For my flowers, I used ORGANZA & burned the edges, regular COTTON for the rolled flowers, and KNIT for the folded flowers.
To make the lace headbands, I simply sewed a little section of the elastic to the ends. This adds just enough stretch to put the headband on, and it goes in the back so it can't really be seen.
I decided though that I wanted the headbands to be interchangeable, so I could use different flowers with the same headband. In order to do this, I took a small strip of the lace, hot-glued it to the backside of the headband, wrapped it around once, then glued again to the back. This left a little loop on the top to clip the bows or flowers to.Like this:
Now, with all the of the bow and flower tutorials out there, the headband possibilities are ENDLESS!
So sweet. Thanks for linking up with Lemon Tree Creations today!
ReplyDeleteI am on such a flower headband kick lately. I will need to try these to add to mine and my girls' collection.
ReplyDeleteI had the exact same problem! I finally found the elastic at Joann's, just hanging out in the trim section. Duh! I love the folded flowers, I just tried out the fabric rosette and am ready to move on to bigger better things. Aren't girls fun?
ReplyDeleteLove the name of your blog. And I love headbands so much I want to make them fashionable for boys. Or I just need to get pregnant again and pray for pink..lol...
ReplyDeleteThe interchangeable headband is a smart move! Pinning you to my "imaginary daughter" file at Pinterest. Can you tell I am a mom of 2 boys???
If you have a moment today, please share this with my readers @Creative Juice Thursday. Hope to see you there!
Very cute, makes me want a girl (I have 2 teenaged boys!).
