Craft a unique flower ring easily yourself. When choosing flowers, you should be careful that the flowers do not wilt in the middle of the party.
A flower ring is easy to make yourself, for example for weddings or summer parties. A small festive accessory is unique and guaranteed to stand out from the crowd.
Flower jewelry has become trendy accessories in recent years. Flowers are used to make pantos, wreaths, hair ornaments and bracelets, among other things. They are even glued on skin tapes as flower tattoos.
Jewelry made from flowers can also be ordered from professional florists, saving you from fiddling with it yourself.

The flower ring should be glued from long-lasting images
You need durable flowers to craft a flower ring. For example, carnations, chrysanthemums, orchids, marigolds, and everlasting fans remain beautiful for a long time. Eucalyptus leaves can be used on the base of the arrangement, for example.
You can also make a flower ring out of wild flowers, but they may smell faster when glued to the ring.
The flowers are glued to the ring with flower glue, which is sold in florist supply stores and flower shops. Flower glue is intended for gluing flower devices and the glue dries quickly to become transparent.
You can also try regular craft glue. Hot glue should not be used, as it may speed up the wilting of the plants and make them look ugly.

Do like this:
- At least a couple of hours before, put the flowers in the vase in water to liquefy.
- Make a ring base. Bend the aluminum wire into a small spiral using the round pliers. Then wrap the aluminum wire around your finger so that you get the shape of a wire ring. Take the aluminum wire off your finger and shape it so that the spiral sits above the ring hole. Then, using the circular pliers, bend the second spiral below the ring hole. Try the ring base on your finger and make sure that the spirals are placed symmetrically.
- Cut the parts of the flowers ready on the work surface and plan how you are going to place them on the base of the ring. Squeeze some flower glue onto the paper.
- First glue the basic green leaves. Dip a eucalyptus leaf into the glue and press it onto the spiral of the ring base. Press for about ten seconds so that the leaf adheres well. Attach another eucalyptus leaf in the same way on top of the second spiral of the ring base. Attach a few more different eucalyptus leaves if you like.
- Next, attach the cloves. Dip the flower in the glue and press it for ten seconds in the center of the ring. Then glue the second clove to the very side of the first one.
- Finish by gluing small flowers of bridal gauze in between.
- Let the flower ring dry for a few minutes on the work surface before use. If you are not going to use the flower ring right away, store it in the refrigerator and spray it with water once a day. The flower ring stays beautiful in the fridge for up to a week and on the finger for a day or two.
