Learn how to make little creoles with Miyuki seed beads flowers with this tutorial. They are directly inspired by the 90s and the nostalgic daisy bracelets. By the way, we already published a tutorial a while ago that reinterpreted the flower bracelets with Miyuki delicas 11/0. Don't hesitate to check it out.
No weaving this time. This is a very simple macramé technique: The macramé overhand knot is the only knot, and the only technique used in this tutorial. It is the basic macramé knot. The beads are simply threaded on the threads and on the creole as you go along. However, this is a tutorial that requires a little skill, because the beads will often tend to slip! You will have to hold the beads and the creole and make the knot at the same time. This is why the tutorial is rated as intermediate.
We offer here a very colourful version of these creoles, but you can also make them in pastel or cream colours. We have hundreds of colours of seed beads on our site. Be careful if you change some of the products: the beads must slide easily on the creoles and the thread must pass easily through the hole of the beads.

Cut 40 cm of thread and tie it on the creole. The two ends of the thread should be the same length. Flatten the end of the creole slightly with flat tongs. You should be able to get the white beads through. Thread 3 seed beads on each end of the thread.
You will make a macramé overhand knot to separate each flower. Pass Thread A over the creole and Thread B over Thread A, under the creole and through the loop created by Thread A. Tighten the knot, being careful that the beads do not slip.
Make a second knot, reversing the direction. Thread C now goes under the creole and thread D under thread C, over the creole and through the loop of thread C.
Thread a new white bead on the creole and 3 more beads on each end of the thread and repeat steps 2 and 3. You can make up to 18 flowers on the creole. To finish, cut the wire at 4 mm from the last knot and burn the wire end carefully, either with a lighter or with a wire burner. The melted material must touch the knot to be glued. Add a touch of glue to solidify the knot.
