WBW Creative: Handmade Flower Crown.

My sister Lindsey, our friend Carlie and I had talked about doing a photo-shoot just for fun, for quite a while. A few months ago now, we packed up a picnic basket, and 2 vintage suit cases full of outfits and accessories and props and headed out to the canyon for our photo-shoot. Flower crowns have been so popular this year, in weddings and photo-shoots, so I decided to make one for our pictures. It was very simple, and I absolutely loved how it turned out!

What you'll need:

3 strips of scrap fabric

2 tiny clear rubber bands

Real or artificial flowers

A hot glue gun & hot glue

I used scrap pieces of fabric that I had.

I tied 3 strips together with a tiny rubber band, then I braided the fabric together.

I made the strips extra long that way the crown could be tied on,

and easily removed for the three of us to wear!

I bought 2 bouquets of flowers from Trader Joe's.
You can also totally use artificial flowers!

I then cut all of the blooms off of their stems.

I weaved leaves and some of the extra foliage that was in the bouquets in through the braid and hot glued them to back, to make sure they were secure. I hot glued the flowers onto the fabric. For the heavier flowers (like the sunflowers) I pushed what was left from the steam through the fabric braid and hot glued on the back to secure.
