Planning
Get your blooms ready
● Ensure they have all had a big drink prior to prepping them. ● When conditioning the foliage it’s good to leave a section of the stem without leaves, this makes it easier to attach to the crown. ● Strip all the foliage off the stems of the blooms that you don’t want to appear in the crown of the flowers. ● If the flowers that you are using are very delicate, you may need to wire them to make them more robust.Making the crown
1. Take a measurement of your head, you can either do this by using a tape measure and cutting the wire to size or by wrapping a length of wire around your head. Make sure you cut the wire a little longer than your head, so that you can make fastenings. 2. Next you need some floral tape, the type that goes sticky when you pull it. Cover the wire with the tape, making sure you keep it taut and tight as you wind it around so that it becomes sticky. 3. Make two loops at each end and cover with wire, this is where you will thread the ribbon through. 4. Select your flowers and starting from one end begin taping each flower onto the wire. Overlap the stems. Keep adding to the crown, fastening as you go and mixing up the blooms and foliage. 5. If you are making a full crown, continue adding blooms and foliage, alternating between the two. 6. Once you finished adding the blooms, fasten off the tape at the end close to the loop. 7. Then loop the ribbon through the fastening and voila, there you have a crown.
