DIY - FLOWER CROWNS

This past weekend, I threw a late birthday bbq in prospect park.  It was so much fun! Besides eating a ton of food (I made caramel cuts and rice crispie treats, and we grilled a ton of burgers and hotdogs) we made really cute flower crowns!  These flower crowns remind me of the haku leis we make Hawaii!


It was my party, so I didn't spend any time taking how to photos, but this DIY is really simple.  All you need is wire (I got some wrapped in green raffia), floral stem tape, scissors, and flowers.  Measure you head with wire, cut leaving a few extra inches, and twist the ends to connect the circle.  Snip the flowers with about an inch of stem.  Wrap the flower stem to the wire with the floral stem tape, lay the next flower over the wrapped stem part and wrap with floral stem tape, repeat!

Super simple and super cute!  I loved how everyone's crown was unique even though we were all using the same two types of flowers!
