- Before you begin, watch the video: How to Make a Dagger Bead Daisy Ring. This video will demonstrate the steps for making this project.
- String 10 black 3x10mm dagger beads onto a 2' length of black Wildfire beading thread and tie a knot a few inches from the tail end of the thread.
- Bring your needle through the next dagger bead, then string a 4mm aurum gold druk bead.
- Enter the dagger beads directly across from where you exited them and bring your needle through the next 5 dagger beads moving in the opposite direction as before.
- Go back through the druk bead, then go through the other 5 dagger beads back in the original direction. Tie off and weave in your thread.
- Place a thin layer of E6000 glue onto the glue pad of an antique brass adjustable ring.
- Center the beaded daisy onto the glue pad and press into place. Make sure that it's centered and that the "petals" are arranged evenly.
- Allow the glue to dry thoroughly before wearing.
