Tutorial: Flower Crowns for Silent Night

Even though winter is fast approaching, the Cult of the Silent tend to don muted floral crowns in celebration of Silent Night. We wanted to give you a chance to make your own, so you can join the festivities in style!

1. Assemble materials.

You'll need -

  • Assorted fake flowers of your choice

  • Floral wire (you can use a thinner version or thicker "branch like" wire)

  • Floral tape

  • Hot glue

  • Measuring tape

  • Wire cutting tool

2. Gather flowers in bunches.

Separate individual flower stems from larger stems. Arrange stems into little bunches, making sure to evenly distribute different flower colors/types. Set aside several extra flowers as filler for later.

3. Tape bunches together.

Using floral tape, wrap the stems in each bunch together. Try not to bunch all the flowers perfectly at the top to ensure your end product is nicely spaced.

4. Create base crowns.

Measure the circumference around where you'd like the crown to sit on your head. Cut a piece of floral wire slightly larger that what you measured (the flowers will add bulk). Link each end of the wire to one another by bending the tip of each side inward. You'll be left with a circle.

5. Start spiral taping base.

Beginning with the place your floral wire links together, being spiraling taping around the wire. Smooth the tape with your finger as you go.

6. Tape down bunches as you go.

While spiraling the floral wire with your tape, evenly work in your floral bunches. Use the flowers you set aside earlier to fill any gaps. Hot glue may be used to help secure stubborn floral bunches/stems.

7. Time to party the Silent way: quiet and respectfully.
