Flower Chains
Materials: a grocery bag full of flowers such as daisies,
dandelions
or other common flowers with flexible stems.
Method 1
- Make a cross with 2 flower stems as shown.
- Bend the stem of the top flower around the stem of
the bottom flower. Tie a knot with the flower stem and pull
lightly to tighten.
- Lay another flower over the joined stems and tie another knot.
- Continue with steps 1-3 till chain is as long as you want it.
Tie the very last stem around the first one to form a ring. Wear it
as a crown or necklace.
Method 2
- Use a pin or your fingernail to make a slit in each
flower stem about 1" below the flower head.
- Slip the stem of a second flower through the slit in
the first stem.
- Repeat step 2 until the flower chain is as long as you
want, then slip the last flower through the slit in the first to form a ring.
