Memories of lying on a grass oval making “daisy chains” was the inspiration for this weeks craft activity.

Making flower chains is very simple and probably is better suited to outdoors. If you can find a grassy patch where there are lots of dandelions growing, throw down a picnic rug or just lie in the grass and start linking those flowers together.

How to:

So long as your flowers have a little stem, you don’t need anything else! Just make a little slit in the stem and thread the next flower through that slit. Once you have passed the second flower through, make a slit in the second stem and pass the next flower through that and so on and so on.

When you have decided your chain is long enough, pass the last flower back through the slit in the first one. You can then knot that last stem to keep it secure or tie it with a little string.

These are the perfect accessories for an outdoor fairy party (as well as providing an activity!)
