Design Your Own Flower Crown: Hands-On Workshop In-Studio or at Your Location

About this Experience

What you'll do:

Gather your group for a relaxed, hands-on flower crown–making workshop where everyone gets to tap into their creative side. You’ll build your own custom crown using tons of beautiful faux flowers plus fun add-ons like shells, feathers, butterflies, and more. The workshop feels part art class, part party—with music, good vibes, and plenty of moments you’ll want to capture on camera.

You can join us at the whimsical Mannequin Madness showroom in Oakland or we can bring the full flower crown experience right to you with our mobile crown bar.

Why we love it for your party:

  • It’s an easy, joyful way to bond—great for friends, family, coworkers, and mixed groups

  • Flower crowns are for everyone—no matter gender, age, hair type, or style

  • We use eco-friendly faux and repurposed materials, so your crown stays gorgeous for years

  • Each person gets to create something that truly fits their vibe—boho, glam, fantasy, or totally unique

  • Perfect for celebrations of all kinds: birthdays, showers, team events, or “just because” get-togethers

Airbnb was delighted that The Headdress Workshop brought their talents to the Bayview LIVE festival. They hosted an engaging arts and craft experience, encouraging guests to unleash their creative spirits and make fabulous floral headdresses at the Airbnb booth. Our staff and guests had such a great time crafting beautiful artwork that could be worn in many occasions.We look forward to working with them again in the future.

We unfortunately showed up late but both Kyana and Judi were very gracious with us. (But I’d definitely recommend getting there on time because we weren’t able to completely finish our pieces, though we were able to take home our finishing touches to add later). It was a really wonderful and fun experience and I have something beautiful to wear to an upcoming event as well as a lot of inspiration for future crafting. Very high recommendation!

The Headdress Workshop was a unique and fun experience! After attending a workshop and having a blast, a few months later, I arranged with the owner Judi two private workshops for a group of young ladies to create their lovely headdresses. Since it was a mid size group of varying ages, Judi suggested splitting them into two so each session could be tailored appropriately. The kids and adults had fun crafting their headdresses and enjoyed the photo session at the end. If you are looking for something out of the box and safe during these uncertain times, I highly recommend the Headdress Workshop!

I arrived on time to the workshop, and although we were expecting 2 more people in the class, it ended up being just me!! Judi and Kiara were so wonderful throughout the whole class. They even offered me tea!! Mint with lemon and agave......I felt just so at home. There is a workshop table on the side of the shop, and mannequins EVERYWHERE as they resell mannequins too.

I created this beautiful floral crown at Mannequin Madness head dress workshop. It was so much fun and the staff was so helpful. I discovered a crafting side of myself that I did not know I had. A great girlfriend and family outing as well as awesome for team building. I can't wait to do it again.

The Flower Crown Party at Mannequin Madness was such a joyful and creative experience! The workshop was beautifully set up, with plenty of flowers and great guidance to make something truly special. Judi’s hospitality made the day even better—she’s warm, thoughtful, and makes everyone feel welcome. I left feeling inspired, connected, and proud of my creation. Highly recommend for a fun and memorable outing!

Fun, relaxed, creative. Hosts/instructors/guides are so encouraging and welcoming. They have an amazing collection of embellishments that are tidy, clean and well organized, so very easy to sort through for treasures that strike your fancy. I was surprised at how easy it was to build from nothing to a gorgeous headdress. Great class for both the experienced crafter and the newbie. You can have as much or as little support as you need to make your piece.

WOW!!! Mind. Blown. I have done hundreds of Airbnb Experiences and this one is WAY at the TOP! I booked this experience as an activity to do with my family who were visiting from out of town. I kept the experience a surprise, so they didn't know what they were getting into. HOLY SMOKES this experience knocked it out of the park! First, Judi and her team and absolutely INCREDIBLE. They made my family feel so warm and welcome. Second, the materials provided are next level - as an avid crafter let me just tell you, these materials are to die for. Third, we all made head pieces that really expressed our own individuality and personality - many thanks to Judi and her team for helping us make these unbelievable art pieces. But the absolute kicker was how incredibly FUN this experience was - I think we laughed pretty much constantly through the entire experience - we had such an amazing time. I cannot wait to book this experience again for my company (as a corporate event) because I know it will be a smash hit. If you are looking for the absolute time of your life, BOOK THIS EXPERIENCE NOW! DO NOT DELAY! IT IS SO AWESOME! Thank you Judi and team!!!”

Awesome! Absolutely fantastic. The most creative and fun workshop I have attended in a long time. The instructor was patient and a creative genius. She got your creative juices flowing right from the start. The workshop was two hours but the time went by so fast because I was totally involved in creating my masterpiece. I made the most beautiful autumn inspired headdress. I left feeling like the Queen of Autumn! Forgot to mention prior to the workshop I felt that I did not have a creative cell in my body. But this workshop proved me wrong! Loved every second of the workshop!

Sometimes you happen upon something and it's kismet! My mom and I went to this location to pick up a mannequin for an event and the space was electric with energy and activity. Everywhere you look there's something visually stimulating and you can feel your creative juices starting to flow. The owner is so sweet and engaging and she shared about the headdress workshop. How timely - because my wedding was 5 weeks away and I was trying to make a fascinator at home and it wasn't coming together. See Kismet. We signed up for the workshop 1st person full price, second friend half price. They have all the supplies you need and provide tips for staying safe (cutting wires, protecting eyes). The creator leader was so helpful sharing ideas and giving tips on how to incorporate more while hands on assisting as well. It was a fun experience and we will be back.

I had so much fun! The pictures they show of past customers' works really help get the creative juices going and the owners walk around as well to give design ideas if you don't feel the most creatively inclined. I can't wait to wear this out to a tea party or a picnic.
