How to Make a Daisy Bouquet
Creating a daisy bouquet is a simple craft that uses simple materials. However, a daisy bouquet can look as simple or fancy as desired. You can gather some wild daisies together for a quick arrangement or mix imported daisies with fillers and ribbons for an elegant arrangement. There are many varieties of daisies you can use, including gerbera, African, prairie and English. If you don't want to work with living flowers, you can also use dried, silk or plastic daisies.

Tips & Warnings
Though many varieties of daisies have white petals, daisies can be almost any color. You can find bright and vibrant daisies in many popular choices, including pink, red, lavender, cream, yellow and even aqua. This means daisies can be used for any kind of bouquet, from a simple white arrangement to a wild, multicolored arrangement.
Daisies can have thick and somewhat fibrous stems, so it's important to use a pair of extremely sharp and sturdy scissors to cut the stems with a sharp line.
