DaliRae: DIY Flower Headband

I've actually already done a post on flower crowns but I decided to make another one in a different way. You can read my last post here.

So I won't talk about flower crowns but I will just say that I have made a flower crown before but it was the method using wire so it was quite uncomfortable however today It will be with elastic and string so let's get started! ----->

What You'll Need:

Not finished yet. Don't judge

First you want to get your string and measure it about ¾ around your head since the elastic will take care of the other quarter. Cut the string and this next bit is optional depending on the thickness of the string. I decided to plait the string so it was thicker and I could put the flowers on easier but of course this is optional. If you do it, just tie the ends in a small, tight knot. After that, I decided to cut the elastic to size and sew it on to the string. The sewing is optional since you can just glue it or tie them together. I just feel safer with that extra "secureness". As you can see in the picture, it doesn't exactly look amazing at this point. Oh and I didn't cut off that extra elastic at the end because I have a very limited supply of black elastic and I just wanted to keep it incase something happened. By limited, I mean that is the only bit I have from some old shorts or something!

Now pick off or cut off the main flowers and start planning where you are going to put them. I decided to just use 5 flowers. What you also have to do is trim the stalks since I didn't cut them enough so they stick out now a little bit which is a bit of a bummer.

The only thing next to do is hot glue them on. I had all the 5 pins all in place before I hot glued so I knew exactly where to put them. So yeah. Just glue on the pins and pop the flower on. When I did it, I held it in place for a few seconds since hot glue is known for its rapid drying time.
