DIY; Extra Easy Floral Crown

you will need:

- artificial flowers of your choice

- plastic head band

- wire cutters/ strong scissors

- strong glue

- clothes pegs

- paint&brush (optional)

- carefully trim stems from the bunches of flowers

- selects the ones you wish to use

- also keeping a few of the fake leaves

- remove the wire stems

- have a few practises at the placing and arrangements of the flowers before gluing

- trim the same amount of leaves as you have flowers

(I had 5 flowers so needed 5 leaves)

- apply the glue onto headband

- place the flower onto the glue

- stick the leaf over to hide any plastic stems

- peg in place ensuring the peg is placed over the stem to hold it in place to dry

- repeat until headband is full

- now is the time to add any extra flowers if needed (I used 7 in total)

- leave glue to dry for around 20-30 mintues

adding paint to the flowers is optional if you are happy with how the crown looks now, then stop.. 

if not grab your paints, I used simple water colours

- work from the outside of the petals, carefully building up colours

- apply quite thick onto the very edges of the petals carefully watering the colour down for the inside petals

- just work the colours until you are completely happy.. 

then you are all done!

make sure glue and paint is completely dry before wearing.
