Description

A great alternative to a traditional flower crown, this faux flower headband is an elegant accessory that’s easy to wear.

Instructions

  1. Small 109274 2f2015 06 10 132749 flower crowns headband 01

    Clip the stems off of each faux flower and cut a 4- to 6-inch piece of florist wire for each one.

  2. Small 109274 2f2015 06 10 132825 flower crowns headband 02

    Begin creating a pliable wire stem for your first faux bloom by threading a 4- to 6-inch piece of florist wire through the center.

  3. Small 109274 2f2015 06 10 132829 flower crowns headband 03

    Fold the piece of florist wire in half, pulling the end toward the base of the bloom.

  4. Small 109274 2f2015 06 10 132846 flower crowns headband 04

    Bring the two ends of the florist wire together.

  5. Small 109274 2f2015 06 10 132857 flower crowns headband 05

    Twist the two strands of florist wire tightly together, ultimately creating a wire stem for the bloom.

  6. Small 109274 2f2015 06 10 132902 flower crowns headband 06

    Repeat steps 2–5 for each flower until they are all on wire stems.

  7. Small 109274 2f2015 06 10 132916 flower crowns headband 07

    Place the base of the first flower against the top and center of the headband.

  8. Small 109274 2f2015 06 10 132928 flower crowns headband 08

    Begin securing the flower to your headpiece by twisting the wire stem around the headband from left to right.

  9. Small 109274 2f2015 06 10 132930 flower crowns headband 09

    Place a second flower next to the first and repeat step 8.

  10. Small 109274 2f2015 06 10 132935 flower crowns headband 10

    Continue placing each flower on the headband, securing it with the wire stem.

  11. Small 109274 2f2015 06 10 132955 flower crowns headband 11

    The inside of your headband should look like this once all of the flowers are attached.

    To conceal the messy florist wire and prevent it from pulling the hair, cover the base of the headband with florist tape by wrapping it around the section where the flowers have been placed.
