DIY Flower Headband!

‘ To be Or not to be?’ was the question I was asking myself after doing the work for this post. The headband itself is moderately time consuming. But to stop and take pictures at each an every single step is a horrible,horrible thing. I won’t do it again (I probably will). However since Christmas is nearly here now, I thought I might help out those who celebrate by suggesting an amazing DIY gift. I often do get crafty and create a lot of things for myself and friends. I will post a few things in the future as well (Hopefully).

Materials:

Red Satin 1/2 meter
Golden satin 1/2 meter
Plain(thin) plastic headband
1 meter Green velvet ribbon
1 meter Brown Velvet ribbon (optional)
Compass
Pencil
Scissor
Cigarette Lighter
Rexine, Felt or any other such cloth

The Following Is an Step By Step Tutorial For It:

You need compass and pencil to draw 5 circles. The first 8 cm, second 7 cm,third 6 cm, fourth 5 cm, fifth 4 cm. This is Approximate you don’t have to be exact.

Flip the satin over to the dull side before drawing circles.

All the circles in a stack

Take the Lighter

Let the flame lick at the edge of each circle. Brown it and shape it but NOT burn it.

After one of the circles has been flame-treated.

All the ‘petals’ after flame-treatment.

Take your UHU/glue gun/german glue and put together the petals. One on top of other, Order wise.

Take your little decorative beads-Or substitute with appropriate stuff.Decorate flower.

Repeat the above steps to make a red flower. Cut out brown and green velvet leaves and glue them to the back of flowers.

Begin wrapping your green velvet ribbon around thin plain plastic band.Use UHU to make this stick permanently to the band

Now your flowers and wrapped band are ready. Get ready to Roll!(FINALLY..PHEW.) Notice that my first headband has 3/4 brown and 1/4 green ribbon. The second only has green ribbon. That’s because I ran out of brown and made do with green. So make sure to buy plenty of which ever color you like best. Personally I like a combination of both.

I am using white rexine but you can use felt or any other alternative. I’m cutting out a shape to put the flowers firmly on the band. Keep watching.
