I love doing crafty things but don't do it very often and I am not very good at coming up with my own ideas but I am able to copy other peoples ideas. I bought a cute headband for the girls and decided to attempt to copy it and make other colors. I wasn't sure how to do it but with some instruction from a friend I figured it out!
Here are the instructions on how to make this cute headband!
What you need: plain headband, 1" wide ribbon, needle, thread, scissors, felt, hot glue gun.
Cover the headband with the ribbon. Start with gluing one end of ribbon to one end of the headband.
Wrap it all the way around completely covering the headband. Securely glue the ribbon to the other end of headband.
Cut two small circles from the felt.
Glue the circles together with the headband in between them.
Stitch the ribbon loosely along one edge and pull the thread to gather the ribbon.
Stitch until you have a 6-8 inch gathered section of ribbon. Knot the thread and trim the ribbon.
Take one end of ribbon and apply glue to stitched edge.
Circle the ribbon around itself applying more glue as necessary.
Top side of glued flower.
Underneath side.
Glue the flower to the felt on headband.
Sit back and enjoy your handiwork!
