For Abby's bracelet, we tied off the ends and threaded them back through the beads.ĭidn't it turn out cute? I was surprised at how quickly she was able to pick it up. Just continue the pattern until you reach the desired length. Abra-Cadabra! A la Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwiches! Let's magically push the 'transparency' button to see how the thread works inside the daisy. Pull it nice and taught (but don't pull too tight- just snug). and thread the end through the bead next to the purple 'center' bead that is NOT attached to the green 'stem' beads. Then begin your flower by threading four yellow 'petal' beads and 1 purple 'center' bead.īring your thread through the first yellow 'petal' bead (the one next to the green bead) and pull all the way through.īe sure to make sure the beads are all nice and squeezed up together when it is all pulled together like so:

For each section you will need the following beads (of course, feel free to change up the colors): To begin, take a green bead and thread the end around and through it to make it secure so you don't have to worry about the beads falling off the end.Īdd 2 (or more) green beads for your 'stem'. The younger girls used these as they are perfect for little hands, but for older girls, I think seed beads and a needle and beading thread are the best. I will be using pony beads and plastic thread for this tutorial so you can see what's being done easier.
