Can you believe that some stores are trying to sell these headbands for 10 bucks! I cant! So.. I made my own haha. So simple! Here's the steps on how I made mine...
What you need:One fakie flower (i chose a pink gerber daisy, it was cute and a buck)
One sheet of felt (it's like 50 cents at a craft store)
12.5 inches of elastic lace (for the headband, i got 5 yards for $1.74)
12.5 inches of elastic lace (for the headband, i got 5 yards for $1.74)
glue gun, scissors, needle and thread
Step 1: Get all your supplies ready! Cut out 12.5 inches (for newborn) of your elastic lace. Pull off the flower from the stem (and trim the extra plastic) cut out 2 circles of felt to cover the back of the flower.
Step 2: Fold your elastic in half with pretty side on the inside and sew the two ends together. When your done flip it out so it's a head band and you can check out your stitch. Should look like this. ..
Step 3: Hot glue gun time! Glue on one felt circle to your flower to cover the plastic. Place head band (this is where i hide my stitching) on the felt circle.
Step 4: Now you're going to glue the 2nd circle on to cover the headband stiching. BONUS! this will give the flower a nice soft end that touches babys' head. No one wants there baby to be uncomfortable.
Hope it kinda makes sense and if it doesn't i hope the pictures help! Haha.. hey give me a break! I'm preggers and I work full time and I make time for my crafts... Mike time is in there somewhere haha.. so i guess i should log off and go spend time with him :)
