Steps to make a flamingo-themed wall crown

Prepare the base of the crown

Choosing the crown size : Determine the desired size based on where you are going to hang it. For a discreet decoration, opt for a diameter of 30 cm. If you want an imposing piece, choose a diameter of 50 cm or more.
Assemble the structure :
- If using willow or vine branches, intertwine them to form a circle. Make sure the base is strong enough.
- For metal bases, wrap a few thin branches around the circle to dress it up.

Add foliage and plants

Select the foliage : Prepare the eucalyptus, laurel or fir branches by cutting them to lengths of 15 to 20 cm.
Fix the first branches :
- Start by securing the larger foliage by tying it with floral wire. Arrange it in the same direction around the crown.
- Alternate different types of foliage to create volume and a harmonious effect.
Add dried flowers and decorations :
- Add touches of dried flowers (baby's breath, hydrangeas) to add lightness.
- Place some pine cones or cinnamon sticks with hot glue to accentuate the winter atmosphere.

Refine details and add finishing touches

Bring contrast : Add some darker elements (pine or boxwood branches) to create subtle contrasts.
Fix the ribbons : Tie a linen or burlap ribbon to the bottom of the wreath for an elegant look. You can also tie a large bow at the top to hang the wreath.
Check visual balance : Place the crown against a wall and adjust the plants to balance the volumes.
