Every year during Fiesta in San Antonio, locals go all out with colorful outfits and accessories — and we have a quick DIY to spruce up your look.
Why it matters: It's nice to have something unique when you're in a sea of flower crowns.
The vibe: Inspired by traditional flower crowns, this DIY comb hairpiece is designed to work with buns or ponytails for those hot Fiesta days.
What to get:
- Hair combs ($8.99)
- A bushel of terecita flowers ($6.75 at Amols')
- Curling ribbon (optional)
- A hot glue gun
What to do: Snip off four to five flowers so you're left with just the buds. They're easier to glue that way.
- Add a little hot glue to the comb and the flower, then attach them together.
- Tie in some curling ribbon between the flowers for extra razzle dazzle.
