Beautiful Baby Bows

I think making headbands for kids is so much fun.  They are a quick craft you can knock out and you feel accomplished instead of one that can take days.  If I felt comfortable wearing the headbands, I probably would wear them as well!  I am sure y’all know how to make them but here are my steps anyway….

I purchased elastic at JoAnn’s.  I love that they now have the elastic as I used to have to purchase it online.  I picked a cute ruffly one in white and then one in yellow.  I purchased the pink crochet flower as well, but you could easily make that.  I sewed it onto a felt backing and then onto the ribbon.

I then made the hounds tooth one.

Supplies: I just randomly cut the circles for the flowers.  I cut four of them.  I later on (not in this picture) cut smaller flowers to give it another layer.

First fold the circle in half

Then fold it in half again.  This is what you are going to sew.

Sew it onto your felt.  Some people use a hot glue gun but I don’t like how the hot glue gun can leave bumps and felt the sewing made it more secure.

Once you have all four petals sewn on it will look like this.  Now you could leave it like this, sew the button in the middle and be done but I wanted to add another layer of petals.  You do the exact same thing.  I made these circles a little smaller than the originals.
