Making a floral crown

Creating my own Floral Crown!

For my photoshoots many of the hair charts included a floral assessory. I researched many flowers i can add into the hair and my favourite was the floral crown. i felt this is very pretty design which goes well with both up and down hairstyles. 

I decided to create my own so i could create one exactly the way i wanted and which would flatter my model and would stand out from the others using real flowers. Following a youtube tutorial created by 'Thlaita Makes' i was able to design and bring it to life. - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LwfQ6XDX6yQ




1)
To create a flower crown you are first going to grab the equipment needed. These include a hot glue gun, scissors, green wire rope, green tape and of course some colourful and vibrant real or fake flowers depending if you want the crown to be for short or long term use.

2)
Secondly grab you wire top and make a firm ring large enough to go around yours or your selected models head.

3)
Thirdly select your flowers you want to use in the crown and cut them so there is a stem long enough to wrap around the ring. Place them onto the wring using some green tape to create a natural look. 

4)
One you have placed a variety of flowers around the crown and they are firmly secure,  remove some of the stems from the flowers so its not to overfilling with green and hot glue gun the flowers into place and leave to dry

These flowers don't just have to be used in photoshoots, however also work well at festivals and at the beach or just having a barbecue with your friends.
