So much fun to make in any colors you want! :)
So much fun to make in any colors you want! :)
Start by adding 7 pink beads to string (I use waxed dental floss and a small regular needle)
Bring needle to the first pink bead and pull through to make circle
Add 1 white bead and place in the middle of the circle
take needle and bring through the 4th pink bead, which is the middle top bead
Pull securely and add 2 white beads. Continue from beginning making sure beads are pulled together so there is no separation of the string of flowers.
Continue to desired length making sure to remember to keeping the beads close together. End by either adding clasps for closure.
When I don't have a clasp handy and I am making a bracelet or anklet, I just wrap it around my wrist or ankle, sew it together by going through the last bead circle twice to ensure it won't fall apart. Then I tie a secure knot, trim and CAREFULLY use a lighter (at your own risk) to melt ends of dental floss and with my finger I push the knot as close to the bead and it usually blends in so you can't see it. When making a necklace without a clasp, make sure it's large enough to go over your head! lol.
