DIY Flower Crown/Headband

Flower Crown/Headband



 

 

 

 

-Things You'll Need For This DIY-

 

Flowers

They can be real or fake and big or small just depending on your preferences. You can get them at craft stores or Dollar Tree but I used fake flowers from Walmart and they were $3. I decided on one type of flower for the whole headband.

 

Headband/Crown

You can use headbands, wire, elastic, or even string. I used a stretchy headband because I felt like it's more secure on my head, but you can use whatever you like best. I bought the Goody 6 pack. They were $2.98 at my Walmart. I really liked that they had different colors. You can use a color that matches the flowers or your hair color. My hair is dark so I used black, but I also thought black looked good with the dark purple flowers I chose. If you use wire or elastic, make sure you measure it to fit your head.

 

 

Scissors & Wire Cutters

I have these pliers that have wire cutters on them so that's what I used. It would also be handy to have it if you use wire to make your crown instead of headbands. You can use whatever type of scissors you'd like.

 

 

Hot Glue Gun

Mine is just a mini hot glue gun from Walmart, I think they're around $10.

 

 

Now that you have your supplies, let's get started!

 

First you can pick out which flowers you want to use and how many.

I just bent the ones that I wanted to use that way they were easier to cut. (Use wire cutters)

 

You can just pull them off of the stems if you want to but I thought they were easier to hold with stems. Plus, I like to use my wire cutters.

I laid them out how I wanted them to be and decided on four flowers.

 



You can pull off the leaves if there are any or you can just do the next step. 

(This step is only needed if you cut the stems.)

 





Then you can pull out the stems.

(If you didn't pull them out earlier.)

 



There will be a little nub that will need to be cut off so the bottom of the flower can be flat.

It will make it easier to glue on.



You can use scissors or your wire cutter.

 



 

 

Now line up your flowers and pick a headband/elastic or your wire crown.
You can put flowers all around the band or just in the front.

 

 

Decide if you want to include your leaves or not.

 

 

If you decide to use your leaves, you'll have to cut off the nubs.

 

 

 

After you cut it, the plastic on the top and bottom should easily come off and you'll be left with just the fabric.

 

 

 

Now you can start gluing them on. I decided to glue a flower over the seam of the headband so you wouldn't see it.

 

Hot glue time!

 



This would be the part where you could put on the leaves if you decided to use them.

I'd put some more glue after applying the leaves.

 

Then you could put them on your headband/crown.

 

Depending on how big your flowers are, you might have to leave some space in between.

Mine are big so I spaced them out an inch or so.

 

I ended up deciding on using five flowers instead of four.

 

 

I also decided I wanted leaves.

I did the same process-cutting the nub and removing the plastic.

But instead of putting them under the flowers, I put them between.

I applied some glue with my hot glue gun and stuck them in between each flower.

 

 

Here is the finished product!

Well I hope this works out for you if you try it! If you have any questions, leave a comment! :)

LUSH HAUL

LUSH HAUL

I've always wanted to try Lush products because they're cruelty-free. (not tested on animals) I've seen the store at the mall but it looked cramped, so I never went in. I finally looked online and picked out some things I wanted to try, and when I got paid, we went to the mall and looked at Lush. I couldn't find anything I was looking for and had to ask the workers. They were nice and talked to me about the products. The store is very smelly and could probably give you a headache, but it's not so bad once you get used to it.

 

The first thing I picked out were Toothy Tabs. I thought it was such a cool idea and it's cruelty-free! I bought Tom's of Maine toothpaste from Walmart and I just felt super paranoid that it was going to make my teeth fall out. I feel super comfortable with the Toothy Tabs though. I smelled them for a while but ultimately decided on Dirty and Chou Chou ...I Love You. I also got a sample of Ultrablast. Toothy Tabs are basically little circle tabs that you chew and brush on your teeth. They have basic flavors like spearmint to weird flavors like wasabi and tea. Toothy Tabs are vegan.

They also have:

Sparkle-Vanilla and black pepper,

Atomic-Spices with cloves,

Breath of God-Exotic perfumed powders,

Aquatic-Earl grey and jasmine.

 

($4.95)Dirty: Spearmint, neroli

($4.95)Chou Chou ...I Love You: Rose

(Free Sample) Ultrablast: Wasabi

 

 

 

My first time using Toothy Tabs was weird. I didn't like how salty the Toothy Tab was but I also chewed it with my back teeth instead of my front teeth. My second time using them (chewing the tab with my front teeth) was better and I liked it a lot more. I use them every morning and night and I never have to worry about trying to get toothpaste out of my toothbrush. Overall 10/10. I did enjoy Ultrablast a lot, so I'm going to purchase a box of those soon.

 

 

The second thing I looked for was solid perfume. They have the liquid perfume but I really wanted to try the solid perfume. I was only going to buy one since I knew it would last a long time. I couldn't decide between any of them. I picked out Lust and Karma. I didn't know which one I liked more and it was hard to smell because of all of the smells from everything else in the store. I picked Karma but after we left and I smelled it again, it just smelled spicy and I didn't really like it as much as I thought I did. I am definitely going to purchase some of the other smells though! In solids, they have:

Lust-Sensual jasmine, Breath of God-Deep cedarwood, vetivert and sandalwood meets light lemon, melon & neroli, Vanillary-Jasmine & Fairtrade vanilla absolutes layered with the burnt caramel scent of Tonka bean, and Imogen Rose-Real rose oil and rose absolute. Solid perfumes are vegan.

They also have some other scents on their online store as well as spray perfumes!

 

($10.95) Karma: Pine, orange, and patchouli.

 

 

I didn't like the Karma scent; I'm more of a fruity-smell type of person? I tried it on my wrists and it lasted all day, even after trying to scrub the smell off. So the product is good but the smell just isn't for me.

 

 

I walked around and liked a few things but I couldn't decide on anything. I looked at some stuff called FUN and it looks and feels like play-doh. The girl said you can use it as body wash, shampoo, bubble bath, and shaving cream. I picked the red one and bought a soap case at Walmart to hold it in. FUN is vegan. They also had: Green FUN-lemon and lime, Blue FUN-lavender and Moroccan chamomile, Yellow FUN-vanilla, and Pink FUN-candy.

 

($6.95) Red FUN: Mandarin and orange.

 

 

I bought a red case for my Red FUN, and I bought Tyler a green case so he could try it with me. They all smell so amazing. I haven't really tested out all of the things you can do with it, but I did use it as shaving cream and it made my legs smell really good. It's also fairly easy to use. I will definitely buy the other colors.

 

 

 

At the counter I seen these bars of soap that had fins on them, the profits go towards helping sharks. Every year up to 100 million sharks are killed for shark fin soup. That's ridiculous! I bought one but I should have bought 20. They smell great and they're helping a good cause.

($5.95) Shark Fin Soap

 

 

 

I also wanted to try the deodorant bars, but I was too scared to buy it and it not work for me etc. so I decided to wait on that. I think next time I will buy some shower gel and shampoo bars to try. I might also buy some Henna hair dye! Overall, I am satisfied with my purchases. I just wish I would have bought a different solid perfume. I'm excited to try new things from Lush. I hope you check them out too!

I also forgot to mention that since the products are handmade, they have stickers on them that say who made them. I thought that was really cool!
