Flower Crowns

[aelfie.livejournal.com]

I made my nearly 5 year old twin daughters a pair of flower crowns using fabric covered floral wire and white floral tape to attach smallish bunches of artificial flowers and leaves.

They came out completely adorable (too bad I didn't get pictures!), but (here's the problem) after just a couple of hours, the flower bunches began to fall off the crown. I had a least 2 inches of the flower stem bunch taped to the wire and individually taped each bunch. Anybody have a better recommendation for attaching the flower bunches to a wire crown? It was some work and we are all disappointed they didn't last longer. And of course they want new ones. =) If I'm going to make them new ones I want them to take a beating and keep on ticking!

Thanks!
