A daisy chain makes your day bright.Give it to someone as a symbol of friendship or wear it on your head and make it a flower-filled crown.You can learn how to make a daisy chain in just a few minutes.
Step 1: Pick out daisies.
The stems of daisies should be at least 10 cm long.For a more beautiful chain, look for healthy, fully open flowers.
Step 2: Attach your thumbnail to the stem.
Cut a small slit through the middle of the stem.Just below the flower or halfway down the stem is where you can cut it.If you have short fingernails, use a plastic knife.
Step 3: The daisy's stem should be thread through the slit.
The flower is snug against the slit if the base of the stem is pushed through.
Step 4: Take a number of daisies.
Push the third stem through the slit in the next daisy.Continue until you make a bracelet, crown, or necklace.Cut a second slit through the first stem if you think your daisy chain is long enough.To make a loop, push the last daisy through the slit.
Step 5: The daisy can be dry by air.
If you want to keep your daisy chain for a long time, hang it up to dry in a windy area.It could change color, but it should stay the same.
Step 6: The tallest flowers you can find.
The longer the stems are, the easier they are to braid.If you have a long, flexible stem and no thorns, you can use any flower.
Step 7: It's possible to strip off leaves.
Move your fingers downward as you pinch the stem.Continue until the leaves are torn off.It will be easier to see what you're doing.You can keep the leaves after you've made a couple chains.
Step 8: Three flowers with strong stems are what you should choose.
There are three flowers on a flat surface.Just below the blossoms, pinch the stems together.You will need to start over if any of the stems break.You're probably okay if stems break later.
Step 9: The right stem should be in the middle.
The stems cross when you press your thumb down.Take the stem on the right and bend it in between the other two.
Step 10: Under the right stem is the left stem.
Under the stem on the right, move the left stem over the middle stem.Make the braid tight by pulling the stems.It might break if you pull too hard.
Step 11: Continue with the braiding.
The right stem should be moved into the middle.Under the new right stem, bring the left stem over the middle.This pattern can be repeated three or four times.
Step 12: As you travel, add more flowers.
Pick up another flower after a few braids.Next to another stem, lay it down.braid the two stems as if they were one thick stem.Depending on how clustered you like them, add another flower every 2 crosses.
Step 13: Tuck in the stem's end.
Tuck the end of a stem into a gap between the others.The chain is less likely to break if they keep them all well-tucked.
Step 14: Go with plain stems.
Don't add new flowers when you reach the length you want.Continue braiding until you have 3 inches of bare stem.This should be brought back to the beginning of the braid.Wrap the two ends of the flowers together several times.
