How to Make the Daisy Chain Wrap Bracelet:

Materials list:

--Size 6 seed beads in your choice of a petal color

--Size 6 seed beads in your choice of a center color

--Bugle beads in a color of your choice

--(2) size 11 seed beads

--(2) bottom-clamp bead tips

--A toggle clasp

--(2) 5mm jump rings

--A beading needle and beading thread

--Two pairs of pliers

--Scissors

--A ruler

--Glue

Instructions:

1. Measure and cut a 72" length of string. String on a size 11 seed bead. Tie a few knots around the bead to keep it in place. Thread your needle on the other end of the string. Slide on a bead tip and bring it close to the bead on the other end.

2. Now that you have your end prepared, it's time to start beading. String on three bugle beads. How to make a beaded daisy: String on four petal beads and center bead. Slide them all down to meet with the bead tip. Now take your needle and pass it up through the first petal bead. Pull the string all the way through. String on two more petal beads. Pass the needle down through the bottom petal bead--right under the center bead. Pull the string all the way through. Your first beaded daisy is complete! Repeat this sequence--three bugle beads and a beaded daisy--until you reach your desired finished length. Leave off with three bugle beads for a consistent look. My bracelet measured out to be about 24" -- perfect length to be wrapped around my wrist three times.

3. Before finishing off your bracelet, tighten your work by gently pulling your beads towards the bead tip. String on a bead tip and a size 11 seed bead. Take needle off and begin to tie a knot around the size 11 seed bead. Take the needle and insert it into the open knot. Pull the knot down to the bead tip using the needle. Get the bead as close to the bead tip as possible before removing the needle. Tie a couple more knots around the bead tip for added security. To make sure the knots won't come out, it's best to seal them with glue. Just dab a little glue onto each of the ends. After the glue has dried thoroughly, cut the excess string. Close the bead tips with your pliers. Then attach your clasp to the bead tips using jump rings.
