I needed some party hats for my birthday party last month and I remembered these pretty Roman crowns from a wedding I had seen a few years ago. I decided to make them a few hours before the party (I’m an optimist!) my team had to help to get them finished in time but they were very simple to make. You just need fake leaves, gold spraypaint, and wire. At my party (where I was still high on gold spray paint fumes) I placed one at each seat.

I love a good party hat and this is one is so chic. They of course would be perfect for a wedding or shower as well. Happy spray painting!

Materials Needed: Faux leaf bunches, wire cutters, floral paddle wire, gold spray paint

Step 1: Use wire cutters to separate the branches from the bunch.

Step 2: Wrap floral wire around the beginning and end of two branches to connect them. Connect as many as you need to fit around the wearer’s head.

Step 3: Spray paint the wreath gold and let dry completely. Then, spray paint the other side. Let dry for at least 12 hours — you’re ready to party!
