because we’re gonna get crafty!
A while back I bought this pale pink headband (the middle one) at an H&M and I thought it was so darling. I studied it for a bit, and thought…”hey, I can make that”. But what I should have thought was, “Hey, I can make something similar to that on my second try”. So that is what I attempted to do, blogging along the way, in the middle of the night, with bad lighting. you betcha.
Step 1. Buy small pieces of silky solids (like 1/4th of a yard) and ribbon to match.
Step 2. Cut fabric into small squares.
Step 3. Fold square into fourths.
Step 4. Cut a scalloped flowery edge.
not Step 5. Designate one pair of scissors for fabric only…I love having one pair that is always sharp.
1. Fray check the edges…I did not do this step on the white headband. This step is optional.
2. Wrap thin metal headband with the coordinating ribbon. This is where the hot glue gun comes in. Use it to secure down the ends.
3. Hot glue a felt circle to adhere all the “flower pedals”.
4. Hot glue all the scalloped fabric pieced at the folds to make them pedal like and then hot glue them to the headband…that is a lot of hot glue.
This is the headband that I purchased from H & M.
Here is the second one that I made. I like how this one turned out.
and finally, I give you (drum roll please)… Ginormica!
Big is in, trust me.

I just wish I was crafty…

Funny!
Cute! I like how they turned out! She could wear that big one to the horse races down south!
Inspirational! Indeed!! Can't wait to get out my headbands and get to work!!
I also loved the craft center…oh my! Such big ideas. My husband may hate that one b/c he'll be making it for me but what a slam dunk for organization!
Thanks {as always} for sharing.
I love that GinOrMicA flower….very cute. I may have to attempt to make one for my little girl.
Thanks for sharing:)
Soo cute! Do you think my boys would wear them?
I personally think if you are going to wear fabric flowers in your hair then Ginormica is the only way to go. Too cute!
Thank you SO much for sharing, these are too cute. We will be making these at our house soon.
Those are adorable. My girls will be in heaven. Thank Kami!

Love it! Even the super big one. Of course it helps when you have a daughter as pretty as Avery to display them on.
"Big is in, trust me."

it's very cute.
This is so darling! It makes me double cross my fingers that the next one is a girl:)
I just want to place my order…two for Bird and one for ME!!!
Cuz – I'm outta glue sticks or something. Yep!
Hey Kami! I met you at the retreat Friday night..
I was just looking through your blog and it's so cute! But i saw that you are related to Logan.. I knew your last name sounded familiar! I used to work with her at Remedez. what a small world.
So cute! Since I have only boys, do you think I can get my dog to wear it?
Those look great Kami! I am definitely going to give that a try sometime.
thank you so much for sharing! these are awesome!

Everytime you say "you betcha" I crackkkk up.
