DIY Flower Crowns

This easy flower crown tutorial was documented when myself and some very willing to help friends of mine got together to make about 30 of them for my sisters baby shower (boho shower post here).

This is what you will need.. scissors to cut sprigs of flowers, babies breath, wire cutters, wire and flower tape from your local Micheals.

Start on one side of the wire as far down as you choose.
Hold the snipped piece of flower alongside the wire and start wrapping the flower tape around it until it feels secure.

Keep placing sprigs of flowers on top of the last, slowly making your way down the wire while wrapping the tape as you go.

It makes it easier if you cut lots of little flower sprigs so they are ready to wrap.
Place the flowers closer together for a fuller look or further apart for a lesser look.  

Done! I didn't go all the way to the ends but you totally could for a fuller continues look.  

Good Luck and Happy Crown Making!

Side Hair Headband Twist

Scroll Down to see step by step how I achieved this look..

1 - I started with curly hair, you can do this style with clean straight hair, fresh curls, or even a couple days old (needing to be washed) hair! 
Start with placing the headband into the position you like. 

2 - leave some hair out around your face to make for a softer look. You could also pull all hair back from around your face. Find your first section of hair you would like to pull back and spin it around the headband. I would pass my piece of hair through to my other hand and pull it through making a loop around the headband.

3 - Grab your next section and continue looping hair around headband towards the back of your head.  

4 - When that side is near the back (side of head) and enough hair is looped start working on the other side.

5 - In the picture shown I took 3 different sections and looped them around the headband (picking up hair I had already looped). I am now working on one more piece to continue the looping around the back towards the other side of my head.

6 - Done, I left the rest of my hair down and just pulled the rest forward to one side. feel free to make as many loops as you like and loosen up hair at top (crown) of head as lots of your back combing will become flat when pulling your sections of hair through. By 'massaging' the crown of your head you should be able to gain some height back up!

  (Ignore all the loose hairs on my shirt, I'm dealing with postpartum baby hair loss! Haha)

This style is near effortless and super cute on shorter cuts as well.
