Materials
- Floral Wire
- Sheers
- 1 - 2 Bundles Baby's Breath Flowers
- Floral Tape
3. Add flowers to the wire. Place the little bundles on the crown Then wrap a strip of floral tape around the stem and wire base. The tape gets sticky when stretched as you will need to tug it as you wrap
4. Go as far around as you like. Keep adding flowers to your crown, until you get the look you want. For a full aesthetic, use tightly bound springs. Conversely, use less but more loosely bound sprigs for whimsy.
We made a full crown here that took two bunches of baby's breath.
Tip: If you use real flowers they’ll last about 24 hours. We make ours then put in a cooler topped with a paper towel to keep in moisture.
Tip: Be prepared to be amazed, re-purpose this pretty. Baby's Breathe dries beautifully so don't toss it when you're done. Pull out some ribbon, I like double sided satin, silk or linen, tie a bow and hang it on your door. Viola! It's a wreath!
So you have your own DIY Baby's Breath flower crown (and hello there, a wreath)! Have fun making. Take lots of pictures and share them with us so we know how it turns out.
