DIY Floral Belt

Sometimes I get “in the zone” and go overboard while creating.

I admit that when I made this DIY floral belt things got out of hand. It was supposed to be just a floral decorated hat band, or head band or even a floral choker. In the end I got carried away and added too many flowers.

It still looks fine as a hat band, or a head band/floral crown, but the whole idea of a floral choker is a bit much now.

 

It was very easy to make. The instructions are the same as what I used on this DIY floral hat band, only difference was rather than a closed band I attached it to an open fabric ribbon which makes the piece multifunctional.

 

I’ve worn this with colour but initially I had planned on wearing it with this dress…

I like to challenge myself though and black is just too easy. Pairing it with clashing colour and two patterns took it from beginner to advanced level and reminded me a bit of the Gucci campaign.

It feels a bit like wearing one of those fanny packs from the 80’s only it is made of flowers and doesn’t hold anything. #totallyimpracticalaccessories

I had made this as a gift but when I went so overboard I decided I needed to keep the piece as I was worried it was overwhelming. I need to take photos of this in my hair when it is curled. I think it will be lovely.

I may have a slight massive addiction to creating and decorating with flowers.

Case in point, my office…

I love the fact that no matter the time of year it is always spring in my office.

How do you feel about a floral belt? Too feminine, too much, or just right?
