Flower Headband

So I'm still just chugging away at making things-- I've been in a really creative mood lately so that has helped :) I may even attempt to get out my sewing machine today and make Brynley's dress-- may being the key word there- I still haven't forgotten how much I didn't enjoy sewing the crayon roll-

Anyways-- I found this cute dress for Brynley at Target-- actually she found it and was so excited about it and trying it on-- so I bought it-- sneakily-- and planned on giving it to her for Christmas but it just needed something to go with it I felt to make it a special dress for her-- so originally I was going to make a braclet for her but than I just decided to go with making a flower headband to match the dress since she seems to really like her other similar headbands.

It was easy and fun and I was able to finish it while she was at joy school one morning. I even made another one for the dress that I might eventually sew :)

Flower Headband 

1-So first off I bought some ugly headbands at wally world for cheap I think 6 for like $3 or so but they were all the wrong color so I just painted them and to make it slightly shiny I actually spray painted a clear protective gloss over it.

2- Than I went to work drawing and cutting out little flowers from some scrap satin fabric--- I cut out ten flowers and than gently pulled on the edges to give them the frayed look--- (I'm sure if you didn't want the frayed look you could easily burn the edges to keep it from fraying)

3- Than I went to gluing every two together-- folded it and squished it up until I was happy with the shape of it and than glued it one pair at a time onto the headband-- (I glued them really close together and in a straight line and on the edge ones I had it so the petals were sticking out and almost flat to the headband instead of up- if that makes sense at all)

4- Tada! We're done!  I had a hard time taking a good picture of the sucker though -- I think it will look adorable on her with her dress-- but we'll have to wait till after Christmas to see.
