Make a gorgeous flower crown just under $2

17 April

Flower tiaras are beautiful isn’t it?
I fancy tiaras but somehow I just don’t buy it because I always wanted to make it.
You can buy one but it will cost you more because the material for this flower crown won't cost more than Rs.100($1.5) whereas ready-made tiaras may cost 300-400 per piece and who doesn't like inexpensive things?
You'll need:
  • Organdy fabric (red & pink)
  • Scissor 
  • Green thread
  • Wire
  • Green tape 
Steps :
  • Wrap the wire around your head where you want your tiara to be, it will bend easily and the base is ready, if you are not able to cover it with one wire connect another and cover the whole band with the green tape as shown in image below.


  • Cut the organdy fabric into small squares (5cm), according to my band size I used 30 roses and placed it close to each other for which I used 90 squares however if you don’t want to cut so many you can use 20 roses and place it at the distance of 4cm even that will appear to be beautiful.
  • Now for the roses,
    Fold the corners of the square to create the shape shown in image 3, then fold it along the center line like the 4th image.
 
  • Curve the edges as shown in the 2nd image, you can use pen refill or toothpick or you can do it easily with your fingers.
  • Roll the first petal around the wire tie it with the green thread and roll 3 times now place the second petal around it, knot and roll I used three petals for one rose. You may you more petals if you want bigger roses.
    Now remove the wire by sliding it downwards.
  • Next step is to attach the roses to the band, place the rose on the band and start rolling the green thread attaching backside of the rose to the band as shown in the image below.  Stop when it is tight enough and do that again for rest of the roses.
  • Once you attach all the roses, cover all the thread part with the green tape.

Your handmade tiara is ready!
