DIY Bridal Hair Accessory ③ Flower Parts

Flower parts are small bunches of flowers combined into a singular piece. They can be arranged in various styles, either gathered on the side or placed atop a bun. They are a classic hair accessory♡

Using artificial flowers or dried flower parts can help you save money compared to using fresh flowers◎

Similar to flower crowns, the materials are wire and floral tape. It is recommended to use dark brown floral tape that matches hair rather than green＊

Just like making a flower crown, insert wire into the part where the artificial flower had its stem, then wrap the entire wire with floral tape to complete.

If you are using dried or preserved flowers, bundle a few together and wrap them with floral tape along with the wire＊
