Silk Flower Fairy Garlands

November 4th, 2008 · 3 Comments

Fairies need as many crowning glory garlands of flowers– as their human counterparts need –pairs of shoes.  If you are so inclined, you can very easily make a few of these garlands for your  own little winged one.  Assembling the materials will be as much fun as creating each one.

Early Decisions:

1.  How wide will the circlet be to fit on the head of the lucky benefactor? (typical widths are 6″ to 8″)

2.  What color theme will she like?

Materials:

Long stem silk flowers

Silk, small ivy leaves vine

Other decorative embellishments (bridal crafts have lovely, glistening stems of “jewels”)

Ribbon (thin) or thin feather boa

Directions: Inter-twine the silk flower stems with the ivy vine to create the circlet’s diameter to be the size you need.  If you don’t like the spacing or nearness of the blooms and the ivy leaves, add additional stems or another vine of ivy.  Now, add in the other embellishments to enhance the faerie’s garland crown.

Good placements include in the center back; or, to the left (above the ear).  Do not overly dilute with extra’s– you would detract from the floral theme.

Here are a few others–

    This is great! Mystical fun. My step daughter will enjoy creating her own garland crown.
