How do I make/start a daisy chain?

I want to know how to make it using little seed beads.

How do I make/start a daisy chain?
Is this what you are looking for?

Reply:Here, I think this might be what you're looking for. Instructions are by Ann Benson, respected professional designer in the bead community. Comes in PDF format, so you'll need to download Adobe Reader for free.
Reply:Here's how I learned:


1) String eight seed beads.


2) Go back through the first bead.


3) String one seed bead.


4) Look at how your beads lay. The thread that the most recent bead is one should lay between two of the other beads. Find the two beads opposite these, and go through one of them.


5) string two beads.


6) Remember those two beads I told you to find? Go through 'em.


7) Go through the two beads you just strung.


8) Add six seed beads, repeat steps one through seven until you've reached the desired length.


Note: this looks quite similar to one of the links someone posted, except the joining of each daisy is a lot sturdier and looks a bit better.
