There’s something magical about flower crowns – especially when they’re made with dried flowers. They’re light, timeless, and add a touch of whimsy to any celebration. Whether you’re hosting a garden party, attending a midsummer gathering, or just want to create something beautiful with your hands – this DIY is for you.
Let’s explore how to create your own dried flower crown and inspire different ways to wear and style it. From hair accessories to home décor, this slow and creative craft is filled with joy.
🌼 What You’ll Need
- A floral hoop or bendable wire (gold, silver or natural)
- Dried flowers and grasses (e.g., statice, bunny tails, eucalyptus, lavender)
- Floral tape or hot glue
- Thin floral wire
- Scissors or floral shears
- Optional: silk ribbon for tying
🌸 Step-by-Step: How to Make a Dried Flower Crown
- Shape the base: If using wire, form a gentle circle that fits around your head (or for hanging). Secure the ends by twisting.
- Prepare your flowers: Trim flower stems to ~5–7 cm. Group small bundles of 2–3 flowers with tape or wire.
- Attach flowers to the base: Start at one point and attach each bundle, slightly overlapping the previous. Work your way around the base for a full crown – or halfway for an open-back style.
- Finish the ends: Tie ribbon for a soft finish or continue wrapping with tape or twine.
- Style or display: Wear immediately, give as a gift, or hang on a wall!
💡 Ideas for Different Flower Crown Styles
Here are a few variations you can try depending on your style and occasion:
🌼 Wall Wreath Style
Perfect for entryways, living rooms, or bedrooms. Choose a larger hoop and focus on one side with floral elements for a minimal look.
🌸 Hair Crown for Celebrations
Ideal for midsummer, birthdays, bridal showers or fairy-inspired photoshoots. Use thin floral wire and small dried flowers for a delicate look.
🍂 Seasonal Crowns
Choose florals by season: lavender and baby’s breath for spring, eucalyptus and dried wheat for fall. Switch up ribbon colors to match the mood.
🧺 Why We Love It
Crafting a dried flower crown is more than just decoration – it’s a gentle, meditative experience. You reconnect with nature, practice patience, and create something truly unique. Plus, dried flowers last for months and bring beauty long after your celebration is over.
