Flower Crowns
This delicate and bohemian flower crown is a great summer music festival accessory and looks particularly amazing paired with a lightweight dress or jeans. Pictured from left to right here, the flowers used to create this crown include white wax flowers, white and purple wildflowers, chamomile flowers, and assorted greenery.

    Step 1

    Gather 2–4 small sprigs of assorted flowers, cutting and leaving each stem no longer than 3–4 inches. Pinch the bunch and the moss-covered wire together with your thumb and index finger. Hold this bunch together while preparing to form a flower chain.
