    Default Daisy chains

    Aren't they just the cutest - and most pointless - things ever? With this nice weather (right, 23/24.C is hottt!) we've all been on the playing field at lunch, and it is overrun by daisies. So for the last week, every single lunch, I started making daisy chains. I've never made one before, so I'm still a nub.



    Do you like to make daisy chains? how long do you make them? Isnt the weather just HOT HOT HOT?! (:

    goo!

    As a kid I tended to scour entire fields pulling up the daisies because I remember being told they were technically a weed. These days I'm less callous towards plants, though I'm by no means on good terms with them. They give me oxygen, I give them carbon dioxide. Done deal.
    There is no signature here. Move along.

    I must admit I've never ever made one of those. Tons of girls used to make them when we were little, though :P

    Also, yes.. the weather is amazing these days.

    Flowers are meant to be trampled into the ground, then burnt with a flame thrower.

    Naw. I preferred just picking daisies and bringing home 'bouquets' for my mum. I would put them in eggcups half filled with water. ^_^

    Or doing 'he loves me, he loves me not' by picking the petals off.

    People have tried to teach me before, but I was pretty young and therefore I thought:

    Only without the flame thrower part. Ironically, the few times I've ever actually wanted to make them for whatever reason, nobody was willing to teach me.

    I've never made daisy chains but I have woven three strands of grass or weed stalks together when I find myself in a field and I'm bored..

    I never knew how to make them, and we don't really have a lot of daisies here anyways xD

    I haven't made daisy chains in years. Used to do it a lot when I was bored, when I was younger. I was useless at it.

    And yes, it is really warm. Me and my friends have been getting ice creams after school and walking home in the sun. Good days.

    When I was at school I used to make them into little rings/bracelets. It's been years since I last made a daisy chain.

    I'm loving this weather. The sunny days make me smile.

    Not to wear they're not!

    They can be whatever you want them to be, I've had a necklace and a bracelet made for me out of daisies
