DIY Headband and Hair Flower

You will need...
~ribbon (this will be the color of your headband
~2 hair ties for each headband
~hot glue gun
~fabric (for the flower)
~felt
~small hair clip (optional)
~embellishments (optional)

Headband:

1. Tie the 2 hair ties together and measure the ribbon using your head. (Make it slightly smaller than your head so it will be tight)
2. Glue the ribbon onto the hair ties and your done!

Flower: (better flower tutorial coming soon)

1. Cut out about 6 or 7 circles depending on how thick you want your flower, the size of the circle will be the size of the finished flower. Cut out a piece of felt a little smaller than the size of the flower circles.
2. Fold each piece of the flower in half once then in half again so its the shape of an ice cream cone then glue it onto the felt with the tip in the center.
3. Keep adding the petals until the flower is filled out. To make a smaller flower in the center do the same thing just a bit smaller.
4. On my flower I've added a jewel in the center of my flower. I also glued a clip onto the back of the flower so it can be clipped onto the headband or worn alone.

DIY Fabric Flower Necklace




You will need:
-felt (I chose white to match my fabric)
-long strips of cloth
-beads/pearls/small embellishments
-hot glue
-ribbon

1. Start by cutting three circles out of the felt, about 2" in diameter. You will also need three strips of cloth about 2" wide by 18" long (the longer the piece the bigger the flower.
2. Fold one end of the cloth and glue to the center of the felt piece.
3. Start twisting the fabric and wrapping it into a flower, hot gluing as you go.
4. When you finish cut off all the spare threads and repeat for the next 2 flowers.

5. Hot glue small strips of felt on the back to attach the flowers and hot glue on the ribbon.


6. If you want add the beads or embellishments to the center of the flower. (I added pearls)
