Create a beautiful French Twist Flower Headband using our beautiful ready-made flowers. Add bling to the centers and french veil netting to create a gorgeous vintage look. Read more to see the tutorial.
Hi everyone! I’m Terra from mama says sew and I’m here to show you how to make this gorgeous French Twist Flower Headband, using supplies from The Ribbon Retreat.
It features the French Twist Flower from The Ribbon Retreat. They have 19 different colors. Since the flower is already made, this is a snap to put together. I also love the vintage feel that French Veil Netting gives. You can use it in so many ways for hair accessories.
You will need:
Metal Headband
Felt Circles
Antique Mix Vintage Tin (buttons)
French Twist {3 of them}
(I used Jungle Green, Light Rose, and Nude)
French Veil Netting
Pick out three buttons from your Vintage Tin {I believe each one has a unique
assortment} and glue them to the centers of your flowers. I held the center of the
flower open with one hand and covered the button shank in hot glue, then glued it on.
Glue the flowers to your headband. They come with felt circles attached, which is
helpful.
Then glue on three more felt circles on the other side of the headband to secure the
flowers in place.
Cut a rectangle of French Veil Netting to your desired size.
Pinch the netting in the center.
Fold it in half and secure with a dab of hot glue.
Glue it behind the flowers and you’re done!
Thank you so much Terra for showing us your French Twist Flower Headband. I love the look of these flowers and a hint of netting. It is beautiful!
These French Twist flowers are so simple to make into a headband since they are pre-made! There are 19 beautiful colors, each for only $1.45. Check them out! While you’re looking at these, you can also browse our wide selection of ready made flowers.

I love this project, but I can’t get the netting quite right. Mine doesn’t look as crinkled as the one in the picture. Any suggestions or further explanation about how to do the netting?
I’d love to help you get the netting how you want it. I cut mine with the width of the fabric, so the diamonds in the netting are oriented vertically. You could also try cutting it longer, so that there is more of it when you pinch it in the center. Let me know if I can help further!
love this idea,everything but, the netting, awesome idea tho Am waiting & looking to see more of your …Thanks for sharing, Janice Jenkins…Have a wonderful day
Why when I click on your tutorials all I get is the words and no pictures.??
Hi Pat! Yikes…I am so sorry! We do have a feature on our blog that makes the pictures load a little slower than our words. Maybe you are experiencing an even slower load time on our photos? Maybe you could even close our blog and with a restart of your computer it will fix itself. I hope this helps. I am sorry again and hope you are able to view our photos after the above suggestion. Thank you Pat! Michelle 🙂
