Gather Your Materials
To make a flower bead bracelet, you’ll need:
- Beading wire or elastic beading cord
- Beading needle
- Crimp beads and crimping pliers (for beading wire)
- Clasp
- Fresh flowers and flower press
- Clear drying resin or UV resin
- Small silicone molds or beads
- Jump rings, wire, and wire cutters
Flowers like daisies, roses, wildflowers, lavender, and baby’s breath work great for pressing and casting into bead form. Choose your favorite blooms!
Press and Cast the Flowers
Start by pressing your flowers in a heavy book to dry them flat. Leave for 1-2 weeks until completely dried.
Mix your resin according to package directions. Carefully pour a thin layer into molds or beads. Gently place pressed flowers inside. Top with more resin, filling molds completely. Let resin fully cure for 1-2 days.
Pop out your customized flower beads! Repeat with different flowers for variety.
Cut Beading Cord and Attach Clasp
Cut your beading wire or elastic cord to your desired bracelet length. Use a crimp bead and pliers to secure one end of the wire to one side of the clasp.
On elastic cord, simply tie a secure knot around one clasp ring.
String and Knot Between Beads
Time to assemble your bracelet! Thread your beads onto the beading cord in your preferred pattern. Space beads close together so they touch.
On beading wire, knot between each bead to keep them in place. On elastic cord, the tension will hold the beads.
Attach Other Clasp End
Once your beads are strung, secure the loose wire end to the other side of the clasp with a crimp bead. For elastic, tie a knot around the remaining clasp ring.
Finish and Wear It
Attach jump rings to connect both sides of the clasp together. Trim any excess cord. Then style your gorgeous homemade flower bead bracelet!
Making your own flower bead jewelry allows you to create customized, one-of-a-kind designs featuring your favorite flowers. Try experimenting with different color palettes, beads, and bloom varieties for endless unique creations to wear or give to loved ones.
