- Before you begin, watch the video: How to Make a Dagger Bead Daisy Ring. This video will demonstrate the steps for making this project.
- Select ten 10x3mm dagger beads in the color of your choice from the bead mix and string them onto a 2' length of smoke grey Fireline beading thread. 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 hematite 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 a gun metal color 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.
- Repeat this process to complete your three additional rings.
- Allow the glue to dry thoroughly before wearing.
