Here's how to make your own Beltane flower crown:
Materials:

Begin by selecting a sturdy base for your flower crown. You can use floral wire to create a circular base, or use a pre-made vine wreath.
Gather a selection of fresh flowers and greenery that speak to you. Some popular choices for Beltane flower crowns include daisies, roses, lavender, and lilacs.
Use scissors to trim the stems of your flowers and greenery, leaving a few inches of stem on each one.
Start attaching your flowers to the base using floral tape or ribbon. It's best to start at one end of the base and work your way around, layering the flowers and greenery as you go.
