We all know fashion isn't cheap so why not make your own accessories?! You could make your own clothes but that takes a bit more effort, money, and skill. I'm going to tell and show you how to make a "flower crown". One of the most popular accessories in the fashion soft grunge. Flower crowns online can cost up to $20 to $40 also. It is outrageous how much these can cost! So by making your own you can save a lot of money. I usually get my flowers at the dollar tree; for obvious reasons. You can also get the clothed wire and tape for $1.99 each at Joann's. I'm sure you could find a wire tool somewhere in your garage too.
THINGS YOU WILL NEED:
- Two 12 inch clothed wire (any color)
- Floral tape (any color)
- Any type of flowers you would like
- And a pair of any type of wire cutters
STEPS:
- First, measure your head by combining the two wires around your head. After measuring, weave the two wires together until right size.
- Second, Using the wire tool/cutter start cutting the flower stems apart, but keep the stems about 2 inches long.
- Third, choose a flower to start with and tear a piece of floral tape and wrap around the flower stem and wire. Don't worry about messing the tape up because the tape stretches during the process. You just keep repeating that process until the crown is full of flowers! Enjoy!
The great thing about this is that you don't have to mess with glue and the mess it brings! This craft is also great for any style and age and doesn't take a long time to do! Below is a better tutorial, I did it on YouTube to give you all a better visual on how the process goes.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d9e9hX4QJt4
