  1. Homemade Toys - How to Make a Necklace of Daisies

    Share Share Post
    You gather a lot of daisies together, then you make a hole in the stock of the daisy and put the end of the stock of another daisy into the hole. So you continue on like that till you have a long chain made.
    Another way of making a daisy chains is to break the stocks off the daisies and leave the heads. Then you get a needle and thread and place the needle through the centre of the daisy till you have the thread filled. This makes a nice necklace.
