D.I.Y. Flower Crown

Hey everyone! Today I'm going to show you how to make these totally adorable flower crowns! I am making this floral craft because of a request on Instagram to make "something floral"! This month, I am starting a series of floral crafts, because not only do you guys want to see them ;), but I have a LOT of artificial flowers to work with. And I mean a LOT.  So let's get into the tutorial:

To make these flower crowns, you will need:
- craft wire
- scissors (or something else that can cut your wire easily)
- hot glue and hot glue gun
- artificial flowers
*scissors/wire cutters are not pictured
First, measure and cut your wire to fit around your head, with some excess. Bend into a circle.


Next, twist the ends together a few times to secure the wire in a loop. Cover in hot glue to secure, and cover up any parts that may be sharp or snag your hair when you wear the crown.


Now, arrange your flowers the way you would like them to be on the crown to make sure they all fit, or that you have enough to cover the crown. You may want to take a reference picture to look at while you glue the flowers on.

This is the reference picture for my
4th-of-July Flower Crown
Next, begin gluing on your flowers, one at a time. Please note that this takes a fair amount of glue to stick each flower onto the wire.


Continue gluing on the flowers all of the way around the crown, and you're done!


This project is very fun to do with friends, or to make yourself. Flower crowns can also be made for any occasion, such as birthdays or holidays. I made two, one that is pink and one that is for 4th-of-July! 


I hope all of you have fun if you make this project! If you make a flower crown, please share it with me on Instagram using #wonderlandifulcrafts, and check out my Instagram page @wonderlandifulcrafts. In the intro, I mentioned a series of flower D.I.Y.'s that I will be doing, so let's also use the hashtag #flowerlandifulcrafts for the D.I.Y.'s I post this month!
Goodbye everyone!
Sincerely,
The Wonderlandiful Crafter
