A headband with flowers adds femininity and tenderness to the look. A girl with such a headband will look natural and graceful.
A headband with flowers with your own hands is suitable for photography, because it can turn a girl into a forest nymph or fairy, or allow a girl to emphasize her individuality by decorating her hair with such a beautiful decoration.
A hairstyle with such a headband will add fabulousness and originality to the image.
You can also find models wearing such jewelry in fashion magazines.
Accessories made from artificial flowers
For such headbands, artificial flowers are often used because this is the most practical option, since real flowers cannot be used more than once.
A wreath of artificial flowers is not difficult to make yourself. All you need is glue and flowers. To create a wreath, you need to paste over the rim, taking into account the color scheme.
The most successful decoration is considered to be one made from large flowers, such as roses. This option is suitable for a wedding, birthday, and will create an original look for a long-awaited event, but it is unlikely that it is appropriate for daily wear.
If the buds on the headband are smaller, it is appropriate to wear it daily. This headband is also suitable for the bride.
Making such a wreath will not be difficult even for novice craftswomen. Using your imagination, you can easily make such a wreath at home.
Let's look at the stages
Before you start work, decide what material you will make it from. A paper crown is made very easily and quickly. You will need to print a suitable template from the Internet and, after choosing the color of the product, cut out the sketch. Glue the edges, decorate with various things, and you're done.
But these are children, they are in a constant rhythm. One awkward move and your work will be irreparably ruined. Paper is good, but its main drawback is that it wrinkles easily and tears quickly.
Cardboard is another matter, because it is dense and reliable. You can already be calm about your creation. And another advantage of a crown made of cardboard is that it will not bend under the abundance of decorations. So don’t be stingy and feel free to create.
- Cut a rectangle of the required width according to the volume of your child’s head. If you do not have the required color of cardboard, you can cover it with paper of the required shade;
- attach the leaves in any order, in any way that suits you;
- To prevent the leaves from shrinking, after drying, cover them with large transparent tape.
Real autumn leaves will serve as an excellent decoration. For a girl, you can fill the leaves with glitter hairspray.
Don't be discouraged if you don't have the required attribute on hand. They can be cut out of colored paper, and they will be no worse than the real thing. Look in the pictures for more details.
One important tip: involve your child in the craft and do it together. This will help him develop accuracy and thriftiness with things. It’s also just fun and interesting, and this day will remain in children’s memory for a long time.
Accessories made from fresh flowers
For a wedding arrangement, it is better to use real flowers, because live buds will be the best option for such an event. When choosing flowers, you must take into account the fact that they fade quickly, and this decoration will not last more than a few hours.
In order for the wreath to last at least one day, you need to choose flowers that do not dry quickly and spray them with a special solution. Then the accessory can last the entire event.
Large rosebuds will help create a memorable image, and wildflowers will surprise guests at the wedding and give the bride’s style an unusual look. Chamomiles, cornflowers or dandelions will add even more charm to the image, and will not spoil it in any way. Roses attached to a thin elastic band will create the image of a sophisticated and elegant bride. Such an accessory can only be limited by the color scheme and your imagination.
You can add beads and various types of berries to the headband. It is also simple to do: all the selected components are glued to the base, which will add a piquant look to the image.
Trend of the season
The first place is occupied by long thick flowing hair and a headband with large flowers in addition. You can use this decoration for every day and combine it with bright accessories.
A braid braided on one side with a rim of large flowers will look beautiful. Or a retro hairstyle with an accessory of medium-sized flowers.

Selecting a base
It is better to choose classic shades (black or white) for the base-rim. These colors will harmoniously combine with this or that clothing. Decorating in classic shades is appropriate to go to a party or to work. For older women, wide, plain headbands are suitable.
Also, the color of the decoration depends on the choice of event or weather conditions. It is better that the color scheme matches the bag or shoes.
