Headband Tutorial

Making Headbands


The items you need...


I buy mostly silk flowers that I can be taken apart... petal by petal
One flower with many petals will make several headbands.
You can also use the leaves off of the stems
And puff balls in many colors


A glue gun


Cut a 1/2" or 3/4" piece of ribbon about 36" long
Use a sturdy ribbon like grosgrain


Find the middle of the ribbon
Either mark with a pencil or finger press the center


Cut the ends of the ribbon into an angle



Hot glue on the first petal


Continue gluing the petals building up your design


Continue by adding the leaves and more colors


Glue the puff balls into the center of the petals
And you are finished

Use your creativity to make the headbands in any color
You can also use small flowers and bows on the petals 




Have fun!!
