Flower Crown DIY

July 28, 2016

When you’re a wildflower, the sun shines down just right this time of year. This is the time you can be frolicking in fields of daisies, floating in crisp natural waters, or twirling to a reverie of music. There’s magic in the air and there’s no instance in which it’s not completely and utterly appropriate to transform into a real-life Snapchat filter. Here’s a flower crown DIY just in time for Lollapalooza!

How to make a Flower Crown

Sweet summertime illuminates all that surrounds you in a way that makes you believe in the pure good of the world. As every Chicagoan knows, every outdoor moment is precious. Your flower crown can begin with a walk through nature, selecting wildflowers as you go. Depending on the color scheme you’re going for or how big you want the crown to be, you can choose any kind of flower you’d like.

Here is how to make your very own flower crown:

Supplies:

  • Flowers! I used Michigan wildflowers. You’ll want to choose at least one base green and whichever colorful buds call to you.
  • Floral wire
  • Floral wire cutters

Michigan Wildflowers - Flower Crown DIY

First, take three pieces of your green leafy selection and begin to braid from the base up. Weave in new pieces just like a french braid. I like to start with all pretty green and white pieces, and add in color at the end for a vibrant pop. Starting with greenery is important – so don’t skip it. You’ll want to choose something that is sturdy and strong. This will act as the base of your crown.

Step 1 Flower Crown

Flower Crown DIY step 2

Keep braiding in flowers and secure your crown into a circle using floral wire. Simply cut a small piece with your wire cutters and wrap it around the flowers to secure. A small piece will hold it tight! Just make sure that no pointy ends are sticking out.

Now, we fill it out with vibrancy.To attach each flower to the crown, make sure the flower stems are at least 3 inches long (you can cut off excess stems wire cutters) and remove leaves from the stems. Weave them into the existing braid by pushing the stem through. You chave the option to integrate flowers equally around the whole crown, or just focus on the front of the crown

Voila! Your flower crown is complete. It took about 20 minutes to make this crown, and it’s actually pretty easy. Whether it’s made out of flowers or otherwise, never leave home without your crown.

    Such an on-point blog post!

    Love your space here – I think it’s worth saying that you have a lovely taste in design and I have such appreciation for that. I see so many blogs that could use a makeover and yours is one I would refer them to! 🙂

    Really enjoying the flower crown DIY. I did one of mine a couple years ago for the blog, but nothing this extravagant. I also had to use a hot glue gun because I picked smaller flowers, which was really stupid. Love the idea of just simply draping and twisting. Lovely!

    Today, I went to the beach with my children. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She
    placed the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.

    She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is entirely off
    topic but I had to tell someone!

    I don’t even know how I ended up here, but I thought this post was good. I do not know who you are but definitely you’re going to a famous blogger if you are not already 😉 Cheers!
