How To Make A Flower Crown:
- Measure your head using the wire. Using a wire cutter, cut 3 pieces a bit longer than the length of the circumference of your head. Braid the floral wire together. This will give the base of your crown structure.
- Next, using a glue gun cover the entire crown in glue and let dry. Again, this will give more structure to the crown base as well as making it more softer on your head.
3. Now it is time for the fun part! Clip the roses and decorate around the crown. I suggest getting two or three different sizes and using the larger roses for the front of the crown.
4. Add the spikes using the glue gun. This will make the roses and crown look like it has thorns.
5. There should be some empty spaces left; fill those spaces with leaves from the left over bouquets.
6. Add in pearl beads to fill in extra space if needed. This will add extra dimension and a touch of delicacy. Alternatively, you could use small filler flowers.
You have now completed the flower crown tutorial unless you would like to cover the whole thing with an optional coat of spray paint. I chose to coat my homemade floral crown with a gold spray paint. This works perfectly for getting a gilded look which is well suited to classical Greek costumes with togas.
7. In a well ventilated area, spray paint the entire crown. All to dry. You may want to do a few coats.
8. Let the painted flower crown dry. Then put it on and enjoy!
