{DIY Flower Headband}

 

So you know those super cute fabric headbands everyone seems to be wearing lately?
I love them! They are my favorite! The ones in the above picture were purchased from a local gal who is AMAZING!

Well today im going to show you how to make your very own :)

Its actually pretty simple & quick! 

You will need:

Fabric

Scissors

a sewing machine

thread

A Hot glue gun 

Scissors or a rotary cutter & board

Cut approx. a 32 in long strip from your first fabric. 

Make the strip skinnier near the ends & a bit thicker in the middle..I didnt really do exact measurements.

Just make it as thick or this as you want!

Turn your fabric strip over & Hem the edges 

Using fabric #2, Cut out 3 leaves

Sew the leaves onto the fabric strip.

{Trace the edges of the leaf and do a stripe down the middle, like a real leaf!}

Now at this point you can top it with a basic rolled flower, or any type of flower you like!

For this band, I made a big ruffly flower.. heres how

 Set your sewing machine on the longest stitch it does

Then make a zig zag pattern on your strip of fabric as shown above

{OR hand sew a long stitch zig zag}

Pull the BOTTOM thread to make a ruffle

Sew {Or glue} one end of your ruffle to a small piece of fabric

Roll to desired shape & Sew/Glue as you go

Sew or glue your flower onto the band!

You can make them in so many different colors, with different flower styles!

You can wear it & so can baby!

That is the nice thing about these wrap headbands, they can be tightened or loosened to any size!

To Wear: simply join & tie the ends of fabric in a knot around your head

They are super cute for family photos or just every day wear

Happy Saturday
