Daisy Scout Necklace Craft
Jen, a Scout leader from Troop 25033, shared this sweet Daisy Scout Necklace Craft that her troop made together. This simple bead craft is a fun way for young Scouts to celebrate the Daisy petals, practice fine motor skills, and create something they can wear with pride.
Kids will enjoy coloring their own shrink film Daisy charm, then stringing bright beads in Scout Law colors to complete the necklace. This is a great activity for troop meetings, friendship crafts, or beginner bead projects for kids.
Fun Facts
Daisy Scouts earn colored petal badges as they learn about the Girl Scout Promise and Girl Scout Law. Each petal color represents an important value, such as being honest, fair, friendly, helpful, considerate, courageous, strong, responsible, and respectful.

Instructions
- Cut a 2 inch circle from the shrink film to make the Daisy charm.
- Punch one hole near the top of the circle before shrinking. This will be used to attach the charm to the necklace.
- Use markers to draw a Daisy design on the shrink film circle.
- Shrink the charm according to the shrink film package directions. Let it cool completely before handling.
- Fold the stretchy cord in half. Thread the two loose ends through the hole in the pendant and pull partway through to create a loop.
- Thread the loose ends of the cord through the loop and pull gently so the charm hangs straight.
- Add the beads to both strands of cord, using the Daisy Scout colors.
- Tie the ends securely to finish the necklace.
- Wear your Daisy Scout Necklace with pride.
Patterns, Templates and Printables
Use a 2 inch circle of shrink film for the Daisy charm. Kids can draw their own Daisy design with markers before shrinking, or you can provide a simple circle template for younger children to trace.
Teacher Friendly Educational Extension
This Daisy Scout Necklace Craft can also be used as a classroom or homeschool activity about character traits and personal values. After making the necklace, ask kids to choose one bead color and talk or write about what that value means to them.
You can also turn this into a group discussion by asking questions like:
What does it mean to be helpful?
How can we show respect at home, school, or Scouts?
What is one kind thing you can do for a friend this week?
This makes the craft more than a necklace. It becomes a simple character-building activity that helps children connect colors, symbols, and positive actions.
