Instructions:

  1. Start by selecting your flowers and greenery. Choose a variety of sizes, colors, and textures to create a visually interesting and balanced crown.
  2. Measure the floral wire or bendable branches around your head to determine the length needed for your crown. Add an extra inch or two for overlapping.
  3. Shape the wire or branches into a circle and secure the ends together with floral tape. Make sure the circle fits comfortably on your head.
  4. Cut small pieces of floral tape and use them to attach the stems of your flowers and greenery to the wire. Start at one end of the wire and work your way around, layering the flowers and greenery until you reach the other end. Be sure to cover any exposed wire with flowers and greenery.
  5. Continue adding flowers and greenery until you have achieved the desired fullness and shape for your crown. You can make a full crown or leave some space in the back for an open, bohemian look.
  6. Once you have finished adding your flowers and greenery, check to make sure that all stems are securely attached with floral tape. Trim any stray stems or leaves as needed.
  7. Try on your flower crown and make any adjustments as needed. You may want to add a ribbon or tie at the back for extra security.
