Daisy Chain Necklace


HERE IS A PATTERN FOR YOU TO CREATE YOUR OWN INDIAN SEED BEAD DAISY CHAIN NECKLACE.


When making the white and pink necklace on the left, I did 3 white daisies and then 3 pink daisies with a pearl in the middle of each.  The Glass Bead necklace on the right is made with silver glass beads with a clear one in the middle of each daisy.  Make these long enough to fit easily over your head and that way you do not need any findings.  If you want it shorter, you would need the findings to make clasps at both ends.  Magnetic ones are nice.  Once you get the hang of making these you can make a color for every outfit and they can be as plain or as elegant as you desire.  Suggestions:  Use all pearls or multifaceted clear glass beads for elegance.  Have fun and I would love to see pictures of your completed necklaces!

Materials Needed:
   Seed Beads
   Pearls
   Beading thread
   (findings optional)
