We can teach you how to make beautiful flower crowns or well, we can always make them for you to ship them to you in the mail or if you are in a city where we have flower party hosts we can host a flower crown workshop to teach you how to make flower crowns in person.
First off, to make a good flower crown you need to know a couple of things up front. There are different bases to flower crowns that you should be aware of. Let's start there. You must first pick the base of your flower crown and then we can move on to how to actually attach flowers to your flower crown.
All three of these flower crown bases are going to be pretty on. Just kind of depends on what your vibe is and what you want the flower crown to look like.
There are a couple of ways to add flowers to a flower crown. Here are the ways that we see being the easiest for newbies to making DIY flower crowns.
Bunches: You will want to make little bunches of flowers and/or greenery that you bought using floral wire and/or tape. Those floral bunches will be used to attach the flowers to the flower crown.
One flower at a time: You will wrap a small piece of floral tape around the stem of the flower you cut off a longer stem. Then when you have a small piece wrapped around the stem of the flower you can add it to the base of the crown by wrapping the rest of the flower tape around the base of the flower crown. You will keep doing this as you continue to work on your flower crown.
There are some more advanced techniques that you can use to get a flower ready to put on a flower crown. You can take a small snippet of floral wire and puncture the flower so that the wire comes out the top of the flower itself and do a small loop into the flower so it stays put. Once you do this you should have a loop that goes through the flower so you can take the wired flower and attach it to the base of your flower crown.
Silk flowers will tend to be easier to work with because they won't fall apart as easy. A lot of people are afraid of working with real flowers when making DIY flower crowns because they are afraid they will hurt or break the flowers. You might! But, rest assured flowers are more hearty than you might think! If you follow these examples of how to attach flowers to a flower crown you might lose a couple of flowers or flower petals on real flowers but not many. You will find your groove as you start to attach flowers to your DIY flower crown and it will get easier. A lot of people actually find the process of making flower crowns to be super relaxing. So keep at it and practice because it can actually be a really relaxing activity.
Real flowers and silk flowers have similar techniques for putting them on the flower crown that we spoke about above. So get used to using floral tape and floral wire snippets and you really cannot end up with an ugly flower crown. People are always worried that they are doing something wrong in the process of making flower crowns but really how can flowers be ugly in the shape of a crown?
