Form the Base of the Crown

  • To make the base, take a piece of wire and measure it to twice the circumference of the crown of your head.
  • Once you’ve done that, find the halfway point and slightly fold then twist it around to create a loop. 
  • Then continue weaving the wire around itself longwise to thicken the base and give it some sturdiness. 
  • Follow the wire base towards the end and then fold one end so that it forms a loop, repeating this on both sides. TIP: these loops are for the ribbon that will hold the crown in place on your head!
  • Now, take the wire crown and gently pry the holes open along the length so that they form miniature ovals. 

Arrange the Flowers

  • Now that you’ve finished forming the wire base, you can start on the flowers. TIP: you can use either faux flowers or real flowers, depending on what look you’re wanting.
  • If any of the flowers or greenery contain stems, cut them off using your scissors so there are cleaner materials. 
  • Arrange the flowers around the hoops in a pattern that fits your desired aesthetic. 
  • Now that you have them placed where you want them, take the stems and wrap them around the wire so they stay secure. Repeat the process as you continue to fill the holes, making sure that there are no wild pieces sticking out. 

Final Touches

  • Now that you’ve arranged the flowers and greenery how you want it, take the floral tape and weave it around the stems. 
  • Carefully wind the tape around multiple times on each stem to bond the flower stems in place. This will also give the crown a clean look and ensure there are no jagged edges.
  • Once you’ve taped and adjusted the flowers to their final form, add the ribbon by passing it through both of the loops at the end of the crown. 
  • Now, you’re ready to wear your crown!
