So I was looking for something and came across an old daisy chain that was from when I was 8 years old. It's broken and falling apart but I remember how much I loved making them. Then I remembered that my Mom (huge crafter) had some seed beads she gave me back in February. "Let's see if I still can make one" and this is when I forget entirely what I was looking for and started making one two.
Anyone else make these as a kid?
Seed beads or glass beads. My Mom gave me two packages. I actually have a large assortment in my jewelry bin as well.
You can find them at any craft store or on Amazon if you search seed beads.
Supplies:
Needle
Thread or jewelry wire/string
Seed beads
Scissors
I haven't decided how I'm going to end the bracelet. Probably with jewelry clasps.
I used two beads as spacers between year flower (yellow), 4 blue beads for part of the petal, white bead for the center, and 2 blue beads for the other side of the petal.
2 yellow spacer beads.
4 blue beads for part of the petal and white bead for the center.
Pass the needle down through the first blue bead (start of the petal.)
Pull until tight.
You have half the petal and center complete.
2 blue beads for the other side of the petal.
Pass the needle up through the fourth blue bead (last bead from the first part of the petal.)
Pull until tight.
Just to get an idea of how many to make a bracelet or necklace.
13 flowers with two seed beads as spacers makes a 6" bracelet.
