Help!

It turns out that I have a gaping hole in my education. This afternoon, there I was, sitting in the park with the children, making a daisy chain. And suddenly I realised that I had no idea how to get it to join to form a necklace. Can anyone enlighten me? Thank you!

I have never, ever made one. :)

I know my daughter knows how to join a daisy chain, but she’s still asleep. I don’t think I ever knew how. How sad!

When you get to the end, you just choose the perfect daisy—long strong stem—and you make another hole, bigger than usual, at the south end, through which you put the first daisy’s head. As it were….

I think my technique must be the same as Mary’s (assuming the “south end” is the stem end, as opposed to the flower end). What a lovely way to pass the time!

Yep, like Mary said. Although obviously I find the idea of daisies in a chain TOTALLY offensive! ;-)
