A floral wreath in the hair is the ultimate accessory for festivals, summer parties, and romantic campfire evenings. Instead of using real flowers that wilt quickly, simply opt for artificial flowers. These look just as beautiful and last much longer. In this step-by-step guide, you'll learn how to create your own floral headband with ease. Get inspired and bring the flower power into your summer outfits with us!
Preparing Materials
For your floral headband, you'll need various materials from the floristry section. First, measure your head circumference at the spot where the flower wreath will sit later. Add a few centimeters to make the wreath flexible enough to open and close.
Forming and Preparing the Headband
Use craft wire to shape the headband. Cut the felt sheet to size for the craft wire so that the felt encloses the wire. In our example, we used a green felt sheet. Glue the felt around the wire with hot glue.
Adding Artificial Flowers
Using florist tape, you can now secure the artificial flowers. You can find a wide selection of artificial flowers online. Use a side cutter to clip the flowers from the stems. Enhance the wreath with a few leaves for an especially lovely look. If the artificial flowers don't hold well enough, you can secure them additionally with hot glue.
Final Decoration
Use organza ribbon for a beautiful finish. In our hair wreath, we used two colors. Cut two equal lengths of organza ribbon per color. They should be long enough as the ribbon will be doubled. Glue the doubled organza ribbons to the ends of the headband and decorate these spots with artificial flowers and leaves to make the glue points invisible.
Allow everything to dry well before putting on your new flower wreath and feeling like a flower child.
