  1. Homemade Toys - A Daisy Chain (continued)

    (continued from previous page)
    A daisy chain is made by getting a rush and if the end of the rush is brittle you should break it off. Then you would tuck the daisies and nip off the stem close to the cup and press the pointed end of the rush through the flower. One by one the daisies are put in, until the rush is almost full. The rush is then curved round, the pointed end is pressed into the thick end and the chain is made.
