You don't have to fancy floristry skills to wear flowers in your hair, you can cheat. They won't last as long, but if it is for a night out, or just for wearing whilst you do the laundry, who's to know the difference?
1. You will need a glittery alice band, a bit of ribbon, a piece of thin wire or sellotape, and some small flower heads, in this case i have gone for white delphinium flowers.
2. Group together a few heads and twist the wire, or thin sellotape them together.
3. Wire this cluster onto the alice band, and cut the stems short.
4. Tie on a piece of ribbon to hide the workings, and tie a little bow.
5. Wear with panache.
6. Make an appointment to get your roots done and clean soil from underneath your fingernails(this step applies to me, and me alone)

How did you know I always wear flowers in my hair when I am doing the laundry!!!!
Can I skip the flowers in the hair and just pose for the dirty nail day?
Not a chance.
What a lovely idea!
PS - what car boot sale do you go for your plants, please? x
I want to join 'flowers in your hair' day but can we make it a Saturday as I'm not sure (a) my employer or (b) the judge if applicable will understand my need for creative expression.
Headbands give me a headache (I have an abnormally large head circumfrance) so will try attaching to hair slide clip thing.
Is part 2, how to make them last longer? (answer buy it from a florist??)
this is adorable ! i love it.
ohhhhhhhh this is a luffly idea --- thank you
Kelly - i think it should be the last friday in june?
Jane - Everyday is a soil underneath the nails day.
Becca - There aren't enough flowers in legal circles, i have this on very good authority.
Julienne - Bravo!
Devon dumpling - There are a few round here, Stamford, Melton, Bottesford. You need to search the old men with allotments, they bear great treasure and advice.
Simon - Spoilsport
Bramblenotebook and sooz - Thank you, the season of flower wearing is upon us. x
Brilliant!
I'm going to a wedding soon where I'll need to sport something yellow. As yellow is my least favourite colour (makes my skin look olive green) I'm thinking accessories.
Today I finished sewing a striped yellow & white clutch. Now I want a yellow flowery band to match!
Ah fabulous... will so be trying to steal flowers from the local park for this! (Is that wrong??)
