Bloomkiss Necklace Tutorial

The Bloomkiss Necklace is a fun and floral beading project that combines daisy chain techniques with dimensional embellishments using pearls, seed beads, DropDuos, and optional dagger beads. The tutorial walks viewers through the creation of seed bead flowers built around pearls, followed by the addition of hanging DropDuo flower elements and leaf-like accents that give the piece an organic, garden-inspired feel. With room for customization in spacing, petal count, and additional charms or daggers, the design is approachable for beginners and still offers depth for more advanced beaders. The final necklace has a whimsical, romantic charm perfect for spring and summer.

    Quick Project Steps

    Start the Daisy Chain Base: Thread a stop bead. Add 1 × 6mm pearl → 6 × 11/0s (for flower loop). Stitch through the pearl again to form a ring of petals. Space the Flowers: Add: 1 × 11/0 → 1 × 8/0 → 1 × 11/0, then repeat the flower structure. Continue adding pearls and petal loops, separated by the above pattern, until you reach your desired necklace length. Create Hanging Flower with DropDuos: Exit below a central 8/0 or flower base. Add: 1 × 11/0 → 1 DropDuo (bottom hole). Repeat to form a circle of 6 DropDuos, separated by 11/0s. Connect last DropDuo to the first to close the flower. Embellish Petals: Go through top holes of DropDuos. Between each: Add 1 × 15/0 → 1 × 11/0 → 1 × 15/0 (loop embellishment). Add Center Bead: Exit from any top DropDuo. Add: 1 × 11/0 → 1 × 6mm pearl → 1 × 11/0. Stitch across to the opposite DropDuo to anchor the pearl in the center. Add Optional Dagger Beads: Exit from an 8/0 or side loop. Add: 1 × 11/0 → 1 dagger bead → 1 × 11/0, stitch back to form a dangling bud. Attach Clasp: Exit a final seed bead at the end of the necklace. Add: 2 × 11/0s → wire guard → clasp → back through guard → 2 × 11/0s. Stitch back into the work and reinforce the clasp area. Finish & Secure Threads: Reinforce key areas by stitching through beads again. Tie discreet knots between beads and trim or burn excess thread.

    The website was easy to use and I found what I needed right away. The only thing I would like to see is other sizes offered in those products because I would've loved to have made the earrings a little bit bigger.

    I saw your ad for this kit on Facebook and I jumped on it, since I know how quickly kits can sell out!

    My package contents came in damaged. I had to glue several pieces before putting tubes in case. Love the idea of it. Better packaging will be helpful. The trays had some tabs that broke off during shipping. The tape used to hold the trays together left a sticky film on the acrylic. It's not often that this happens with Potomac Beads. I will still shop their stuff.
