Spring! How to make flower crowns. :)

I am sure that all of us can hardly wait for spring to arrive. I know that I can't. :) The blooming of roses, daffodils, hyacinths, etc, is just going to be superb. We can also finally lay off the hats, gloves, and coats and wear fun dresses and skirts. :) 

I also can hardly wait to make flower crowns. Have you ever made one?

Instructions

1. • 1
     Gather several fresh flowers in a variety of sizes and colors. The number of flowers will depend on the size of the crown and the types of flowers, but most crowns will require approximately 2 to 3 dozen individual flowers or small bunches of miniature flowers. Choose any flower you like such as jasmine, stephanotis, baby's breath, daisies, bluebells, carnations or orchids. Wildflowers work beautifully in real flower crowns, or take advantage of bright yellow dandelions that appear every spring.
   • 2
     Use scissors to cut the flowers. Leave 4 to 5 inches of stem on each flower.
   • 3
     Cut a piece of floral or craft wire long enough to wrap around the crown of your head twice. Make a hoop shape that fits comfortably on your head, then secure the ends with a small piece of floral tape.
   • 4
     Place the stem of a flower on the hoop and secure it with floral tape. Leave about 2 inches of floral tape so you can tie a knot when you finish the crown.
   • 5
     Overlap the next flower over the stem of the first flower and continue to secure the stems to the wire with floral tape. Add flowers until the entire hoop is covered, then tie the ends of the floral tape.
   • 6
     Trim any long stems that protrude from the flower crown.
