A yellow petal headband and a green dress. A walking flower, and the petal headband is the whole costume. Thirty minutes, easy: yellow craft foam sheets, brown craft foam for the flower center, and a green dress. Cut the petals as rounded teardrops, not triangles; teardrops read as daisy.

Common questions

How many petals does a daisy need?

Ten to twelve. Fewer looks sparse, more looks like a sunflower. Overlap them slightly so no headband shows through.

Foam or felt for the petals?

Craft foam holds its shape and springs back; felt flops by hour two. Foam costs a little more and looks twice as good.
