Flower Crowns: 30 Enchanting DIY Floral Creations

I decided I wanted to make flower crowns on a bit of a whim after browsing blogs and Instagram. I didn’t want to buy premade ones- I love crafting, and I loved the idea of making my own! I purchased this book and fell in love. There are wonderful photographs in this book that help you out every step of the way, with suggestions and tips on how to make your flower crowns. I began with the Pretty Pastels Fresh Flower crown and I just loved every second of it. I got so many compliments on my fresh flower crown, and I wanted to wear it forever. This book is broken into seasons- Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter, and Special Occasions. I love all of them, for any time of the year! I also made a faux gardenia hair comb which is such a good way to add a bit of whimsy to an ordinary outfit. One great thing about this book is that it is easy to customize- although it provides guidelines and instructions; it’s so easy to change these crowns up to your own preferences. For instance, I’m currently working on the Under the Sea flower crown. The instructions call for fresh flowers, but it was so easy for me to use faux flowers to make it last longer. I love this book and if you’re at all interested in making flower crowns, you will too!
