- Some small girls occupy their leisure time by making necklaces out of the heads of daisies. They procure a needle and a long piece of thread. At one end of the thread a knot is put in order to stop the heads from falling off. Forty or fifty heads of daisies are sufficient to make a necklace.Necklaces are also made out of red berries which are to be found on wild rosebushes. They are treated in a similar way to the heads of daisies, but a stronger needle and thread are required. Sometimes the little girls knot the ends together and put the necklace round their necks.
