You’ll need:
- Wildflowers with soft, flexible stems (daisies, dandelions, clover, or similar flowers work well)
- Scissors (or, you can tear stems by hand to thin them)
Steps
- Gather your flowers: Pick an assortment of flowers with soft, bendy stems. Daisies, clover, and dandelions work well. Choose the longest stems possible to make braiding easier.
- Start braiding: Select three flowers with long stems, then cross the stems and braid them like a standard three-strand braid
- Take the stem on the outside right and place it between the other two.
- Then, take the stem on the outside left and place it between the other two. Continue braiding for about an inch (or about the width of a flower head).
- To add a new flower, lay its stem alongside the center stem and braid them together as one. Continue braiding for another flower-width, then add another flower the same way. Keep going until your chain is the size you want.
- Finish your creation: When your chain is long enough, braid the remaining stems and tuck the ends back into the beginning to form a crown, bracelet, belt, sash, or necklace. If it won’t stay tucked, you can tie it with a small piece of thread.
- Wear and enjoy!
