Instructions to Make Flower Bead Bracelet (Daisy Chain Bracelet) 

Part 1: How to Make a Flower with Beads

Step 1: Insert Starter Beads

Since we’re creating daisy patterns for the flower bead bracelet, we’ve selected orange beads for the base, white for the petals, and yellow for the center. You will need to secure the open end of the string or wire first, we’ll show how to do that in the next section of this tutorial.

Insert 5 to 6 base beads, then insert 4 white beads (petal beads), and then insert 1 yellow bead (center of the flower).

Step 1: Insert Starter Beads

Step 2: Beading the 1st Petal Bead

Take the other open end of the string or wire and insert it into the 1st petal bed, from the front side.

Step 2: Beading the 1st Petal Bead

Step 3: Pull the String All the Way Through

After inserting the string into the 1st petal bead, pull it all the way through and bring the petal beads adjacent to one another. The petal beads should be arranged nicely covering the center bead halfway around.

Step 3: Pull the String All the Way Through

Step 4: Bead the Rest of the Petal Beads

Insert 3 more white beads (petal beads) through the open end of the wire.

Step 4: Bead the Rest of the Petal Beads

Step 5: Bead the 4th Petal Bead

Take the open end of the wire and insert it through the 4th bead of the 1st 4 petal beads. To be clear, insert the open end of the wire into the bead at the open end of the current pattern, adjacent to the center bead.

Step 5: Bead the 4th Petal Bead

Step 6: Form the Flower Pattern

Pull the wire all the way through and carefully form a round shape with the petal beads. The petal beads should form into a round shape, around the center bead.

Beading to form the daisy pattern might seem a bit confusing at first but after making a couple of them you’ll get handy.

Part 2: How to Make a Daisy Chain

Step 1: Chain Making

Have you formed the first beaded flower? Let’s make a chain of flowers now. Insert 5 or 6 base beads (use different colored beads than the petal beads).

Part 3: How to Make Flower Bead Bracelet (Daisy Chain Bracelet)

Step 1: Preparing the String

Measure and cut out a long piece of beading string or wire. Insert a crimp bead into the string and keep the loop (or hole) of the crimp bead facing outside.

Make a couple of knots (one over another) on the open end of the string.

Step 1: Preparing the String

Step 2: Securing the Crimp Bead

Close the crimp bead with the knot between its round space.

There, one end of the string is now secured.

Step 2: Securing the Crimp Bead

Step 3: Start Beading

Now, simply start beading through the other open end and make sure to push the beads all the way adjacent to the attached crimp.

Step 3: Start Beading

Step 4: Make Daisy Chain Pattern

Follow our previous tutorials (flower bead making) in sections one and two to make the flower bead chain.

Once the beading reaches the required length, bead the last bead through both ends and tighten the string.

Step 4: Make Daisy Chain Pattern

Step 5: Attach the 2nd Crimp Bead

Insert a crimp bead through the open end of the string and push it near the last bead. The loop of the crimp should be facing outwards.

Secure the crimp bead by inserting (circling) the string through its holes 2 times. Tie a knot and secure the knot inside the crimp and then cut off the extra string.

Tips for Beginners: How to Make Flower Bead Chain

  • Use a waxed cord or any kind of smooth cord for a neat finishing and smooth slide.
  • When measuring the cord, it’s better to keep an extra length as you can always cut off extra lengths but you won’t be able to add length if it’s too short.
  • You will need to select beads that have big holes so that you can thread them into the cord nicely.
  • Tie knots at the open ends after completing the bracelets, this will keep the open end strands of the cord secured from wearing off.
  • To make it extra secure, you can apply a drop of glue inside the crimp bead before closing it.
