I am loving this kid-friendly tutorial for making a floral halo by the house that lars built for hello bee! Grab your flower girl(s) and get busy!
Materials: flowers, clippers.
tep 1: Cut down the flowers to 5-7 inches long. Take off extra greenery.
Step 2: Cross one flower over the other.
Step 3: Take the top flower and wrap it under the bottom and then up to the top again. Bring it down to lay with the first stem. The tighter you do this, the more secure the crown.
Step 4: Lay the next flower down close to the second and repeat the process.
Step 5: When you reach the right length for the shape of the head, weave in the ends of the stems into the first flowers.
DONE!
That’s it! To create a fuller crown, weave in more flowers. For variation, try varying the flowers for different patterns.

Until next week, LOVE,
Unlike some style elements I think fringe can only go right. DIY or couture the texture it brings is gorgeous and festive. Elegant and lovely before the jump and crafty, sweet after… Enjoy and happy holiday!
DIY PERFECT SUMMER POPS…presented by Cake Walk Bake Shop and photographed by Apryl Ann Photography.
Ingredients:
- lemonade (2-3cups)
- green tea, room temperature (2-3cups)
- simple syrup (1 cup)
- fresh mint (handful)
- fresh edible flowers (as many as you like)
Equipment:
- Pop Molds (I purchased this mold on Amazon for under $20)
- Popsicle Sticks
- it’s that easy!
1. Mix equal amounts Green Tea + Lemonade into a spouted vessel (for easy pouring). Add a splash (to taste) of simple syrup to cut the tartness of the lemonade.
2. Mix it up.
3. Pour the tea-lemonade mix into the pop molds, only filling to about 1/3. You must freeze the pops in phases, otherwise the fun stuff (flowers + mint) would all float to the top of the mold, leaving you with a mostly solid-looking pop.
4. Carefully place a few flowers and mint leaves into the pop mold, dunking them into the tea-lemonade liquid. You may choose to use a fork or butter knife for this, but I just went all in with my fingers.
5. Freeze each layer for at least 2 hours so that the layer is completely set before you add the next, otherwise meltage will occur and your carefully preserved flowers will float on up to join their friends in the next layer. Only partially freeze the second (middle) layer for 30 minutes to 1 hour so that you can place the popsicle stick. You are looking for an almost slushy like texture with enough thickness to hold the stick in place. Insert the stick and pop it back into the freezer to continue to freeze solid before adding the final layer. If adding a sliced lime, this would be the layer to do so. For each layer, repeat steps 3 and 4. Let the entire pop freeze for at least 6 hours before sharing with friends.
Enjoy!
Note: To make simple sugar, mix one part sugar with one part water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil and let cool.
Fun Ideas: Make adult-only pops by adding sweet tea vodka! Add almonds for crunch! Use pink lemonade to add some extra color!
