How to Make a Daisy Chain



How to make a flower necklace

Spring is here (or near) and the daisies are blooming!




Nothing says "childhood" like an inviting patch of green clovers, and delicate white flowers.




The next time you come across these sweet signs of spring, try this simple craft.

First, pick a batch of flowers, trying to select the ones with long stems.


For the next step, I used a pocket knife, but your fingernail can work just as well.


Cut a small slit in the end of one of the stems. Be careful that it doesn't go all the way to the edge.

Next, thread the end of another flower through the hole you've just created. This should feel like threading a needle.


Then, gently pull one stem through the other, until the flower itself stops it from going any farther.

After that, repeat the process over again, making a hole in the stem of the most recently added flower. Continue to do this until you have reached your desired length.


Soon you should have a chain of flowers!

Loop it around your neck, and tie a loose knot in the back.
Enjoy!




These can be made into crowns, bracelets, necklaces and more!



Also, after making these sweet chains, you may want to enjoy the classic book Daisy-Head Mayzie
