Flower
Chains
by W.Holidays
skill level: easy
cost:
$5-$20
craft time: 20 minutes
you will need
a bunch of flowers,
real or artificial with a stem that is at least 4" long
floral tape,
available at craft stores and florist shops
material ribbon, 1/4 inch in
width
Measure the top of your head where the flower wreath will
lie.
Remove leaves from the stems of the flowers.
Place two flowers
together, one slightly below the other.
Hold one end of the floral tape to
stems where the flowers come together.
Begin to gently pull the tape (it will
stretch), twist the flowers, wrapping the tape around. Be sure to overlap the
tape.
After 3 wraps add another flower just below the others and continue
wrapping the floral tape around.
Continue in this matter until the flower
chain is as long as the measurement you took earlier.
Bring the ends of the
flower chain together and bind them with floral tape.
Cut ribbons to a
desired length, about half way down your back.
Tie 5 or so ribbons to the
back of the wreath (to dangle in your hair).
