flower headband

Little girls in headbands are something that I absolutely love. This tutorial is simple and fun - and in 1 hours time you'll have an adorable headband to give to a friend or to keep for your own little one.

____________________________________

Here is what you'll need:

1. Felt (any color you choose)

2. Elastic ribbon

3. Scissors

4. Pinking sheers

5. Rotary cutter (optional)

6. Hot glue gun

7. Scrap piece of cardboard (a cereal box works great)

[NOTE: I chose to use hot glue because I'm impatient and I don't like to wait for regular glue to dry. Just be warned that you might burn your fingers constructing the flower petals with hot glue... You could always use a regular fabric glue in place of the hot glue].

reversible headband

If you’re anything like me, you can understand the importance of a good headband. My hair has a mind of it’s own and it sometimes takes more than just a little (ok…a lot) of hairspray to tame it. After my mom shipped me a whole box of fabric left over from her quilting projects, I couldn’t wait to make something I could use right away. I had seen some of these fabric headbands on Etsy but couldn’t bring myself to buy something I knew I could make…this little headband is what came from my fabric excitement.

What you’ll need:

1.     Two different pieces of fabric

2.     Headband template - or make your
own with an existing headband

3.     Small piece of elastic (I used elastic ribbon)

4.     Iron/ironing board
