Sorry for the bad lighting but it was night when I made these. These are the flowers that I got on sale at Ben Franklin. I don't know if you really gotta do this, but I didn't want the flowers falling apart on me, so I separated the petals and glued every single one to each other.
Then I cut circles out of white felt.
And glued them to the bottom of the flowers.
I got this headband from Price Busters for $1.50.
I cut off the plastic ring and sewed the ends of the headband together. Then I glued one of the flowers to the front.
For my next headband, I used the instructions from this video to first make a rolled fabric flower.
I cut up one of my old t-shirts 1" x 20". I ended up not using the whole length.
You can embellish it with pearls and stuff, but I don't have anything like that around. I wonder how cheap they run.
I did glue some lace around the edges. . .
and then glued the flowers onto a headband. It was pretty fast to do . . . more easy than crochetting.

He's saying "Sheesh - a flower!"
"Why couldn't she have put a bone or something!"
HAHAHAHAHA!!
You know, I did not recognize Kona.....and I got CHOKE pearls and lace and stuff....and thin satin ribbons, from when I used to do my Tshirts with the embroidery.....
Didi, Kona's snout does look extra long in the picture, yah. I did think about the t-shirts you used to make and wondered if you still had all those embellishments.
The headbands are uber cute! I might have to try making some in the future. :)
Awww,he looks so pretty...but miserable! hahaha! I got you plenty headbands that you can play with from Pricebusters today :)
Try Arbine! It's good fun.
Hahaha, he wasn't too happy Les. Plenty headbands??!! THANKS!
I thought Kona was a boy? He must love the flowers on his head. I know I would. Very cute headband!
Yeah poor thing. He kept trying to take the headband off. In the picture he's all frustrated.
Poor Kona...what a good sport. Your headbands are adorable. I might try that rolled flower for cards. The flowers won't fall off. Buy you a box of glue dots. The brand I use is called "Zots" by Therm O Web. It comes in a roll which is placed in a cube size box. There are different sizes. You should be able to find them at Ben Franklin. Use 2 of them on the back of your flowers and they will be there forever. And they will stick to anything.
poor kona!
I think the flowers would look cool in cards. Thanks for the tip on the glue dots!
He was a really good sport, Kat! But yeah, poor ting! Hahaha.
