnings

• To make a closed daisy chain, do not add the green beads.
• Do not use a bead that is so large that string will show between the beads.
