Daisy chains

I am likely allergic to daisies, so I would not want to be near daisies or anyone wearing a daisy chain.

I am a hippee, wooooo!

I used to make those. I made some long ones, too. Like, five feet long, once. Yes, I had a lot of time on my hands. :D

Your 'fro looks so... ginger. :bigsmile:

I used to make these daisy bracelets and necklaces but different from a typical daisy chain. Like in Zeldy's picture, the daisies are a couple inches apart. I used to make mine so that the daises would all be touching each other and tightly woven in together. More like a wreath I guess. Used to LOVE doing that.

WTF?

^ That's the kind of daisy chain I'd like to make :monster:

Wikipedia rules.

Anyway I used to try to make them but I would always screw up making the hole in the stem. My thumbnail would just shred it all up. It would take ages to make a chain of three and then I'd just quit.

I'm going to join forces with Psychotic, hunt you down, and forcibly dye your hair actual ginger. :mad2:

Zomgosh Amy, I made one on Sunday when me and Daniel went sun bathing in the park. :heart:

INSTRUCTIONS FO' THE POOR, DEPRIVED PEOPLE WHO DON'T KNOW HOW TO MAKE THEM :eek:

:save: Pick daisies either one at a time or in a big bunch, all with long stems

:save: Using your thumbnail, carefully split a part of the stem. If you chop it to bits, that's what the long stems are for! Just try again using tiny incisions

:save: Gently pull the incision wider until you can make it into a neat little gap

:save: Thread your next daisy through the gap by the STEM and pull it through until it's stopped by the head

:save: Rinse 'n repeat!

:save: When you reach the end, I prefer to thread the first daisy thorugh the stem of the final daisy by the head, but some people like to tie them. I personally think it a bit clumsy and doesn't look so nice. If you've made a choker/bracelet/belt/ring/etc. where you're wrapping it round whatever multiple times, do so before tying it off.

I LURVE DAISY CHAINS they're great :bigsmile:

I used to make them in elementary school everyday almost! I have a memory of me and some friends trying to make the longest chain possible! :love:
