How to Make a DIY Flower Crown

Measure the diameter of your head. Take two pieces of floral stem wire and twist them together to create a circle base for the crown.
Next, start wrapping craft flowers around the circle alternating colors and sizes. The design is up to you!
Continue wrapping until you have the desired amount. To finish off the crown, wrap the exposed wire in floral stem tape. Be sure to cover any sharp ends.

If desired, add craft butterflies by wrapping the wire around the crown or hot gluing them on. You can also embellish it with ribbon, depending on the desired look. Drape long pieces of ribbon and lace at the back for a fairy look.

Other Ideas for Your Flower Crown

You can play around with the flower bunch length and size. Make a full crown, half. These crowns make cute party favors for a little girl’s birthday party or use it for a fairy costume at Halloween. You can even make one to wear to a bridal shower, concert, or other special occasion.

Use larger flowers in bold colors for a Day of the Dead costume or use dainty flowers in pastels for a fairy or woodland costume. Add other greenery or baby’s breath for a more whimsical feel for a wedding or bridal shower.

Here are a few pictures of my daughter and I wearing them. What do you think? Cute, right?
