Making a flower crown with fresh flowers is a beautiful and creative way to enhance your style for a special event or just for fun. Here is a simple guide to help you make your own flower crown using fresh blooms.
Start by gathering your materials. You will need fresh flowers, floral wire, floral tape, scissors, and green foliage for filler. You can choose flowers such as daisies, roses, baby's breath, or wildflowers, and select a variety of colors to create a vibrant crown. Choose flowers that are sturdy and have long stems to make the process easier.
First, measure the circumference of your head and cut a piece of floral wire to that length. Leave a little extra length on both ends so you can twist them together securely. Bend the wire into a circle, shaping it to fit comfortably around your head.
Next, begin attaching your flowers. Cut the stems of your flowers to about 2 inches long. Take one flower at a time and place it on the floral wire. Use floral tape to secure the flower to the wire by wrapping the tape around the base of the stem and the wire. Continue adding flowers, spacing them evenly around the crown. You can mix different types and colors of flowers to create a balanced look.
As you continue, make sure to add some greenery between the flowers. This will help fill in the gaps and give your crown a fuller look. You can use leaves, ferns, or vines to create a lush, natural effect.
Once all the flowers are attached, use the remaining floral tape to secure the ends of the wire together. Be sure to twist the ends of the wire tightly to prevent the crown from falling apart. If there are any sharp edges, you can tuck them in with the tape for a safe and neat finish.
Your flower crown is now ready to wear! Keep in mind that fresh flowers only last a few hours to a day, so be sure to wear it soon after creating it. If you want to preserve it longer, you can refrigerate the crown to keep the flowers fresh for a little while before wearing it.
