DIY Wire Bead Crown

Floral crowns are the hottest wedding trend nowadays. The boho style fashion is favored by brides after brides. They can be wreath decorated with real flowers, fake flowers. And they can be also made with embellished beads. Here, I’d like to share an easy DIY wire and bead crown. Enjoy it by crafting your own!( tutorial source from: Style Me Pretty )

Materials for making flower crown:
Scissors
Round nose pliers
Diagonal cutting pliers
24 gauge craft wire
Beads
Sewing tape measure
Ribbon

How:
1st, measure and cut a piece of wire 6 times the length of the circumference of your head.
2nd, fold the long piece of wire in half around the round-nose pliers and begin twisting the wire. Continue until you have 4 inches of twisted wire.

3rd, once you reach 4 inches, take a bead and thread it onto the wire. Determine how long you want the first “branch” to be and fold the wire at that length with the bead in the middle and twist all the way down.


4th, twist for 1 inch and then add another bead.

5th, continue twisting and adding “branches” as you please, making sure to measure the progress you’ve made by holding it up against your forehead and looking in a mirror. The last “branch” should end just past your left ear. Once you’ve reached this point, twist for 4 inches.

6th, after the 4 inches, wrap one of the ends of the wire around the round-nose pliers. Twist that wire around the end a few times and then use the diagonal cutting pliers to cut off the remaining wire as well as the other end of the wire. Then, cut two pieces of ribbon long enough to tie into a bow and attach to the loop on each end with a knot.
