Make the belt

Cut a 2-yard piece of ribbon. Cut out 5-8 different-sized flowers from a floral garland. Use a hot glue gun to attach the flowers to the center of the ribbon, covering about 10 inches. Let the glue dry completely.

Make the headband

To craft a floral wreath headband, gather a floral garland, wire, and sturdy scissors. Cut a 2-foot piece from the garland. Form a circle by slightly overlapping the ends and secure with a 5-inch piece of wire. Wrap securely and tuck wire ends into the garland to avoid pokes. Optionally, cover with green floral tape.
