How to weave a wreath (hat and skullcap) from fresh flowers on your head
Let's learn how to weave wreaths, skullcaps and hats from natural materials. Let's start with the usual wreath, we will weave it from fresh flowers. How to weave a wreath correctly depends on the flowers from which we weave. From dandelions, clover or chamomile, you can weave a wreath like this:
They take a flower, for example, a chamomile, put the second one crosswise on it, wrap the stalk of the second chamomile around the stalk of the first one and lay it along the first stalk, etc. See how to do this in the figure below. When the wreath is woven to the size of the head, the first and last daisies are tied with a blade of grass - the wreath is ready.
If you want to make a wreath with flowers such as water lilies, whose stems are so thick and fleshy that they are difficult to braid, weave the wreath differently. Take a lily and, together with it, hold a flexible blade of grass or two blades of grass in your hand. Then take the second lily, lay its stem crosswise on the stem of the first and braid the flowers with a blade of grass. Thus, you will weave a wreath of grass, weaving lily flowers into it.
Very beautiful wreaths are obtained from flowers interspersed with leaves. You can weave a wreath from only one leaf.
Interesting wreaths are obtained from leaves with bunches of bright berries woven into them in some places - mountain ash, elderberry and others.
If you want to make yourself a costume of some fabulous figure, for example, a goblin or a merman, for carnival, you can put on your head a wreath woven from horsetail with bunches sticking out in all directions. A wreath of white lilies, yellow water lilies or a wreath woven from long branches of white or pale pink bindweed will go with the mermaid costume.
DIY crafts from natural material from leaves:
Pick leaves from some tree that does not fade very quickly, such as birch, and braid them with blades of grass into a long garland. Having rolled the garland into a ring according to the size of the head, fasten the ring with a blade of grass and gradually lay out the garland in a spiral, fastening the blades of grass with each other and gradually narrowing them upwards. You will get an interesting hat made of green leaves. It will be a reliable protection from the scorching sun on a hot summer day, a good headdress at the carnival. How to do it - see the picture.
Burdock hat
A large-brimmed hat that protects well from the sun can also be made from burdock. Pick a few large burdocks, almost to the base of the stem, put the burdocks together and tie them together with ribbon or blades of grass over the remaining pieces of stems. From the blades of grass weave a wreath according to the size of the head. Pierce each burdock with a sprig in two places near its main vein and attach the burdocks to the grass wreath with blades of grass. You'll end up with a cool, wide-brimmed hat that fits very well on your head. To prevent such a headgear from wilting soon, spray it with water from time to time.
Burdock skullcap
And one more interesting example. From scraps of some fabric, cut four strips one centimeter wide, each according to the size of the head. Cut one strip three centimeters wide - for the rim. First sew the rim, and then sew all four strips crosswise to it. At the top, in the place where the strips intersect, fasten them with threads.
Then pick up the flowers of the burdock of different colors and put the burdock one next to the other on the frame made. Make sure that there are no gaps between the burdock balls so that the fabric is not visible. Cover the band with burdock in two or three rows.

One of the most famous crafts is a wreath. It can be worn as a decoration on the head, and a small wreath serves as a wonderful bracelet. In addition, they can decorate the doors and walls of the house. For a wreath, flowers with long, strong, but flexible stems are suitable. The most popular for weaving are daisies, clover, dandelions and other wildflowers. It is better not to cut off the leaves - with them the wreath will turn out more beautiful and richer. Starting to weave a wreath, it is better to determine which flower will be the main one.
It is necessary to put together two stems, attach a third to them and wrap it around the first two. It is better to tighten the ends of the stems as tight as the flower allows. The length of the wreath is determined by the girth of the head. As you weave, other flowers can be added to the wreath. The decoration will look great if you can play on the contrast of colors. Berries and small sunflower flowers woven in as a decoration look great. The ends of the wreath must be connected by twisting them together. For reliability, you can fasten them with grass.
