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!!
