In anticipation of the spring, a season full of events such as weddings, communions And confirmations, I thought I'd make a hair accessory for you: a floral comb!
With this technique you can create a thousand different ones and wear them for an important occasion, in your free time, or even anytime if you don't have any ideas in mind!
What you need: two ivy sprigs; some small ones berry; a carnation; holy cards or any flower not too heavy; satin ribbon; shears; ribbon scissors; hot glue; thin aluminum wire; a neutral-colored comb, in this case I had a transparent one available.
I start by cutting a piece of aluminum wire (I made sure to use the decorative one which is perfect for this type of creation) and I support a sprig of ivy in the upper part of the comb.
I'll lend itivy with the aluminum wire, passing it between the teeth of the comb so that it is well secured and I close it with a little knot.
Now that I have the foundation for my beautiful comb, I cut the stem of a carnation right at the end of the receptacle.
I'm going to carnation with the thread of aluminum. In this case I pass it inside, in two different directions, so as to create a cross pattern at the base of the flower.
Here it is ready carnation! I just have to apply it on the comb…I chose very light tones, but obviously you are free to indulge yourself with both colors and materials!
To enrich my hairstyle, I cut the holy cards and the pink berries and I add them to the comb with a pinch of hot glue (cold florist glue would be better, but since flowers resistant and the gun of the hot glue always present in the work bag of lovers of DIY, remains the most practical choice!).
I'm always careful about where to place them, because the final result must be very balanced. So, choose in advance if, when you wear the comb, you will have straight hair – wavy or tied up.
The final touch is a green ribbon! I attach it to the highest part of the comb in order to cover the technical materials of my creation. To fix it I always use the hot glue.
Here, then, is a fantastic ready comb, easy and fast!
Have a fresh flower It always has its charm in hair. Now have fun making lots of them with different materials, suitable for every occasion!
A colorful greeting to you! Silviadeifiori
