Daisy Chain

 I collected some daisy from our garden this morning to make a daisy chain.

First collect as many daisy as you can.

I then use a pin to make a hole in the daisy’s stem.

Now I use another daisy’s stem to go through the hole I made earlier.

Continue the process until the daisies get to certain length.
