DIY Flower Headband

A wreath (Latin: corona), for attire purposes, is a headdress made of leaves, grasses, flowers or branches. It is typically worn in festive occasions and on holy days and has a long history and association with ancient pageants and ceremonies. Outside of occasional use, the wreath can also be used as a crown. The wreath most often has an annular geometric construction.

It is generally agreed that headbands have been popular accessories since the ancient Greeks nearly 2.500 years ago. At that time, headbands, or more appropriately, hair wreaths, were worn to mark special occasions and important events. Most famously the special wreaths were bestowed upon the winning athletes of the ancient Olympics, marking the beginning of not only a tradition that continues today but also the origin of the modern sports headband.
