Christmas Floral crowns

I made some crowns for the girls to wear for Christmas photos so I thought I would share my little craft with you.

Supplies:

• tree clippings (boxwood is my fav, I bought a small one from Lowes for $7 which I will plant and can use next year to make a wreath :), its hard to find anything evergreen here in Texas so I also used some clippings from a cypress tree in my front yard)
• floral tape
• floral wire
• twine or ribbon
• embellishments such as flowers or cranberries

I cut some wire that wrapped across my head just behind my ears.  The girls weren't home to measure so I just figured this length would work.  Then I wrapped the wire with floral tape to cover it.

Then laid out my clippings to see how many I needed and started wrapping them to the wire with the tape.

These clippings were from the tree I have in my front yard.  It was pretty bushy so I used some wire to tie it back then stuffed the dried flowers into the wire.

Lastly I used some floral tape to wrap some twine to the ends for tie backs.

For the boxwood crown I added cranberries.  I just pushed wire through them and wrapped the other end to the crown.

I can't wait to see how the girls look in them.  Stay tuned for some Christmas photos :)
