Supplies for Your DIY Daisy Paper Chain Garland

Here’s everything you need to create your easy daisy paper garland at home:

White 12×12 cardstock (for the daisy petals)
Yellow patterned paper from my American Crafts paper pad (for the flower centers)
Matching yellow paint
Empty egg carton (optional but fun!)
Pink 12×12 paper (for the paper chain links)
Hot glue gun
Stapler
Scissors or paper trimmer

How to Make the Petals for Your DIY Paper Daisy Flowers

Start by making the petals for your paper daisy flowers. Use a paper trimmer or scissors to cut the white 12×12 cardstock into 2-inch strips.

Fold each strip in half.

Trim the folded end with scissors so it’s slightly narrower—this gives your daisy petals a natural shape.

Take six petals and overlap them into a circle.

Use a stapler to attach them together at the narrow ends.

Each flower uses six petals, and don’t worry about that staple showing—now you’re going to cut out a white circle to cover up the staples.

Add the Yellow Flower Centers to Your Paper Daisy Chain

Now take the paper egg carton and cut out three of the egg holders. Then trim it to look circular.

Now use scissors to make cuts around the edges of the egg container. Paint the egg cartons the same color yellow as the paper.

Make 1.5 inch paper strips with the yellow paper. Then make small cuts halfway through the paper all the way down the strips.

Fold the paper in half.

and then roll it up and secure the edges with hot glue.

and then roll it up and secure the edges with hot glue.

Boom—your DIY paper daisies are blooming beautifully.

Create the Pink Paper Chain to Attach the Daisy Flowers

Now it’s time to create the paper chain garland that holds it all together!

Cut your pink 12×12 paper into twelve 1-inch strips.
Take the first strip and glue the ends together to make a loop.
Loop the second strip through the first, then glue its ends.
Continue this until you have three loops.

For the third strip, loop it through the previous chain and one of your daisy petals. Hot glue it in place to connect the flower to the chain.

Repeat this on the other side of the flower with three more loops and the next daisy.

Assembling the DIY Daisy Paper Chain Banner

To build your DIY daisy banner, follow this pattern:

Add three paper chain loops
Attach a daisy flower
Add three more loops
Repeat until all your flowers are attached

You can make your daisy garland as long or short as you like—just adjust the number of flowers and paper chain links.

Want smaller flowers? Just halve the size of everything (1-inch strips instead of 2-inch, smaller circles, etc.) for a mini version.
