Allow your glue gun to heat up and put a hefty drop of glue on your barrette blank. Immediately apply the flower. Hot glue dries really quickly so be sure to add plenty of glue and place the flower quickly. Then hold the flower in place for just a few seconds until the glue begins to set.

Some of your flowers may still have a large stem and that’s okay. It’s actually helping hold the interior of the silk flower in place. Just use the edge of it to glue to the barrette blank like in the image above.

Now it’s time to wear them! And that’s the fun part. This type of Flower Crown is best when the hair is pulled up. Otherwise you could wear one or two to the side for a more tropical Hawaiian style look. But if you are going full Frida, try wearing a high bun, messy or clean and circle the flowers around the bun in the front.
