DIY Flower Crown

A floral crown is an essential accessory that adds instant cuteness to your summer wardrobe. Flower crowns are a classic that have seen a resurgence in popularity recently. You can find them for sale all over, but they cost $20-$80!! It's so fun to make, and is a relatively cheap project. All the supplies for 3 crowns were under $20, and it only took an hour or so to complete.

                                                                                 Supplies Include:
  • An assortment of flowers
  • Grapevine Wire
  • Floral Stem Wrapping Tape
  • A variety of different critters, such as bees or dragonflies, or anything else you would like to accessorize with. (found at a local craft store)
  • Pliers and wire cutters







Step One: 
  • Measure the grapevine wire to fit your head. (I suggest making it a tad bit bigger for a comfortable fit with all your flowers on it.)
  • Take your wire cutters and cut the excess wire off.

Step Two:
  • Take a single flower and hold it in place with the crown you just made out of grapevine wire. 
  • Grab your floral stem wrapping tape and wrap together the flower and the crown till your flower is securely attached to the crown. (Floral tape isn't sticky until you stretch it a little. Hold the tape and flower in place on the crown. Then stretch the tape as you wind it around, being sure to keep the tape taught as you wind.)
  • Repeat this step till crown is full.

 Step Three:
  • To finalize it grab all your bugs, or other accessories, and attach them to your crown. (My bugs were made out of styrofoam so I stabbed them with a piece of wire and wrapped it around the crown till the bug was in place.)
 Bam!!! Wear this flower crown with anything and instantly look and feel like the goddess you are!
