June's Flower Crown printable June 01, 2016 22:15

You will need

Starting with the daisy, cut out the petal shapes. The slightly larger daisy goes under the smaller one. Using your stick or knitting needle, curl the petals over for a realistic look. Cut out a yellow circle for the centre; you can even curve this over your finger to give it a 3D shape

Next the peony. Cut out all the petals from the pink card, and curve the petals over your stick to give them a realistic look. Peonies curl back and forth so don't be afraid to do lots of different waves in them

Take the individual petals and glue them together into a bud shape

Then glue the bottom of the bud and stick it into the centre of the smallest petal shape. Close these petals up and squash them around to form a natural look. Repeat this with each set of petals, working from the smaller set to the larger set

Cut out as many leaf shapes as you like. These can be curled over to give them shape

Take your wire and bend it into a curve, glue the ribbon onto each end by wrapping it around. Then cut the ribbon in two in the middle

Now you can arrange your flower crown. Glue a base of leaves on first. If you are finding it hard to stick the leaves on, stick a strip of green card behind the wire. Then glue each flower into place. If you want, you can cut out the small extra flower shapes

Now you're ready to celebrate Midsummer or a day at the festival!
