1) Materials: A strong but flexable metal whire, pliers and fabric scraps
2) first of all i started making the flowers. I decided to make some scrapy roses, but you can do what ever flower you most desire for. This is how i made mine: I took white fabric, i cut it in to rectangles and then took diffarnt patternd pink fabric and sewd two pices of each, together.
And here you can see them all lined up:
3)Then i zigzag cut one side of rectangles, with regular scissers. Then i rolld them up like this:
All rolld up:
4) Then i made the leafs from small green triangles:
5) And now for the "crown" it self: I took white flannel fabric and wrapt tightly around the metal whire. Then i sewd through in different directins:
6) And now for the fun part: Decorating!
I made white straps like these:
And tied them all around
7) I took black thread to connect the roses by sewing threw them and tieing them up to the decorated whire
All most done!
Just missing a pink satin ribbon:
8) And all you need is a cute head to put it on like this one:

This is so cute and very creative.
I just read the comment you left on my blog on my Kreative Blog Award post. Thanks so much for all of the nice things you said.
By the way, your children are so adorable.
I love this crown. I will be making it ... very very soon.
This is adorable--I wish I had a little girl to make one for. I may just make one for myself instead!
Thanks for sharing this idea. It is very creative and so sweet!
