My new Crafting love! DIY flower headbands

So lately I've been loving crafting and little DIY projects. They are just so fun. The other weekend we made some cute little flower headbands.  The process is actually really simple...So if you want to know how to make these cute DIY headbands, keep on reading


Getting everything set up 

                                What you need: fabric glue, scissors, some colorful fabric, plain headbands (you can get some from Target for a dollar) or stretchy   ribbon, candle and match, needle and thread and gems/beads (optional)


First you are going to cut out several circles of your chosen fabric. You are going to want to use a man made fabric, like satin for the candle part to work. Then with the lighted candle, hover the fabric over the flame for a little bit until it slightly curls. This gives it a more interesting curled crisp look. If it catches on fire (which happened multiple times for me :)) just blow it out and trim  of the burnt part.
Repeat that process until you have a bunch of the circles making your flower shape. Then sew a few stitches right through the middle of the flower, which should secure the "petals" together.


Now you can some little rhinestones with the glue or sew on little beads. Or you can do both, like in this picture.

Experiment with different colors and fabrics! Finally sew or glue the flower to your headband or stretchy ribbon. And ta-da! A super easy fun and cute flower headband!

I hope you all found this helpful and try this project out. This is a really versatile headband for all ages!
I will posting more crafting ideas and projects since I am making a lot of DIY stuff for my new room! Look forward to that! Thanks for reading :)
