Flower Necklace
In many Polynesian cultures, people make a flower necklace called a leigh. You can wear this craft, you can make a dazzling flower necklace, too.
Here is what you’ll need to make a flower necklace:
Flowers with stems (such as daisies)
To make a flower necklace, the first thing you’ll need to do is pick a lot of wild flowers that have long stems, such as daisies. (Be careful if you use dandelions, because the same yellow color that rubs off on your hands or chin can create a big mess.)
Here’s how to chain them together:
Take two flower stems at right angles. Loop the vertical stem around the horizontal one you’ll want it to ends up beside the horizontal stem.
Then lay a third stem at right angles to the two horizontal stems. Circle it around both horizontal stems. Next you’ll adding stems this way until your lei is as long as you want it. Tie the last stem to the first flower to make a rounded circle. Aloha!
You can also make a flower necklace out of cloth. Of course choosing the material of cloth that you use will make a difference in the feel of your flower necklace. A cloth flower necklace may be a little more difficult because first you must roll the cloth in the form of your desired.
Now we can talk about the type of cloth for your flower necklace. You’ll need to find the color and texture that you like. Colors vary a lot. Just go to a fabric store and you’ll see for yourself.
Texture of the fabric is also varied a lot. You can choose from silk, braided, corded, elastic, labels, lanyards, and many many more for your flower necklace.
