Crown of Love (And By Love I Mean Flowers)
Modcloth, one of my favorite online stores, also happens to run a blog. From time to time, they publish DIY projects. When I saw this tutorial for a flower crown, I knew I HAD to try it out! I love hair accessories (especially ones appropriate for short hair) and flowers are my favorite type, hands-down. So I headed to JoAnn’s and bought the supplies (did you know that if you show a college ID in the month of July, JoAnn’s will give you 20% off?).
Modcloth’s version:
And here’s my version - a bit smaller, but in my opinion more wearable:
The only thing I did differently was to use some glue. My florist tape didn’t stick well, and so I used glue to affix the tape ends and to make sure that my flowers were extra secure. I have to secure the flower crown with bobby pins if I plan to wear it out and move around much. I really like the way it looks. Thanks Modcloth!
