These beaded daisy bracelets are so fun! Colorful flowers on your wrist are the perfect accessory, and they are incredibly easy to make. In this post, I’m going to show you how to make three styles of seed bead daisy flower bracelets.
Everything You Need To Make Seed Bead Daisy Flower Bracelets
In this post, I’m going to show you how to make daisy chain beaded bracelets step by step. These bracelets are really easy to make, and you can customize them with different beads and colors. Once you learn the basics, you’ll be able to make your own fun flower designs!
Here are the three beaded flower bracelet patterns I’ll show you in this post:

✿ Daisy Flower with Leaves Beaded Bracelet
✿ Zig Zag Daisy Flower Beaded Bracelet
Bracelet Crimps + Closures
Each of these daisy flower bracelets begins the same way — by attaching the jewelry crimps and closures on one end. So follow these few steps for whatever bracelet you make:
1.Cut 4 ft (122 cm) of braided beading thread
The thread you use for these seed bead daisy flower bracelets is super important. Seed beads are tiny and these daisy designs require looping through a single bead multiple times. The beading thread is thin enough to pass through the beads a few times, and strong enough to keep the daisies’ flower shape crisp/not saggy.
2. Fold the thread in half and apply a crimp to the folded end
With the type of crimps I used, I insert the two tail ends down through the loop-end of the crimp tube and then drag the crimp toward the folded end of my beading thread. There are a lot of different jewelry crimps available and any of them will work; I like these because they already have a loop built-in at the end.
Secure the crimp with a crimping tool to ensure your thread won’t slip out.
Now that you’ve attached your jewelry crimp and closure, you’re ready to get started making a seed bead daisy flower bracelet!
Daisy Flower Beaded Bracelet
This is the easiest of the three seed bead flower bracelets that I’ll be sharing, and a good place to start learning these beading techniques.
1. Insert each end of the beading thread through opposite ends of a bead so that the thread forms an ‘X’.Drag the bead down.
This bead is the beginning of the flower, so choose whatever color you want the flower petals to be. You insert one end of the beading through one side of the bead and insert the other end of the beading thread through the other side of the bead. This forms an ‘X’ shape in the beading thread.
Pull each end of the thread to drag the bead down to the base of the thread.
2. Add two beads onto one end of beading thread. Add two beads onto the other end of beading thread. Drag the beads down.
These four beads are petals of the same flower so they should be the same color as the bead in Step 1.
3. Insert both ends of the beading thread together through a bead. Drag the bead down.
This bead will be the center of your flower and should be a different color than the petal beads. You insert both ends of the beading thread together into the the bead.
3a. Fold the center bead forward and upside down so that the tail ends of beading thread are pointing down towards the jewelry closure.
3b. Insert one end of the beading thread up through the bottom of the two beads on the right.
3c. Insert the other end of the beading thread up through the bottom of the two beads on the left.
4. Pull both ends of the beading thread so that the beads all cinch together.
Tug on each end of the beading thread so that the beads all gather together to form the flower. You may want to adjust the center bead to be slightly more forward/on top of the flower petal beads as you tighten the thread. This will help the flower be more even and give the flower more dimension.
5. Insert each end of the beading thread through opposite ends of a bead so that it forms an ‘X’.Drag the bead down.
This is the final bead of the flower and should be the same color as the other flower petal beads.
Repeat Steps 1 – 5 until the bracelet reaches your desired length.
Keep in mind that the final crimp and jump ring will add length to your bracelet, so adjust accordingly.
This daisy bracelet design is basically identical to the previous, but with an additional step to add little leaves in between the daisies.
1. Insert each end of the beading thread through opposite ends of a bead so that the thread forms an ‘X’.Drag the bead down.
This bead is the beginning of the flower, so choose whatever color you want the flower petals to be. You insert one end of the beading through one side of the bead and insert the other end of the beading thread through the other side of the bead. This forms an ‘X’ shape in the beading thread.
Pull each end of the thread to drag the bead down to the base of the thread.
2. Add two beads onto one end of beading thread. Add two beads onto the other end of beading thread. Drag the beads down.
These four beads are petals of the same flower so they should be the same color as the bead in Step 1.
3. Insert both ends of the beading thread together through a bead. Drag the bead down.
This bead will be the center of your flower and should be a different color than the flower petal beads. You insert both ends of the beading thread together into the the bead.
3a. Fold the center bead forward and upside down so that the tail ends of beading thread are pointing down towards the jewelry closure.
3b. Insert one end of the beading thread up through the bottom of the two beads on the right.
3c. Insert the other end of the beading thread up through the bottom of the two beads on the left.
4. Pull both ends of the beading thread so that the beads all cinch together.
Tug on each end of the beading thread so that the beads all gather together to form the flower. You may want to adjust the center bead to be slightly more forward/on top of the flower petal beads as you tighten the thread. This will help the flower be more even and give the flower more dimension.
5. Insert each end of the beading thread through opposite ends of a bead so that it forms an ‘X’.Drag the bead down.
This is the final bead of the flower and should be the same color as the other flower petal beads.
6. Add one bead onto one end of beading thread. Add one bead onto the other end of beading thread. Drag the beads down.
These two beads are the leaves of the flower so they can be a new color. You could also think of them as just spacers between the beaded daisies.
Repeat Steps 1 – 6 until the bracelet reaches one daisy-length short of your desired length.
Keep in mind that the final crimp and jump ring will add length to your bracelet, so adjust accordingly.
Repeat Steps 1 – 5 once more.
Ending with a final daisy (vs ending after the leaves) makes it easier to apply the final crimp and jump ring.
7. Apply crimp and jump ring
Insert both ends of the beading thread into the crimp and drag it down. With the type of crimps I used, I insert the two tail ends up through the tube-end of the crimp so that the tail ends point towards the loop-end. Secure the crimp with a crimping tool and snip the excess beading thread.
The zig zag daisy bracelet is the trickiest of the three that I am sharing, but it’s also very easy. In the other two bracelets, we made an ‘X’ shape through the first and final bead in the flower design which causes the flowers to be centered.
With the zig zag daisy bracelet, the final bead is offset so that the next flower is slightly shifted.
1. Insert each end of the beading thread through opposite ends of a bead so that the thread forms an ‘X’.Drag the bead down.
This bead is the beginning of the flower, so choose whatever color you want the flower petals to be. You insert one end of the beading through one side of the bead and insert the other end of the beading thread through the other side of the bead. This forms an ‘X’ shape in the beading thread.
Pull each end of the thread to drag the bead down to the base of the thread.
2. Add two beads onto one end of beading thread. Add two beads onto the other end of beading thread. Drag the beads down.
These four beads are petals of the same flower so they should be the same color as the bead in Step 1.
3. Insert both ends of the beading thread together through a bead. Drag the bead down.
This bead will be the center of your flower and should be a different color than the petal beads. You insert both ends of the beading thread together into the the bead.
3a. Fold the center bead forward and upside down so that the tail ends of beading thread are pointing down towards the jewelry closure.
3b. Insert one end of the beading thread up through the bottom of the two beads on the right.
3c. Insert the other end of the beading thread up through the bottom of the two beads on the left.
4. Pull both ends of the beading thread so that the beads all cinch together.
Tug on each end of the beading thread so that the beads all gather together to form the flower. You may want to adjust the center bead to be slightly more forward/on top of the flower petal beads as you tighten the thread. This will help the flower be more even and give the flower more dimension.
5. Alternate between the “Zig Zag Pattern – Left” and “Zig Zag Pattern – Right”.
The zig zag pattern is created by alternating the placement of the final flower bead. So as you work Step 5, start with Zig Zag Pattern – Left. Then on the next repeat, you will work Zig Zag Pattern – Right.
*ZIG ZAG PATTERN – LEFT*
A. Add one bead onto the end of the left beading thread. Drag the bead down.
This is the final bead of the flower and should be the same color as the other flower petal beads.
B. Insert the end of the left beading thread down through the top of the first bead on the right.
This sets up the next flower to begin slightly off to the right.
*ZIG ZAG PATTERN – RIGHT*
A. Add one bead onto the end of the right beading thread. Drag the bead down.
This is the final bead of the flower and should be the same color as the other flower petal beads.
B. Insert the end of the right beading thread down through the top of the first bead on the left.
This sets up the next flower to begin slightly off to the left.
Repeat Steps 1 – 5, alternating between either Zig Zag Pattern – Left or Zig Zag Pattern – Right for Step 5.Work repeats until you reach your desired length.
Keep in mind that the final crimp and jump ring will add length to your bracelet, so adjust accordingly.
6. Apply crimp and jump ring
Insert both ends of the beading thread into the crimp and drag it down. With the type of crimps I used, I insert the two tail ends up through the tube-end of the crimp so that the tail ends point towards the loop-end. Secure the crimp with a crimping tool and snip the excess beading thread.
Using pliers, open a 5mm jump ring and attach it to the crimp loop. Close the jump ring.
I did this beaded zig zag daisy bracelet tutorial with these beautiful and perfectly symmetrical 11/0 seed beads I found on etsy. I got a mix of a lot of colors and then sorted them. I stored them in these same containers. These beads make the daisies look super crisp. Even though they are more expensive than the other beads sets, they are so uniform and make a perfect bracelet.
