How To Make A Flower Crown

Flower crowns are much easier to make than you might think and are a really fun element that you can add to occasions or just create on a rainy day. They’re simple enough that you can do this activity even with very young kids and the results are unique and beautiful.

What you will need:

-Some stiff wire

-Snips or scissors

-Masking tape or floral tape if you have it

-Flowers and/or foliage with short stems

In this example I choose to use Lady of Shallot roses, Double Chater Salmon Hollyhocks, Yellow Colombine, White Tea Roses, pansies, common white dianthus and some cuttings from some bushes in my yard. As you design your crown, think about color and texture. I chose a color scheme of blooms in a range of apricots and pinks. Using colors that are next to each other on the color wheel or that are different textures of various shades of the same color is a good place to start if you’re not confident in choosing colors that go together.

Directions:

Step 1:To begin, take your wire and use it to measure the circumference of the head of the person you are making your crown for.

Step 2: Give yourself an extra 6-8 inches and wrap the wire back around itself as seen in the image below.

Step 3: You will then choose a flower or small bunch of flowers and greenery and hold it firmly against the wire.

Step 4: Take a short piece of tape and wrap it snugly around the stems of the little bunch or blossom.

Step 5: Moving in the same direction, layer the next bunch just slightly farther down the wire, overlapping the bloom that has already been secured and repeat step 4 with the tape.
