8 Beautiful Beaded Flower Necklace Patterns You Can DIY at Home

There’s something endlessly joyful about floral jewelry — it’s feminine, timeless, and a great way to practice beadwork techniques. These eight beaded flower necklace patterns range from quick daisy chains you can make in an evening to more advanced statement pieces that use Miyuki half-tilas, Swarovski crystals, or French beading wirework. Each pattern below includes Skill level, Materials, Clear step-by-step instructions, and useful Tips & variations so you can make a piece that suits your style and experience. Let’s make something pretty!

1. DIY Daisy Necklace Pattern

Skill level: Beginner
Materials:

• 11/0 seed beads (white) — ~200 pcs
• 11/0 seed beads (yellow) — ~20 pcs
• Beading thread (Nymo or FireLine) and size 10 needle
• Clasp and crimp beads (or elastic for slip-on)

Instructions:

1. Thread about 60–80 cm of thread and secure a stopper bead near the end.
2. Make one daisy: pick up 6 white + 1 yellow + 6 white (13 beads). Pass back through the first white bead to form a ring so the yellow sits in the center and the 6 white form petals. Pull tension gently so the ring holds shape.
3. To join the next daisy, after finishing the first, pick up 3 white beads and use the 3rd bead as the new anchor: pick up 6 white + 1 yellow + 6 white, loop back through the anchor bead so the next daisy shares the anchor.
4. Repeat step 3 to make a chain of daisies until desired necklace length (12–18 daisies for a statement collar, fewer for a short necklace).
5. Leave enough thread to attach the clasp: weave the thread back through several daisies to reinforce, then attach crimp bead and clasp (or tie elastic and hide knot inside a bead).
6. Trim and burn or glue thread tail if using synthetic thread.

Tips & variations:

• Use 15/0 beads for daintier daisies or 8/0 for chunkier petals.
• Make a central pendant by adding three daisies grouped together rather than a full chain.
• Add clear seed beads between daisies for spacing and drape.

2. Crystal Beaded Flower Necklace Tutorial

Skill level: Beginner–Plus
Materials:

• 4 mm crystal bicones (Czech or Swarovski) — ~40 pcs
• 11/0 seed beads for connectors — ~200 pcs
• 4–6 mm round accent beads (metal or glass) — optional, 8–10 pcs
• Beading thread (FireLine) and needle
• Toggle clasp or lobster clasp and jump rings

Instructions:

1. Plan a repeating unit: 3 seed beads + 1 bicone + 3 seed beads + 1 round accent — this becomes the connector between crystal flower motifs.
2. Make a flower motif: pick up 6 bicones + 6 seed beads alternating then pass back through the first bicone to form a tight circle — bicones will reflect light as petals.
3. Reinforce the circle by passing the thread around the circle once more.
4. Join motifs: using the connector pattern, link each crystal flower to the next by passing through beads on the motif and adding connector beads — this spaces flowers evenly.
5. Continue until the chain reaches your neck measurement. Add clasp with crimp beads or stitched loop.
6. Give a final pass through the entire necklace pattern to firm up and trim excess thread.

Tips & variations:

• Use two bicone colors for ombré petals.
• Add a larger focal crystal in the center front by building a larger motif and centering it.
• For a lighter, floating effect, use clear beading thread and very small seed beads for connectors.

3. Flower Necklace Pattern using Miyuki Half Tila Beads

Skill level: Intermediate
Materials:

• Miyuki Half Tila beads (two-hole rectangular beads) — multiple colors for petals and centers
• 11/0 seed beads (for spacers)
• FireLine or Nymo thread and size 10/12 needle
• Clasp and jump rings

Instructions:

1. Understand basics: Half-tilas are two-hole beads that form a flat ladder when stitched. Plan flower petals as short ladder columns.
2. Create one petal: pick up 1 half-tila (vertical orientation) + 1 seed bead + 1 half-tila so you form a short stacked column (the seed bead sits above or below to create separation). Repeat to build 4–6 petals.
3. Join petals into a flower using the second hole of the half-tilas: pass the needle through adjacent half-tilas’ secondary holes and weave around to form a circular petal layout — pull gently to curve the flat structure into a round flower.
4. Add a contrasting center by stitching a small ring of 11/0 seed beads into the middle and weave through neighboring holes to secure.
5. Make multiple flowers and join them with ladder-stitched half-tila spacers or small seed-bead chains to create a collar or longer necklace.
6. Finish with a strong woven attachment to a clasp.

Tips & variations:

• Use Delica 11/0 as edge beads for ultra-clean edges.
• Half-tilas are great for geometric floral designs—experiment with 4-petal (square) and 6-petal (hex) layouts.
• A bead-loom small panel of half-tilas can become a focal plaque for your necklace.

4. French Beaded Orchid Flower Necklace Tutorial

Skill level: Advanced-Beginner (wirework)
Materials:

• 24–26 gauge art or floral wire (thin and flexible)
• 3–4 mm seed beads (petals) in orchid colors and 11/0 for accents
• 3–4 mm pearls or crystal centers (optional)
• Wire cutters, round-nose pliers, chain-nose pliers
• 20–24 gauge craft wire for stems and links
• Chain and clasp

Instructions:

1. French beading uses short wire segments threaded with seed beads to form petals. Cut a piece of wire ~12–15 cm. Thread beads for petal shape (e.g., 12 beads), bend wire back and twist the tails ~2–3 turns to close the petal.
2. Make 3–5 petals per orchid flower (orchids often have 3 larger petals, 2 smaller lateral petals, and a lip). Vary bead counts to shape sizes.
3. For the lip (center petal), use two tones and a few accent beads or a pearl. Twist tightly and tuck ends.
4. Use a 20–24 gauge stem wire: twist and bind petals together at their bases to form the orchid flower. Secure by wrapping extra thin wire around bases and cover with floral tape if you prefer a green stem look.
5. Make several orchid flowers and attach them along a short chain or wire-wrapped base. Connect with jump rings or craft wire loops to make a necklace length.
6. Add beaded leaves with green seed beads for a natural touch.

Tips & variations:

• Use a bead from the orchid family (faux pearl) for the center to give a luxe look.
• French beading takes patience—make 1 petal then repeat for uniformity.
• For a lighter necklace, space orchids with seed-bead chains.

5. Seed Bead Flower Swarovski Necklace Pattern

Skill level: Intermediate
Materials:

• Swarovski crystal bicones (4–6 mm) — centers or petal accents
• 11/0 and 15/0 seed beads (for petals & accents)
• Beading thread (FireLine) and needle
• Clasp and crimp beads

Instructions:

1. Build a flower motif with a Swarovski center: pick up 1 bicone + 4 seed beads (11/0) + repeat and loop back so the bicone sits in center surrounded by seed beads as a bezel.
2. Add petals by picking up sequences of 15/0 and 11/0 beads radiating outward from the center, using peyote or netting stitch to form petal shapes.
3. Reinforce by weaving through the motif twice. Create 5–7 motifs total depending on necklace length.
4. Join motifs with small seed-bead bridges or elegant chain links made from seed beads. This gives sparkle at every flower center.
5. Attach clasp using fringe of seed beads or a woven beaded band.

Tips & variations:

• Use crystal bicones as both centers and petal highlights for extra sparkle.
• A single large Swarovski pendant flower paired with a simple seed-bead chain makes a quick elegant piece.

6. Pearl Beaded Flower Necklace Tutorial

Skill level: Beginner+
Materials:

• Freshwater pearls (3–5 mm) — for centers and chain
• 11/0 seed beads (for petals & spacer)
• Beading thread and needle
• Sliding clasp or lobster clasp & crimp beads

Instructions:

1. Make a pearl-centered flower: pick up 1 pearl + 6 seed beads around it, stitching into a ring so the seed beads form petals around the pearl (you may make larger petals by adding more 11/0s per petal).
2. Repeat to create multiple pearl-flower motifs. For a delicate strand, alternate 4–5 seed beads + pearl center sequences down the strand.
3. Join motifs with short seed-bead chains (6–8 beads between motifs) to let pearls sit comfortably and not rub.
4. For a choker, cluster three pearl flowers centrally and finish with simple seed-bead chain on both sides.
5. Secure ends with crimp beads and attach clasp.

Tips & variations:

• Use lustrous ivory pearls for classic looks or colored freshwater pearls for modern palettes.
• Knotting between each pearl (silk knotting technique) will protect pearls and create lovely drape.

7. Super-sized Beaded Daisy Chain Necklace Pattern

Skill level: Beginner–Plus
Materials:

• 8–10 mm large round beads (for centers) — 8–10 pcs
• 6–8 mm or 11/0 seed beads for petals — quantity varies
• Strong beading thread (FireLine) or bead cord
• Clasp or elastic (for slip-on style)

Instructions:

1. Make one super-sized daisy: center a large round bead; using thread, stitch 8–10 petal loops of seed beads around it (e.g., 5–8 seed beads per petal), anchoring at the base of the center bead. Pull gently so petals sit flush.
2. Reinforce by passing the thread through each petal and center again.
3. Space daisies along a strand with short spacer sections of seed beads (6–10 beads) or small accent beads.
4. Repeat daisies until you reach desired length. Finish with clasp or tie elastic ends.

Tips & variations:

• Large beads work great as focal points — try wooden or resin centers for bold summer looks.
• Wear as a short statement collar or longer lariat by adding more spacers.

8. Elegant Pearl Floral Beaded Necklace Tutorial

Skill level: Intermediate
Materials:

• 4–6 mm pearls (freshwater or glass) — for strand and flower centers
• 11/0 Miyuki seed beads (metallic for sheen) — for petals and accents
• Beading thread (Silamide or FireLine) and needle
• Clasp & crimp beads

Instructions:

1. Make elegant flower motifs: create a small ring of seed beads (6–8 beads), place a pearl in the center, and stitch a second row of seed beads that forms delicate petals (use 15/0 for finer petals if desired).
2. Reinforce motifs and flatten so they sit well on the neckline.
3. Construct a balanced layout: place 3–5 motifs symmetrically at the front center of a pearl strand, with single pearls or small seed-bead spacers along the rest of the strand.
4. Attach with crimps and finish with a quality clasp. For the most refined finish, weave the thread back and hide inside the nearest pearl hole.

Tips & variations:

• Use a mix of matte and glossy pearls/seed beads for subtle depth.
• Keep motifs smaller for a delicate evening look; enlarge them for bridal statement necklaces.
