DIY FESTIVAL FLOWER CROWN
To make a music festival flower crown, start by forming a wire base and covering it with floral tape. Next, create small clusters of flowers and greenery, wrapping their stems tightly with floral tape or glue to secure them. Attach these clusters to the wire base, layering them to create a full design. Finally, add decorative elements like baby's breath or ribbon and adjust the crown for a comfortable fit. Materials You'll Need Floral wire or aluminum wire (18 gauge is good for the base) Thin gauge floral wire (for attaching flowers) Floral tape (green) Wire cutters and garden scissors A variety of fresh or artificial flowers and greenery Hot glue gun (optional) Ribbon (optional, for finishing) Instructions Create the Base: Measure the floral wire around your head, then form a circle, leaving ends open for adjustments or for tying a ribbon later. You can double the wire and wrap it with floral tape to make it sturdier. Prepare the Elements: Cut the stems of your flowers and greenery to short lengths. You can also clean off any excess leaves from the lower parts of the stems. Make Flower Bundles: Create small clusters by combining a few flowers and some leafy greens. Wrap the bases of these bundles tightly with green floral tape, pressing it to secure the stems. Attach to the Base: Begin attaching the flower clusters to the wire base. You can use a hot glue gun for added security or rely on the floral tape to secure the stems to the wire. Continue to build your crown by adding layers of flowers and foliage, covering the stems and tape. Fill in Gaps: Use smaller flowers like baby's breath to fill any open spaces and add a delicate touch. Add Finishing Touches: Once you've built the desired fullness, you can add a ribbon through the loops at the ends of the wire. Adjust and Enjoy: Adjust the crown to fit comfortably on your head and show off your beautiful creation at the music festival. Tips for Success Plan Your Design: Decide on a color palette before you start to ensure a cohesive look.
