I need to make a Moana Headdress - what sort of flowers are they?

37 replies

katymac · 04/10/2017 20:03

It's for adult DD so I am guess they need to be 5/6 cms big?

They aren't Roses or Lilys - any ideas what would look good (Gerbera have been veto'ed) I have a bit of a block with gardening!

Frangipani maybe?

Perhaps hibiscus flowers with spiky leaves behind.

Fragipani look great - I'll look up hibiscus now

I think fragipani is the one to go with - just looking for colours now

How about bamboo for leaves?

Hmm leaves I am a bit stuck on but I think bamboo is too thin.

ANd the frangipani is too pale I think

Do I need more of a magnolia leaf?

I think it might be ti leaf.

No definitely not magnolia leaf. There are different shades of frangipani though.

I think I am unlikely to get a Ti leaf on Amazon tho'

The ones I have seen aren't as deep a pink as the picture

Magnolia are shinyier (sp?) & stiffer aren't they but a bit to round

True might be tricky to get . You are right about the magnolia leaves. It would still look good if you used those.

I hate google now pinterest is so big - you can never find out where the picture is from or how much the things are

That looks pretty good I reckon.

Thanks Venys i i think the leaves are reasonably spikey and i guess i can stiffen then with hairspray or varnish

thanks Peppapig but she probably needs something a bit more substantial i she is hoping to do princess parties

the necklace is made out of paua (abelone) shell.
