string 6 or 8 beads of one color and then tie in circle or go through circle a few times if you don't want to tie it off... ad on one bead of another color . If you have used 6 beads.. bring your needle down through the bead exactly 3 away from where you tied off... add on 4 more beads of the original color and come through the bead on top of the one you just came through. add on another bead of the opposite color and repeat.. if you used 8 beads, then you would put it through the fourth bead and add on 6 to start you flowers after that. Different color variations can add leaves or designs in a daisy chain. Horace Goohue's book on off loom beading has different patterns for daisy chain.

Ah heck... check out this link LOL!
