MIDSUMMER series (2)- The Making of a Floral Crown
On a recent visit to my hometown of Cebu, I was introduced to my family’s new found Swedish friend- Anna Hellsvik. She had been in Cebu for over two months on an internship with a local NGO. Before she returned to Sweden, we helped arrange for her to do a lecture/workshop about her home country at a social service facility. Anna did a powerpoint presentation about Sweden. Afterwhich, she talked about Midsommar and demonstrated how to make a floral crown. Below are photos from the workshop.

| Make the crown base, some people use thin branches. For the demo, we used some recycled wire. Size it to fit your head. Tape up the end. Tie a thread about a meter long to the ring. |

Participants start making their crowns- using the thread to slowly wrap the greens and flowers around the ring. Creativity in action! |

| When you feel that your crown looks finished, secure tightly and knot thread. Cut off any excess material.  I just love the look –  Pretty proud to wear her creation.  The group proudly wearing their completed crowns with their new Swedish friend Anna  Thank you, Anna! |
