Flowers are so pretty! Here’s how to make a beaded flower choker…
I’ve already shown you how to make a cute daisy chain necklace, but here’s a way to add a bit of edge to your floral bead designs… a daisy chain choker necklace! This tutorial gives you all the steps to follow to make a beaded choker necklace using glass seed beads and tiger tail wire. Please note that this tutorial contains affiliate links.
You’ll need these tools and materials to make your beaded flower choker:
1: Pliers. I used my cutting, round nose and flat nose pliers.
2: Tiger tail wire, because of the looping to create the flowers, you need a bit extra than the intended length. I cut about 1.5m of wire and had some leftover that I will use in another design.
3: A clasp and jump ring.
4: Crimp beads.
5: Beads. I used some recycled red seed beads for the flowers and some green and purple seed beads for the rest of the choker.

Follow these steps to make your cute flower choker necklace:
1: Add two crimps to the end of the wire.
2: Add the clasp to the wire and fold it around and back through the crimps.
3: Squash the crimp beads using the flat nose pliers.
4: Add the green beads to the wire. I added 10 beads but you can add more or less depending on the pattern you want to make.
5: Add 6 red beads (or whatever colour you chose for your flowers) to the wire.
6: Take the end of the wire and thread it through the first red bead.
7: Pull the wire tight to create a circle shape with the beads. Make sure you shift the beads down as you tighten the wire so that the circle sits closely to the green beads.
8: Add a single bead to the wire in your third colour, this will be the middle of the bead.
9: Place the bead in the middle of the flower and then thread the end of the wire through one of the flower beads to secure the middle bead in place. Now you have your first flower.
10: Repeat steps 4 to 9 until you have a length that fits closely around your neck to make a choker.
11: Add the second set of crimp beads and a jump ring to the wire.
12: Loop the wire around the jump ring and back through the crimps and the beads at the end of the necklace, pulling the wire tight.
13: Squash the crimps using the flat nose pliers.
14: Trim the excess wire.
Now your floral choker is finished and ready to wear! How cute! What colours will you use in yours?
Here’s what it looks like on!
