This paper flower crown features a beautiful peony with some smaller rose bud accents and delicate leaves. My previous crepe flower head wreath design included gorgeous, bold flowers adorned around the entire wreath. For this flower crown, I wanted to go with a simple but elegant design that would be lovely for someone looking for something more understated. Only about a quarter of this crown is covered in flowers, and you have the creative freedom to place the flowers in any way that you would like. To make this paper flower crown you will need paper covered floral wire for the base of the wreath, various colors of crepe paper, and 20 gauge floral wire. I am using the extra fine crepe paper from my line in Blush, Coral, Chiffon, Green Tea, Cypress, and bits of Gold. The extra fine crepe creates the delicate look of this flower crown that I love. 

Begin by downloading the PDF template above as a guide for cutting your crepe. Measure the paper covered floral wire and cut a piece about 2 inches larger than the size of your head. You can either glue the paper covered floral wire to attach the ends, or simply wrap the wire together to form a circle. The wire is textured, so it will stay in place without gluing. You can follow my full video tutorial for this project below! The video tutorial will be available for all to watch this month, but then it will become available for members only. The basic idea is to craft the flowers, then glue them to the 20 gauge floral wire. You can then wrap this floral wire around the paper covered floral wire base of the flower crown. To finish off the paper flower crown, glue leaves to the floral wire and around the flowers to cover the wire. The three pronged leaves are specifically for the peony, so we only have two of those on our crown. We also added a couple of gold leaves to our crown for a cute metallic accent, but you can really use any colors that appeal to you!
