How To Make A Daisy Chain
Today’s feature is from Alice Hayes at FlowerBud.com with the tip how to make a daisy chain
I just discovered that not everyone knows how to make a daisy chain! In my mind, learning how to make flower jewelry was a natural part of childhood, like learning to jump rope or ride a bike. And aside from any natural upbringing, I assumed the daisy chain-making was a general rite of passage.
This method will work with daisies, pansies, poppies, buttercups and other single-headed flowers.
Very cute tip and nope, I don’t recall ever making a daisy chain as a child :gasp:.

Thank you for the instructions to make a daisy chain. I have made very bad ones all my life, so I knew I was doing something wrong. My grandmother passed away yesterday, and I wanted to do something special for her flowers. She loved to garden (like me) but didn’t like formal cut flowers. We live on her farm, and I know she would love a long daisy chain mixed with a few roses for her ‘formal’ casket arrangement. I am going to the florist tomorrow, with your instructions in hand, and if they can’t do it, I will. Thanks again so very much.

I was chatting with a friend and daisy chains came up in conversation she said she always desired to do them ..so I explained how I would do them and desired to do a search for her on the internet …I made mine totally different …we braided them and as one stem got short we braided in a new daisy and the braided chain was dotted with daisies all around it simple knots or ribbions were used to keep it together ,,my sister and I lived in the country andwe made them this way and wore them all the time as well…

Wanted to mention for those that might need clarification (like me!) that you don’t split the whole stalk - it’s more just making a 1/2 inch slit/opening in the stem below the flower to thread the next stem through - like you’d thread a needle…
And Jonie - I love the idea of braiding them!
