SPRING SERIES: DIY Floral Crown

As a part of my Spring Series, I promised you all that I would post a DIY on how to make a floral crown. If you're like me and sick of the same generic flowery headbands in all the chain stores, then this DIY is for you (oh god... that sounded like an infomercial). I was initially inspired by Lana Del Rey's style ... that sort of vintage, ethereal look complete with the gorgeous floral garlands.

What you'll need

1. A selection of artificial flowers (i used white orchids - Lincraft)
2. Florist tape (Lincraft)
3. Floral wire (Lincraft)
4. Pliers
5. Measuring tape
6. Normal scissors

1. Measure your head circumference with the measuring tape. Create a halo-like circle by twisting the floral wires together (I used 3 wires).

2. Take your first individual/bunch of flowers. Using the florist tape, wrap the flower around the wire halo. Just a tip: florist tape is like magic, it's not sticky like scotch tape but it just automatically adheres. Feels a bit like moulding clay when you press on it too. Anyways...

3. Repeat step 2, working your way around the crown until you've got your desired result. You can choose to complete the crown or leave the back naked.
