MATERIALS & TOOLS: Silk greenery garland Wire cutters Green floral tape Small silk flowers 1 Wrap a length of greenery garland around your head (or the head of the person for whom you are making the crown) until the edges touch. Add another 2 inches past the place where the ends overlap, and use the wire cutters to cut the garland. Wrap the overlapped ends of the garland tightly with green floral tape until the crown is secure. 2 Trim the silk flowers so that their stems are about 3 inches long, and cut off any greenery along the stems. Gather small bunches of three or four flowers into little bouquets, and tightly wrap the stems with the floral tape. 3 Tuck these small bouquets into the greenery garland crown, and secure them with more floral tape. Add bouquets all around the crown, or put a big cluster on one side to be worn over the ear. Try to find softer materials for your garland, such as silk. sonsofnorway.com VIKING AUGUST 2017 25http://www.sonsofnorway.com
