Flower Headband How-to

I have been wanting to have a dainty flowered headband that ties. I have a hard time with regular headbands as they squeeze my head and give me a headache. So here's my {inexpensive} how-to and a way to upcycle some old clothes :)

Flowered Headband

You will need:

Velour ribbon or any ribbon
Old black Tshirt
Old Lace shirt
Loose pearls
Big round button
Scissors
Needle
Thread

* Cut a small square from your black T-shirt. Place button on fabric and cut out small circle using the circle as a guide.

* Find a good sized flower in the lace pattern from your shirt. Cut it out around the edges.

* Place flower on top of black circle. You should barely be able to see the outer edges of the black circle.

* Sew pearl on to both layers. Secure.

* Repeat for the number of flowers you wish to have.

* Measure your ribbon/headband out on your head and mark where you would like your flowers to lay. Mark spot with small straightpin.

* Stitch little flower onto ribbon from one end of the flower to the other. That way the end of the flower can't lift up away from the ribbon/headband.

* Repeat for as many flowers as you cut out.

Your finished product!

I think it looks pretty darn cute!

I love trying to reproduce things I see and that I like. This project was very easy and took about 30-45 minutes. It's a quick way to make use of some old clothes you no longer wear and make them into something cute and useful!!

I hope you enjoyed my how-to. Oh and by the way, a little birdie told me that you may be able to find one of these in my super secret giveaway!! Just sayin.
