Looking for a simple and sweet way to spend a sunny afternoon? Flower crowns are the perfect summer craft — beautiful, easy to make, and a big hit with kids and grown-ups alike. Whether you're prepping for a garden party or just want a fun way to get crafty outdoors, this step-by-step guide will have you blooming with creativity!

What You'll Need:

Faux flowers (or fresh flowers from the garden!)
Floral wire
Floral tape or green washi tape
Wire cutters or scissors
Ribbon (optional for extra flair)

Step 1: Build the Base

Cut a piece of floral wire long enough to wrap around your (or your child’s) head, plus a little extra to twist closed. Wrap it into a circle and twist the ends to secure.

Step 2: Prep Your Flowers

Trim the stems of your faux or real flowers, leaving about 2 inches of stem. Group small flowers together for fuller sections.

Step 3: Start Wrapping

Using floral tape, attach each flower stem to the wire base. Start at one side and work your way around, overlapping the flowers slightly to cover the tape and wire.

Tips & Tricks

Let kids pick their favorite flower colors to personalize their crowns.
Fresh flowers work beautifully but fade fast — faux ones will last all summer.
