How to Make Floral Crowns : Materials and Tools

To make floral crowns yourself, all you need are the following materials.

oasis floral tape
covered floral wire
floral shears and wire cutters
flowers and greenery of choice

Instructions:

Wrap the covered floral wire around your head to get the right circumference. Cut and attach the ends to make a ring out of the wire. Double it for extra strength.
Cut your pieces of greenery and flowers to desired lengths. Place a flower on top of the wire ring and wrap together with floral tape. Add a second flower on top of the first flower stem, and wrap with floral tape. Repeat until your ring is full of blooms.
The floral wire is nice to use if you don’t want to fill your crown with flowers all the way around.

4 Ways to Rock that Floral Crown

1. Boho Chic – mainly greens: tree fern, myrtle and broom corn

2. Wild for Color – zinnias, sunflowers, myrtle and tree fern

3. Soft and Romantic – green tea roses, pink alstromaria, myrtle, tree fern, wax flower

4. A Sweet Surprise – the white hydrangea and purple one : lime light hydrangea, broom corn

So there you have it! I hope I have inspired you to #SavorSummer and make your own floral crowns! Post your crown and share it on Instagram using #SavorSummer and tag @lauratrevey @marthastewart so we can like and regram.
