How To Make A Flower Crown

Supplies

• Bouquet of faux flowers
• Cord or ribbon
• One sheet of felt
• Beads (optional)
• Hot glue gun
• Scissors

Instructions

Step One: Remove flowers

Begin by removing the flowers from the stem.

Step Two: Re-assemble flowers

Remove the outermost green plastic petal from the back of one flower. Squeeze an ample amount of hot glue onto the back and reattach the plastic petal. Cut the tip from the flower. Repeat this step with the remaining flowers. This step may seem a bit odd, but it will ensure that the flower stays intact over time.

Step Three: Cut ovals

Cut ovals from the felt. They should be large enough to cover the backs of the flowers. Create an oval for each flower.

Step Four: Cut cord

Cut enough cord to wrap around your head and tie a bow. I cut one yard to be on the safe side. Fold the cord in half and mark the spot. If you have an odd number of flowers, you will place the first flower directly in the middle. If you have an even number of flowers, you will place flowers on each side of the middle mark. This will keep your crown centered.

Step Five: Assemble crown

Squeeze a large glob of hot glue onto the back of one flower and place the cord in the hot glue. While the glue is still hot, firmly place the felt oval on top of it. Add more glue to the edges of the oval to secure it to the flower.

Continue this step with the remaining flowers.

Step Six: Tie a knot

Tie a knot on each end of the cord. To embellish the cord slide beads onto it before tying the knot.

You’re summer ready! Make more crowns and give one to a friend.
