The beauty of this instructable is it is totally free, you don't need any other supplies but flowers, and it's just tricky and unique enough that you will stand out as amazing.  Little girls just freak out when you make these, just be prepared that if you make one in a crowd, you will have tons of puppy dog eyes begging you to make more.

Step 1What do I need?

What do I need?
As I said in the intro, all you need are flowers.  Most of the time I just pick clover from a park or soccer field.  (its everywhere where I live).  This is the first time I have incorporated flowers that were not weeds as well.  I have made them from dandelions (because little girls don't care) but I sneeze a lot after so I avoid them now.  They need to have stems at least about 3 inches long.  The amount required varies with how big a head it is being made for and how dense you want the flowers to be. You can also get the receiver of the crown to help pick them. I only ended up using about half the clover in this picture.

Very excellent Instructable! Just FYI, in certain environments, these can make you popular with more than just the preteen girl set. For example, at a Summer Solstice festival, the teen and post-teen women tend to like wearing them very much too. And quite a few of the guys as well. Just saying....

We did these with clover that grew on the playground at school when I was in second grade in 1954. Thanks for the memory.
