This accessory will look great in your hair if you're invited to a wedding, going to a music festival or for a fancy dress party with friends. It's the little extra that will bring a bohemian spirit to any look!
You can adapt the color of the flowers by choosing other crepe papers to match the outfit you're going to wear. You can also make it more or less elaborate by adding or removing flowers. It's a question of taste: it's up to you to find your style!
And why not use it to decorate your home by hanging it on a wall or as a centerpiece? It's a pretty country-style decoration that will bring freshness and cheer to your home.

Cut a portion of boxwood garland corresponding to your head circumference +10cm and wrap the last centimetres together to form a boxwood wreath.
Cut out the flower petals according to the templates you wish to use.
Stretch the center of the petals to give them a concave shape. Roll the petals slightly outwards for a more aesthetic effect. Have fun varying the size and stretch of the petals to obtain very different flowers.
Cut out a rectangle of crepe paper and cut bangs along 3/4 of the width.
Apply Cleotoo white glue or hot glue to the uncut base of the crepe paper rectangle.
Roll up this base (for hot glue, apply a dot of glue and roll up as you go).
Before the glue dries, add a few flower pistils folded in half. If you're not using hot glue to make this wreath, wrap the center of the flower around a metal flower stem so you can wrap it around the wreath later.
Apply glue to the base of the petals as you glue them to the center of the flower.
Glue the crepe paper flowers to the boxwood wreath with hot glue. Wrap pieces of boxwood garland around them to hold the flowers in place.
