A method to enable formation of ornamental circlets, comprising: forming a band that comprises a first end, a second end, a first ornamental motif positioned adjacent to the first end, and a second ornamental motif positioned adjacent to the second end; forming a tab in the first end adjacent to the first ornamental motif; forming a notch in the first end adjacent to the tab; forming slits in the second end adjacent to the second ornamental motif, twisting the band longitudinally 360 degrees; passing the slits through the notch to position the first ornamental motif under the second ornamental motif; and positioning the second ornamental motif under the tab. Forming the tab comprises forming the tab to have longitudinal symmetrically along the band. Forming the notch comprises forming the notch to angularly extend from a periphery of the band to the tab.

Systems and methods for forming a garland from garland components such as flowers and greenery, where a core rope is retained against a drive roller at a first position, and a rotating cross member supports a spool of binding thread. The rotating cross member rotates the spool around the core rope to wind the binding thread around the core rope to secure one of the garland components against the core rope, and the drive roller then displaces the core rope to a second position to enable the binding thread to secure another of the garland components against the core rope adjacent the first garland component, forming the garland.
