How to Make Flower Garlands

Things Needed

Flowers (like carnations)
Needle
Thread
Scissors

Instructions

Go to the market and buy around four dozen carnations, of the color of your choice, from the florist.
After getting the carnations from the market, bring them home and cut off their heads, from the base of the stem.
Decide on the length of the garland.
Now, take the thread and measure it to twice the length you want for your garland. Keep ten inches extra, for knotting the thread.
Put one end of the thread in the needle hole and bring it down, to meet the other end.
Tie both the ends of the thread together.
Take one of the carnations and insert the needle through its stem, taking it up through the middle of its head.
Repeat this procedure with half of the flowers i.e. 2 dozen.
Take the next flower and turn it the other way. For the purpose insert the needle in the center of the flower head and take it out from the stem.
Repeat this procedure with the other half of the flowers i.e. 2 dozen.
Compress the flowers together.
Take both the ends of the thread, left loose, and tie them together, forming a circle.
Your flower garland is ready!
