Are you ready to create these FABulous flower headbands or brooches in about 5 minutes?
Ready, Set, Go!
Chevron Chiffon Flower
1. If you are making a headband, measure your little ladies head and cut your elastic to that measurement.
2. Put right sides of elastic together and stitch ends together by tying a small knot at the end of your thread and stitching back and forth/in and out until you feel the ends of the elastic are secure.
3. Optional: Hot glue a felt circle to the back of the headband where your newly sewn seam is.
You could skip this step and glue the flowers/puffs right to the headband as well.
If you are making a brooch, hot glue the felt circle to a Brooch Pin.
4. Hot glue the Curly Ostrich Puff to the felt circle.
5. Hot glue the Chevron Chiffon flower to the Curly Ostrich Puff and the button to the center of the flower.
NOTE: Instead of using a button for your center, you can also use one of our Resins or Gems.
Bon Bon Flower
**The steps to create this flower are exactly the same as above, but I have typed that out again for convenience purposes.
1. If you are making a headband, measure your little ladies head and cut your elastic to that measurement.
2. Put right sides of elastic together and stitch ends together by tying a small knot at the end of your thread and stitching back and forth/in and out until you feel the ends of the elastic are secure.
3. Optional: Hot glue a felt circle to the back of the headband where your newly sewn seam is.
You could skip this step and glue the flowers/puffs right to the headband as well.
If you are making a brooch, hot glue the felt circle to a Brooch Pin.
4. Hot glue the Marabou Puff to the felt circle.
5. Hot glue the Bon Bon to the Marabou Puff and button to the center of the flower.
