Try using large, medium, and small flowers. This will give your crown some variety.

Place the largest flowers in the top/front of the crown. Use smaller and smaller flowers as you go towards the back of the crown. Try having all the flowers pointing in the same direction, towards or away the top of the crown. The flowers don’t have to be right up against each other. You can have them spaced as close together or as far apart as you want. Instead of attaching flowers all the way around the wire base, place them only on the top.

Daisies and dandelions are classical, but you can also use alyssum or forget-me-nots. Flowering herbs, such as mint, thyme, oregano, chamomile, and lavender work as well. Not only will they look beautiful but, they will smell amazing.

If you don’t have any floral wire, use twist ties or thread instead.

Try using different types of flowers. This will add color, texture, and beauty. Don’t be afraid to weave in a few leaves, vines, or grasses.

Choose a ribbon that is the same width as your headband. Cut it so that it is 2 inches (5. 08 centimeters) longer than your headband. Center the ribbon on top of the headband, and hot glue it down. There will be an inch (2. 54 centimeters) of ribbon handing off of each end. Cover both ends of the ribbon with glue, and fold them under the headband. Put a drop of hot glue onto one end of the headband. Press the end of a long piece of ribbon down onto the glue. Wrap the ribbon around the headband, like a candy cane. Start from one end and move towards the other. Try to overlap the ribbon slightly. This way, you will cover the headband entirely and not get any patches.

Don’t snip too much off, however. This little nub helps hold the flower together. If you cut too much off, the flower may fall apart.
