Make Your Own Flower Crown

Ya’ll, I ain’t gonna lie, flower crowns are EXPENSIVE.

Why?

They’re pretty labor intensive! And they require more flowers than you would think.

That’s why I figured it’d be kinda fun and useful to show you how to make your own!

Flower crowns are LIFE! I love them SO much. I’ve included them in every family photography session for the last 6 years.

Materials Needed:

-Floral wire

-flowers of your choice (the flowers I chose for this tutorial are feverfew (tetra and sunny ball), statice, strawflower, and asters.

-Floral tape

-Ribbon

Step 1: Cut all your stems to be 1-2 inches (enough to be able to wrap the base with floral tape)

Step 2: Measure your head for an approximate length of floral wire to attach flowers to. Bend both ends into loops.

Step 3: Begin adding one stem at a time, at a slight angle, by wrapping and pulling the floral tape around the base of each stem.

*some choose to bunch flowers together before attaching to wire, but I find this to be a waste of time, I prefer to choose one stem, attach, and bunch as I go. It’s also sturdier this way.

Step 4: Continue layering each flower on top of the other until you’ve wrapped the entire length of the wire.

Step 5: Take the loops on either side of your wire and thread a ribbon or twine. Tie together to adjust to the size of your head.

TA-DA!!! So cute!
