How to Make a Daisy Chain Bracelet

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

snaps
small seed beads
beading thread
beading needle

Step 1

Before starting, decide how long the bracelet is to be. For my unusual wrist size, I can make up to an 8" chain to wear and be fine. Most people should be comfortable with a 7-7 1/2" size bracelet and some will likely need a smaller size. Measure the wrist to find out what size it is and make the chain 1/2" to 1" bigger.
Step 2

First, make the fastening end. Some people make a round ball on one and and loop to hold it together. An easier way is to start out with a fastener, such as a snap. Make sure the thread is looped through at least one hole a few times and possibly even tie an unnoticable knot to make sure it holds.
Step 3

Start with a single bead, such as a green one. Then sew on four color beads for the bottom part of the flower.
Step 4

Next add the center bead--yellow, orange, or ivory may be best. Pull the thread through the first flower bead added in the sequence.
Step 5

Add two more flower beads and pass the needle through the fourth flower bead from the previous step.
Step 6

Repeat steps 3-5. Measure the bracelet when it comes close to the proper size to see if it will fit. When it does come to a size that will fit, sew on the other snap through one hole like the second step and it should be ready to wear!
