This headband really is easy to make! Read on, I'll show you how, step-by-step!
| Cut 2 pieces of fabric 2"x 20". You can use just about any type of fabric, with the exception of anything really light- weight. Medium-weight fabrics work best; I chose some left-over taffeta I used to make my daughter a skirt out of. |
| Pin WRONG sides together (good side facing out). |
| Stitch about 1/4" from edges. |
| Slip each end of your elastic inside each end of the headband.The elastic should be between and long. |
| Pin elastic in place. |
| Cut corners off diagonally. |
| Sew along diagonal edges. This is what your headband should look like. |
| Now, on to the flower. Take a remaining piece of scrap fabric... |
| Twist. Nothing technical, just twist it up. |
| Glue edge down on a piece of felt. |
| Glue in a spiral while continuing to twist. |
| We're almost done! As you get close to the end, start gluing the rosette to itself rather than the felt. |
| Trim felt around edges a little smaller than the rosette so the felt won't be visible from the front. |
| Glue on to the headband slightly to one side. |
| Here's the side view. FINISHED. |
| Here's my lil' girl modeling her cute new headband! Cute, huh? I even borrow it from her sometimes! Warning: Once you've made this, you'll want to make one for every outfit! |
