Make Your Own Flower Crown
It’s that time of the year again when the sun’s all out and festivals and 4th of July celebrations require the wearing of attractive headpieces like flower crowns. You’ve seen it in summer outdoor weddings, in pride parades, in Coachella music festivals, on the runway, and even on the head of some cool boho girls in your neighborhood.
This hair accessory is loved by many because, obviously, who can resist the natural charm of flowers, or of nature in general? It makes an outfit look oh-so-sweet; it’s calming, soothing, and pleasing to the eyes, too. Fortunately, this headdress is very easy and affordable to make. It’s very easy to make a personalized piece that will complement your personality or outfit of the day. Here’s how you can make your own flower crown.

Tip: The best flowers to use would be roses, dahlias, gerberas and carnations. Don’t hesitate to mix and match. When using fresh flowers, cut an inch off the bottom of each stem and place them on a water-filled vase for at least an hour. This ensures that your blossoms will be well-hydrated before you use them for your crown.
2. Take your flower wire and wrap it around your head to get the size of your crown. Leave some room of about ¼ inch.

Tip: You can create several small clusters of flowers first so that you don’t have to attach each flower individually. This technique also makes it easy to create a full flower crown, one where every space is filled with blossoms.

See? It’s that easy. Just make sure that the blooms face outward. Other than this, there’s no wrong way to make a crown made of flowers. The design and overall look would largely depend on the occasion you’re making it for, your hairstyle or your fashion sense. If using fresh flowers, spray a little bit of water and keep it in a cool place until you’re ready to wear it.
