How to Make a Floral Princess Crown

A floral princess crown is a beautiful accessory for a girl! No need to spend too much money on it; it's easy to make one. As long as you know how to braid, you will surely know how to create this floral crown.

1. Pick your flowers. Find a bouquet of flowers with bendable stems at least 3 inches in length (longer is better). It can be of only one type of flower, or a variety! Examples of flower types are: rose, lavender, daisy, clover, violet, daffodil, flax, and the tulip.
   
   
2. Hold 3 flowers and braid them. Hold the few flowers in your hands, placing the blossoms next to one another in a row. Yet keep the stems together. Then simply braid the stems. If your working with real flowers, be gentle so you don't break the stems.
   
   
3. Continue adding flowers. Add a flower to the braid before you reach the end of the current stems. Hold it with one of the stems and braid as though the two stems were one. Keep on adding new flowers and extending the chain in this way.
   
   
   • Alternate flower varieties to enhance color, texture, and beauty.
4. Check the length. Every once in a while, keep an eye on the length. Make sure to not make it too long or too short. If too short, continue adding more flowers. If too long, carefully remove some flowers to your desired length.
   
   
5. Finish the crown. Finally, complete it by weaving the end stems into the first flower stems. Tuck in the loose ends into the chain. Make sure it is tight enough to not fall apart.
   
   
6. Crown the princess! It's time for the final step: crowning the lucky girl with your beautiful floral creation. Whether it's for you or another girl, make sure it's worn with delight!
