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

[katymac]

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?

Like this

Perhaps hibiscus flowers with spiky leaves behind.

Like this

I would say pink frangipani too.

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?

Thanks ladies you have really really helped

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

how about these?

& these?

She likes them - now I need to source a necklace - I can't make that!!

There is a moana magazine out with a free necklace!!

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

What about this plus macrame and beads?

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

Looks like half paua shell half mother of pearl with pears along the string

Pearls even
