What You Will Need

  • Beads: You will need a mix of shapes and colors:
    • Yellow Beads: Round, smooth beads for the daisy centers.
    • Pearl Beads: Teardrop or rice-shaped white pearls for the flower petals.
    • Turquoise Beads: Small, round turquoise or teal beads for the spacers and the necklace chain.
    • Crystal Beads: Small clear or faceted crystal beads (optional, but adds a lovely sparkle between the turquoise).
  • Beading Wire: Flexible, thin beading wire (0.3mm or 0.4mm) in a silver color.
  • Beading Needle: A thin, sharp needle (size 10 or 12).
  • Clasps & Findings:
    • 1 x Lobster Clasp.
    • 2 x Jump Rings.
    • 2 x Crimp Beads (small silver tubes to secure the wire).
  • Tools:
    • Wire cutters.
    • Flat-nose pliers (for crimping).
    • Scissors.

Step-by-Step Tutorial: Building the Daisy Necklace

This pattern uses a clever looping technique to create 3D daisies directly on the wire. Follow these 6 steps carefully.

Step 1: Create the Flower Foundation

  • Take your beading wire and thread your needle.
  • String your first bead onto the wire: 1 Yellow center bead.
  • Next, string on 1 White pearl petal and 1 Turquoise spacer bead.
  • (See the first panel of the diagram).

Step 2: Add the Second Petal

  • Loop the wire around and go back through the Yellow center bead.
  • String on 1 White pearl petal and 1 Turquoise spacer bead again.
  • Pull the wire tightly so the petal rests firmly against the yellow center.
  • (See the second panel of the diagram).

Step 3: Complete the Daisy Flower

  • Repeat the process from Step 2: Pass the wire through the Yellow center bead. Add 1 White pearl petal and 1 Turquoise spacer bead.
  • Do this 3 times until you have a total of 5 White pearl petals surrounding the Yellow center bead.
  • To close the loop and secure the daisy, pass the wire back through the Yellow center bead one last time and pull it tight.
  • You now have a perfect, five-petaled daisy! (See the third panel).
  • Pro-Tip: Make 6 to 7 of these daisy flowers, leaving a few inches of wire between each.

Step 4: Connect the Daisies

  • Take a long piece of beading wire.
  • String on the beads that will form the “chain” between your flowers: 1 Turquoise spacer bead, 1 Crystal bead, 1 Turquoise spacer bead.
  • Attach one of your finished daisies to the wire by passing the wire through the center of the daisy and back out.
  • Continue this pattern: Spacer, Crystal, Spacer, Daisy.
  • Assemble them in a beautiful, U-shaped necklace arc. (See the fourth panel).

Step 5: Add the Clasp

  • Once your necklace reaches the desired length, it’s time to finish the ends.
  • Thread the wire through a Crimp bead.
  • Thread the wire through a Jump ring.
  • Pass the wire back through the Crimp bead.
  • Use your flat-nose pliers to squeeze the Crimp bead flat, securing the jump ring in place.
  • Do this on both sides of the necklace.
  • Attach a Lobster clasp to one side via the jump ring. (See the fifth panel).

Step 6: The Finished Masterpiece

  • Use your wire cutters to trim any excess wire close to the crimp beads.
  • Your Beaded Daisy Pearl Necklace is now complete!
  • Lay it flat and gently adjust the daisies so they sit perfectly.
  • The finished look is stunning, cheerful, and perfectly boho. ✨

Pro-Tips for a Perfect Daisy Necklace

  • Tension is Everything: When you are looping the wire back through the yellow bead to add each new petal (Step 2 & 3), pull the wire firmly. If the wire is loose, the daisy petals will flop around instead of standing upright in a 3D circle.
  • Use Quality Beads: Uniformity is key. Use high-quality glass pearls and round beads. If the beads are slightly different sizes, your daisies may look lopsided.
  • Plan Your Layout: Before you start stringing the daisies onto the main chain (Step 4), lay your finished daisies out on a flat surface and arrange them in a pleasing arc. This helps you visualize how the final necklace will drape.
  • Customize Your Colors: This pattern is incredibly versatile. Swap the yellow center for a navy blue, the white pearls for pale pink, and the turquoise for silver for a completely different look!

Creative Ways to Style Your Daisy Necklace

This cheerful necklace is a summer staple. Here is how to wear it:

  • Summer Sundress: Pair it with a bright yellow, white, or floral sundress for the ultimate sunny day look.
  • Casual Tee: Add a pop of color to a simple white t-shirt and jeans. The necklace elevates any casual outfit.
  • Layered Boho: Layer this necklace with a long, thin gold chain and some stacked beaded bracelets for a full bohemian vibe.
  • Bridal Party Gift: Make a set of these for your bridesmaids! They make gorgeous, meaningful, handmade gifts.

Conclusion

The Beaded Daisy Pearl Necklace is a beautiful example of how a few simple beading techniques can create something truly special. With just a needle, some wire, and a handful of colorful beads, you can weave your own garden of flowers to wear around your neck.
