Start With the Wire
When it comes to making this beaut of a headband you are going to want to start by cutting your wire. Depending on what size you bought the wire you can just cut it in the circle given (as shown) or if you have a bigger or smaller wire bundle you may need to shape it yourself.
The Shape of the Ears
Make sure that when you shape it looks like a circle and the two ends are close enough together it will be easy to glue.
Gluing
Take the hot glue gun and gently apply the glue to the metal causing them to bond together, connecting the two ends. Proceed to do it to both
Applying the Ears
Glue the base of the circles and apply it the headband, do it to both.
Flower Cutting
Cut the flowers at the base of the stem leaving just the flower bud itself.
Flowers
Continue to do to all until you have a collection of flower buds that are ready to glue on to your headband.
Applying
Apply the glue to the bottom of the flower and cover the bottom with the hot glue.
The Beginning of the Headband
Attach the flower to the headband right at the base of where the metal rings meet the headband.
Small Flowers
Once you have your big flowers on, attach your smaller flowers in interesting patterns and designs.
Completing Your Ears
In the end, you should have a balanced combination of small and big flowers all attached to the headband thus using glue.
Covering the Back
The back of your headband may or may not be covered in glue. You probably going to want to cover it up. So continue the steps of the gluing process on the back of the headband to cover you glue mistakes.
