We ladies like to feel like princesses. That is why, this Valentine’s Day, I am looking forward to making all my favorite girls feel like the most special, beautiful and vibrant empresses. My plan: floral crowns.
Materials (makes two flowers):
- 8 pieces of 10 in x 7.5″ tissue paper
- 3 inch piece of wire
- Scissors
- Glue gun
- Plastic headband
Step One:
Stack the eight sheets of tissue and make half-inch accordion folds, creasing the tissue paper with each fold.
Step Two:
With scissors, cut the folded stack in half. Trim ends of the tissue into rounded or pointed shapes, depending on the type of flower you want to create.
Step Three:
Tie a small piece of wire around the center of each stack of paper. Separate the layers of tissue, pulling away from the center, until your entire flower has blossomed.
Step Four:
Create more flowers (about seven or eight for one crown) using steps 1-3 with a variety of colors — the more hues the better!
Step Five:
Heat up the glue gun and attach the flowers to the headband. Be as intricate and colorful as you would like.
Et voila!
