How to Make a Spring Daisy Chain. Flower children of the world -- unite and make your own daisy
chains to wear as crowns, necklaces, or bracelets. You will need Daisies and knife (optional).
Step 1. Pick flowers for your chain. Use a variety of daisies with different colors and
shapes. You will need about 40 small flowers for a loose necklace, 25 for a crown, and
about 15 for a bracelet. Step 2. Pinch the stems to cut them at about 4 inches. You can
cut them longer or shorter depending on whether you want a looser or a tighter, busier daisy
chain. Step 3. Use a fingernail to make slits through the stems, either just below the flower
or at the stem's midpoint. If the stems are especially narrow or if you don't have long
enough fingernails, you can make the slits with a knife. Step 4. Thread the stem of one
flower through the slit in the stem of another flower until the bloom is against the slit.
Step 5. Continue adding flowers until you achieve the length you want. Step 6. Finish
the loop of daisies by making a second slit in the stem of the first flower and slipping
the stem of the last flower through it. Now make crowns and jewelry for all of your friends
and look beautiful in your new, all-natural accessories. Did you know The total number
of known flowering plant species exceeds 250,000.
