flower headpieces


These are so easy to make and not time consuming at all. You will need decorative flowers, ribbon, wire, wire cutters, and some type of glue. I used a hot glue gun, but next time I think I will use fabric glue.  I would recommend using just one of those though. Fake flowers often come in a bouquet like this:


You can use wire cutters to carefully cut them off. Next take your wire and cut a piece long enough to start/end from behind your ears. Here's a picture of the finished product, but untied, to give you an idea:


Take the cut wire and bend it so it fits around your head snug. It should look something like this:


Then cut two long pieces of ribbon and glue one strip to each side of the wire. You will end up tying a bow in the back when wearing so make sure each strip will be long enough to do so. 


Now take a new piece of ribbon and tightly wrap it all around the wire. You will want to put glue on the wire as you wrap it. When finished it should look like this:


The last step is the fun part.  Simply glue flowers all around the wire however you want! This is how mine turned out:


Once the glue is dry, you can finally wear it and find your inner flower child!
