Back to School Headband - with guest Creation Corner

Tasha from Creation Corner is sharing her Back to "cool" idea today!

Take it away Tasha!

Back to school can mean lots of new hair accessories. I don't have girls, but I sure do remember being a girl in Elementary School.  I had my hair done cute every single day.  Headbands are such an easy way to get your hair done.  This is a simple felt flower headband.

You will need:
Scraps of felt
I used my old school sizzix to cute my flowers out, but you could also trace them using a flower pattern
Needle and thread
Hot Glue Gun
Fabric Covered Button
Headband
First thing I did was cut out my flowers.  You want 2 larger flowers and 2 smaller flowers.
You can see what my flower shapes look like.  You could also find a free template online here.
They should look like this when you are done cutting them out.
I used two colors.  Stagger your two larger flowers to look like this.
Then stagger your two smaller flowers and place them on top of the two larger ones.
Sew the 4 flowers together with your needle and thread.
Glue on a matching fabric covered button of your choice. 
Then glue the whole felt flower onto a headband. 
There you have it.  A cute new hair accessory to wear as you start into your new school year.

  2. Hi, Megan

    Love the flowers. I like the doohickey you used to cut your flower too. LOL! I need more of those kinds of doohickeys to make my work go faster.

    Thanks for sharing.
