Floral crowns are in in a big way. From Lana Del Rey to style bloggers across the nation, floral head pieces are the new must-have accessory. The best way to rock this look is to do it yourself! It is so easy to make these crowns and you can create a few of them for different outfits or occasions. Play around with different flowers and different colors to create a look that’s truly your own.

Here’s what you’ll need:

Fake flowers in various sizes
Thick brown floral wire
Thin green floral wire
Felt
Fabric glue
Scissors

Let’s get started:

Start by plucking the stems off of the big flowers and cut off the remaining stem so that they can lay flat.
Cut circles out of the felt and glue them onto the back of each flower. Make sure that the circles are small enough that they don’t show through the petals.
After the glue has dried, place the flower onto the brown wire and glue another circle behind it to secure the flower to the crown.
Fill in the sparse spaces with smaller flowers by wrapping some of the green floral wire around the smaller stems then wrapping them around the crown.

Note: I wrapped and glued enough flowers to stop at the ears and then wrapped some leaves around the back, but you can choose to place the flowers all over the entire crown, too!
