How to Make a Flower Wreath for the Hair

Flower hair wreaths are popular to wear as a "crown" during a wedding, first communion or for just playing around. Although a simple hair accessory, wedding wreaths can be extremely expensive. If you're feeling crafty, try to make your own. You can use real or fake flowers--for real flowers, it will have to be made the night before the wedding--and you can create it to match your own personal style with a few simple and inexpensive products.

Instructions

    1

    Place the florist wire around your head. Florist wire works best because it's bendable and forms well into a circle.

    2

    Cut off the excess wire with wire cutters. Bend one end of the wire into a loop; bend the other end into a hook. This creates an easy hook-and-eye for when you're ready to wear your wreath. Secure the ends of the wire with stem tape to prevent sharp ends.

    3

    Tape all the way around the florist wire with stem tape so when the wreath is finished, it cannot be seen.

    4

    Use small fake flowers for this project--it will give the wreath a lush look. Cut all of the stems so that they are short and easy to glue to the wreath, and tape them with stem tape.

    5

    Apply a small drop of hot glue to the wreath. Attach your first flower or flowers. Start at one end of the wreath and work your way to the other end.

    6

    Continue adding a small drop of glue, then gluing the flowers. The more flowers you have, the more lush it will look.

    7

    Place the finished wreath on your head, hooking the hook-and-eye together to secure it.
