Materials needed:
1. Tulle or net fabric
2. Scissors
3. Glue gun
4. Floral wire or green pipe cleaners
5. Fake flowers or flower petals
Step 1: Choose your flower
The first step in making a flower costume is to decide which flower you want to depict. Choose between roses, daisies, poppies, or any other favorite flower. You can also mix and match different flowers to create a unique look.
Step 2: Cut out the petals
Once you have chosen your flower, it’s time to cut out the petals. Take the tulle or net fabric, fold it in half, and cut out the shape of your petals. You can change the sizes of the petals to create a more natural-looking flower.
Step 3: Add a center
To make your flower costume look more realistic, add a center to your flower. Cut out a small circle from the same fabric you used for the petals. Glue it in the center of the petals using a hot glue gun.
Step 4: Make the stems
To make the stems, take some floral wire or green pipe cleaners and bend them into the shape of the stem. You can loop them around each other to create a thicker stem or wrap them around a pencil to give them a curl. You can also use a green tulle or ribbon to create the stem if you prefer.
Step 5: Combine the petals and stems
Using a hot glue gun, attach the petals to the stem. You can make the petals overlap slightly to create a layered look. Continue attaching the petals until you have completed the flower head.
Step 6: Make the headband
To complete the flower costume, you need to create a headband to put the flower on. Take a plastic headband and wrap it with a green ribbon. Use the hot glue gun to secure it in place. You can also decorate the headband with extra flower petals or leaves.
Step 7: Attach the flower to the headband
Using a hot glue gun, attach the flower head to the headband. Place the flower on top of the headband and secure it with glue. You can also add some extra leaves or petals to make it look fuller.
Step 8: Wear your flower costume
Now that you have completed your flower costume, it’s time to wear it! Put it on and adjust any petals or leaves that need it. Pair it with a cute dress or some green leggings to complete the look.
