How to Make a Daisy Chain

A daisy chain is a simple and beautiful way to make natural jewelry using fresh daisies. This florist guide will walk you through the steps to create one, whether it's for a crown, necklace, or bracelet.

What You’ll Need:

• Fresh daisies with long stems (the longer, the better)

• Scissors (optional)

Step 1: Gather Your Daisies

Find fresh daisies in a garden, park, or field. Look for ones with long, flexible stems, as these are easier to work with. Pick more than you think you need in case any break.

Step 2: Make a Small Slit in the Stem

Take your first daisy and use your fingernail or scissors to make a small slit (about ½ inch) near the top of the stem. Be careful not to cut all the way through.

Step 3: Thread the Next Daisy Through

Take a second daisy and slide its stem through the slit in the first daisy’s stem. Pull it through until the flower head rests against the slit.

Step 4: Repeat the Process

Make another slit in the stem of the second daisy and thread the third daisy through. Continue this process, linking one daisy to the next.

Step 5: Finish the Chain

Once your chain is long enough, take the last daisy’s stem and carefully thread it through the slit in the first daisy’s stem to form a loop. If the stems are long enough, you can tie them together in a small knot.

Step 6: Wear or Display Your Daisy Chain

Now you have a beautiful daisy chain! Wear it as a crown, necklace, or bracelet, or use it as decoration.

Tips for a Stronger Chain:

• If a stem is too weak, wrap it around another for extra support.

• Wetting the stems slightly can make them more flexible.

• Keep your chain fresh by spraying it lightly with water.

Enjoy making your daisy chain!
