15: Make a daisy chain

Wait till the daisies are nice & big and pick enough to make whatever size chain you need. Start with one daisy and using your thumb nail make a split in the stem towards the bottom of the stalk. Take your second daisy and gently thread it stalk first through the split until the head rests against the split. Repeat until you have a long chain, then join the last daisy to the first by putting a second split through the stalk and gently pulling through. Make lots of necklaces, hair crowns and bracelets to brighten up everyone’s day.
