Few months back I had made my own lipstick and the next thing I felt like doing was a flower crown. Yes, they were quite the huge trend among teenagers, particularly in the US where it was concerts season and flower crowns were the norm to wear. I don't know where those girls got there flower crowns but I was really hooked to getting one when I watch this youtube video by Forever21 who upload a couple of DIY tutorials. I thought it was pretty easy and I knew which stores to get the materials and thankfully also have a friend who diys for cosplaying. So I manage to borrow some wires and a glue gun from her and it just made things easier for me.
Things needed:
- Glue gun
- Fake flowers (try get detachable ones)
- Felt material (preferably green coloured, though any color can do really)
- Some thin bendable wires
- Scissors

This isn't a tutorial so this is gonna be simple and brief. So I measured my head with one wire and after marking it, continue making it have more structure with more wires.
Then I cut some piece of felt. Originally I started out with square but it didn't cover enough area when I attempt to pinch them onto the stem of the flower with the wire. It look like it would come off easily as it didn't had a good hold of the flower and the hot glue can pour out the gap easily when I pinched so eventually I cut out rectangular shaped ones instead. After I put on glue on the felt, I would quickly take a flower that was place on the wire or in the gaps between the wires and pinch it with the felt. I continued this and should look like this:
It looks pretty ugly to me seeing it from this angle but when you put it on, no one can really see the green felt which was a relief. And I chose black and white flowers because both colours were really good so might as well have the best of both worlds right?
And voila! Now I don't know where I would wear this as there isn't much concerts going on usually and there are lately but there all taken place in KL. Though I do plan to use it for my second photo shoot with some friends and we'll mostly continue use it for photography related activities. This is all for now but there is gonna be another post soon! Seeya!
