Since Lana Del Rey's Born To Die music video, I have been completely in love with flower crowns. I think they are such a chic way to accessories an outfit and they are a perfect compliment to the lovely spring weather Australia is getting right now.
So here is an easy and inexpensive DIY to make your very own flowercrown!
What you will need:
- Silk or fabric flowers, assorted in size (I used pastel roses)
- Florist Wire (you can buy these in pre-cut packets)
- Pliers (optional)
- Ribbon
Step 1: First, create two loops at one end of both your pieces of floral wire (If you wire is not pre-cut, cut two pieces of approximately 45cm). Measure the wire around your head, making sure you hold the loops together. Twist over the excess.
Step 2: Split the large flowers into two groups and twist their stems together, creating a semi-circle. I found it helpful to use pliers to clamp the ends together.
Step 3: Wrap the flowers around the wire and add the smaller flowers, leaves, etc.
Step 4: Pull a ribbon through the loops and tie a knot or bow. Place the crown on your head and tie a secure bow with the remaining ribbon.
And voila! You are finished!
I hope this tutorial proved helpful.
This project took me less than half an hour and cost me under $10. I bought all my supplies from Spotlight.
I hope y'all have a good weekend!
Bye for now,
