tutorials on how to make garlands?

[kala83]

I have been looking for some tutorials or just plain advise on how to make either flowery/leafy, or feathered garlands.
if you all have any tips or links  you could share that would be awesome.
I'm not sure if this is the right place for this thread if its not please feel free to move it.

Do you mean hair wreath or a boa?  A garland is a long strand of something (Feathers, Flowers, ect).   I'm going to guess this is for a fantasy outfit and not historical?

yes it would be for a fairy outfit terribly sorry for the mis use of the word, I asked the advice of my mother as to what it was and she said it was a garland obviously this is not a good term for the item

Try Googling "head wreath"
