Daisy Chains!

Here's another cute little DIY bracelet that almost anyone can get the hang of if the really try.

Ingrediends (what you need):
Seed beads in two different colours (same size)
Bugle beads (1cm long)
Beading thread
A beading needle
a clasp
Two (plus extra) callottes
Pair of pliers





1. Put on a callotte on one end. To do this, if it's a bottom hinged callotte, thread the thread through the hole at the bottom and tie a knot big enough so that the knot can't slip through and then close the outer bit over the knot. If it's side hinged, tie a big knot that the callotte can fit over and close the callotte.

2.Thread on 4 to 6 bugle beads, depending on how big you want the space in between each flower to be.

3. Add 6 seed beads on to the thread next.

4. Now, thread your needle through the first seed bead to form a loop, making sure you pass the thread through the same way as the first time.




5. Take a seed bead in another colour and thread it on.

6. Thread through the 4th seed bead, being sure the thread goes the same way it did the first time. You have just completed your first flower!  Continue steps 2-6 until you have your desired length.





7. Add another callotte and your clasp to finish.









Now you have a beautiful daisy chain necklace or bracelet to wear where ever you go!
I have a purple blue and yellow necklace which reaches to about 1/4 way down my belly. I love that length and it goes with so many things! These are nice for spring and add some interest to a button up or plain tank. Email me pictures of yours at mims.megs@hotmail.com

Tell me, did you try it?
