How to Make a Paper Flower Crown for Summer with Additional Tips

Summer is the perfect time for paper crafts; what could be an ideal way to honor the season than creating a paper flower crown? Make a statement with a DIY paper flower crown! Perfect for any summer occasion, from festivals to picnics in the park. 

Materials:

• Colored paper
• Scissors
• Glue
• Green pipe cleaners
• Pencil
• Ruler

Instructions:

Step 1: Draw and cut out flower petal shapes from colored paper, such as daisies, roses, or sunflowers.

Step 2: Create the flower centers. Cut out small circles of paper, approximately 1 inch in diameter, to use as the flower centers. You can choose any color, but yellow is excellent for a classic sunflower look.

Step 3: Assemble the flowers. Glue the bottom edge of a petal and stack it on top of another, aligning the edges, then press down to secure. Repeat with additional petals to create the flower. Keep adding petals until your flower is complete.

Step 4: Add the center. Put glue on the back of your paper circle and place it in the center of the flower. Press down to stick it in place.

Step 5: Create the crown base. Take your green pipe cleaners and measure around your head. Add an extra inch to the measurement to ensure a comfortable fit. Cut two pieces of pipe cleaner to this length.

Step 6: Attach the flowers to the crown base. Take your completed flowers and attach them to the pipe cleaner base. Bend a pipe cleaner into a circle and twist the ends together. Wrap the bottom of each flower stem around the pipe cleaner circle and secure it with a bit of glue.

Step 7: Finishing touches. Add some final touches by filling any gaps in the crown with green paper leaves or flowers. You can also add some extra decorations, like glitter or beads, to give your height some sparkle.

There you go - now you have your own unique paper flower crown! Wear it to your next summer event and enjoy the warm weather with a beautiful accessory.
