D.I.Y Flower Hair Crown

D.I.Y Flower Hair Crown 

I made this flower crown head band with items I found at home.I have always loved these styles of headband but as I have quite a small head they never usually fit. So I decided to look up how to make them and when I found it was quite simple, I was over the moon. If you would like to make one of these headbands I am going to show you how with a step by step guide -

First of all you need these items -

• Craft wire
• Artificial flowers
• Glue gun

-To start with you need to take the flowers of the stems and put them to one side as these will be used later.

-Take the craft wire and measure it against your head, make sure you make it loose, also leave a bit to overlap so you can fasten it.

-The craft wire by it'self is too flimsy and doesn't look too nice so you have to put some green tube around it, I used the tube from the stems of the fake flowers but it can be any type which can easily be purchased at a craft shop. You need to cover the whole wire with this leaving a little bit of wire at each end.

-Get your flowers and make sure there is only the tiniest bit of stem.

-Get a piece of wire around 3-4cm long and fold it in half, then loop this around the bit of stem and twist it so it is tight, then get your glue gun and put a blob of glue on it to ensure it is secure. do this to all of your flowers, i used 6 but it can vary.

-Choose where you want to put the flowers and use the two ends of wire to wrap around the band to secure it, place the flowers where you want them to be and after wrapping the wire place discrete bits of glue to secure them.

-Wear your new flower crown and feel great.

It would be great if you try this, if you do please send me a picture of how it goes as it would be great to see other designs.
