headbands

a while ago, i made a promise to marci that i would do a headband post.  after being properly reprimanded, i am finally doing it!

first of all, a little about the inspiration . . .

i became obsessed with these headbands found here . . .

and here (i want everything in her shop. plus, she's from rexburg. . . bonus.)

and here . . . (aren't those adorable? i could die . . .)

so, with the fire burning in me to make me some headbands, some of us girls got together and had a craft night and i made like a dozen headbands.  it was crazy.  it really is easy though, i promise. . . 

here is my awesome tutorial. . .

a.) sorry about the astroturf look of it all, it just wasn't showing up enough on the cute tablecloth i was using . . . 2.) my glue gun doesn't actually have any glue in it, so you have to imagine that i am gluing that felt circle . . . with a lot of glue . . . d.) that's all.  i just wanted to finish out my "wayne's world" reference of a.) 2.) d.)

find a good flower and cut the stem off as much as possible . . .

cut out a felt circle and hot glue it to the back of the flower with the headband between . . .

voila!

also, if you want to do more than one flower, i suggest doing it like so, with one piece of felt . . .

to make the felt headbands, i just cut out the flowers and leaves, hot glued them together, and sewed it onto a headband along with the button.

i also made a bunch for me as well, but those pictures didn't turn out so well . . .

and then, after i made all those headbands, i ordered my own motley headband (they were my inspiration after all!) and i love it . . .

oh, and i got the hair elastics and headbands at target (they come in bunches).
