Festival season is here, and it’s giving crowning glory! Whether you're getting your outfit ready for a music festival, planning a backyard brunch, or just need an excuse to wear flowers in your hair (because, why not?), a flower crown is the move. 🌸✨
If the idea of making one feels a little intimidating, don’t worry, we’ve got you! This step-by-step guide shows you how to turn the flowers in your next DIY Bloom Box into a crown-worthy creation. It’s low pressure, super fun, and a cute way to tap into the joy and calm of flower arranging.
🌸 What You’ll Need:
Let’s get into it. Here’s what you’ll need to make your crown:
🌸 Fresh flowers (our Bloom Box blooms are perfect for this!)
🌸 Green floral wire
🌸 Floral tape
🌸 Wire cutters or strong scissors
🌸 Greenery or filler (think eucalyptus, ruscus, waxflower)
🌸 Ribbon (optional, for the fairy princess finish)
🌸 Optional: flower glue for extra hold
💐 The Best Blooms for Your Crown:
Not all flowers are crown material, some are better suited to the spotlight. Here are our faves that hold up well and look gorgeous all day:
💐 Spray roses
💐 Ranunculus
💐 Daisies
💐 Craspedia (Billy Balls)
💐 Mini carnations
💐 Statice
💐 Waxflower
💐 Chamomile
💐 Eucalyptus or ruscus for that lush greenery base
✨ Tip: Stick to blooms with smaller heads and sturdy stems. They’re easier to work with and stay looking fresh longer.
👑 How to Make Your Flower Crown:
- Start with the base
Wrap floral wire around your head like a halo to size it, and leave a little extra to secure it. - Add greenery
Use floral tape to wrap greenery around the wire base. This sets the vibe and gives your crown shape. - Prep your petals
Trim stems to 1–2 inches. Bundle 2–3 small flowers together with a bit of greenery and tape them up. - Build your masterpiece
Starting from one side, tape each bundle to the crown base, overlapping slightly as you go. Mix colors, textures, and flower sizes for a layered, whimsical feel. - Finish strong
Twist or tape the ends, add a ribbon if you're feeling fancy, and give everything a little fluff. You’re now officially royalty. 👑
🌿 Pro Tips:
🌿 Want it to last? Give your crown a mist and keep it in the fridge until showtime.
🌿 Mix it up: Combine fresh + dried flowers for a textured, long-lasting look.
🌿 Sticky situations? Flower glue is your bestie for tricky or delicate blooms.
🌿 Feeling bold? Go asymmetrical or crown just one side.
🌿 Most important: Don’t overthink it—let your creativity (and the flowers) do their thing!
