Flashy Headbands

I was bored a couple of weeks ago and since I have a crazy love for ribbons and buttons, I was searching the web for crafts involving just these two items and found the prettiest headband!


Actually, I had been wanting to attempt crafting headbands for quite some time because I had seen a gorgeous one made with scrap pieces of ribbon at a store in Niagara-on-the-Lake months ago (reminder to self- I must go back there and look at it again, I can't find a photo of one similar anywhere!).


Flashy Headbands
Elastic (2 yards for $1.49) at Lens Mill- you can choose the width of band you would like and colour
Ribbon (3 for $1) at Michaels OR they have plenty at dollar stores in various colours/ sizes
Felt (3 sheets for $1) at the dollar store
Glue Gun and Glue
Thread and Needle
Buttons


In hindsight, it was much easier to purchase a package of headbands- either plain ones or the full elastic ones available in plenty of different colours for both children and adults at the dollar store in packages of 2-8 for $1. Buying the separate elastic and sewing the ends together would only be beneficial for infants, so you could measure the correct size.


Use the ribbons/ buttons and anything else you may like to decorate your headband (feathers, flowers, felt pieces, etc). Attach to headband using a piece of felt- use LOTS of hot glue and be careful not to burn yourself!!!


You can use different styled ribbons with patterns for Holidays as well. This past St. Patricks day, I wore a green ribboned headband with green and white feathers- it looked great!
