Unless you’ve been under a rock, I’m sure you’ve noticed the ever growing floral crown trend, on both girls and women alike. Originating in the times of Ancient Greece, we recently saw this boho chic accessory on the spring 2014 runways of designers like Dolce & Gabbana.
Not a fan of artificial flowers and real ones lack longevity? Well, I’ve got the perfect solution for you — floral trim from Mood Fabrics. It can be just the thing you need to do the trick.
SUPPLIES: scissors, glue, elastic, needle and thread, and floral trim
HOW-TO:
1. Measure your head for the length of elastic and trim you’ll need.
2. Go ahead and cut them.
3. The trim I bought was a little longer than needed, so I carefully cut the design close to the flower.
4. Lay out your trim and glue your elastic to the back (approximately in the middle).
5. Place the glue on one side of the trim and fold in half. Let it dry for a couple hours.
6. Lastly, use your needle and thread to stitch the crown closed. You’re all done.
