I recently purchased a flower "chain" from a farmer's market in Santa Fe. I loved it when it was fresh, but unfortunately it dried up. Don't get me wrong, it's still beautiful dry, but the fresh flowers were great. So I decided to take initiative and make one of my own. Depending on the length of the chain, it can second as a lei!

Flowers I'm not sure what kind of flowers I used...Marigolds and other flowers like them work well
Beads I used these small metal beads for between flowers. You will also want another bead for the end of your chain. I used this small little turtle bead. A larger pendant or bead works even better, though.
Thread or String Not too thick because you need to thread it through the flowers and the needle. If you are making a necklace, I suggest using a thicker string than yard. Otherwise, it's alright to use thinner thread like I did.
