If you’ve decided to take up the challenge – an easy one at that since they only require a few supplies – of making your own special foral head wreaths, here’s the 411 on the things you will need and how you can go about making these gorgeous
headbands.

THINGS YOU’LL NEED:
- Floral wire
- Measuring tape
- Wire cutter
- Floral stem tape / Florist green tape
- Fresh fowers, greenery
- Scissors
- Spray Bottle
- Water
- Ribbon (Optional)

INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Using the measuring tape, measure the circumference of the wreath-wearer’s head at the point where the wreath is intended to sit on the head. E.g: The crown or at the forehead.

2. Use wire cutters to cut the foral wire but be sure to cut it 1 to 2 inches longer than the head measurement.
3. Bend the cut wire into a circle shape. When the ends meet, overlap the two ends 1 to 2 inches over each other and use the foral stem tape or forist green tape to bind the two ends together.
