Flower Crowns

The materials |
So yesterday I was very inspired to make one of these floral crowns, I've found that they have been very "trendy" I guess you could say, lately. So I made a quick trip to Walmart to pick up the materials to make it myself!
First off your going to need:
- Fake flowers (of your choice of course, I went with pink and white)
- Elastic band (found in the sewing section, I went with black but if there was the option of brown I probably would have gone with that... But you choose whatever you wish!)
- Scissors
- Super glue (I made one crown with this then got a bit annoyed with how long it was taking for the glue to dry so I just went with a good old hot glue gun)
- Starbucks green tea lemonade
- Bon Iver playlist on shuffle

The headband |
- I started off measuring the size of my head with a little bit of room to be able to over lap the elastic to make a seam.
- I glued both ends of the elastic together making sure that it was not twisted before glueing.
- While the glue was drying, I cut the flowers off of their plastic stem making sure that the bottom of the flower was flat enough to glue down but not too much that the flower fell completely apart.
- Once the headband and flowers were ready, I laid out how I wanted the flowers to be placed. I chose to alternate between big and small flowers.
- Next I just glued on the flowers, firmly pressing them down to make sure they set in the place that I wanted them to. But if you're using super glue, please don't glue your fingers to the headband!!!
- Wait for all the glue to dry completely before trying on your new fabulous flower headband!
