DIY: Homemade Satin Flower Headbands!
Supplies: Varying colors of satin material, thin black stretchy headbands (from Walmart or CVS), brown or green felt, small clear beads, a lighter, a glue gun & scissors
How to:
1. Cut 6 circles in decreasing size from the color satin materials (with the biggest circle about 3 inches in diameter). Take a lighter & lightly melt the edges of each “petal” to create a curled look!
2. One by one, hot glue each petal to the circle that is the next smallest in size. After you glue the smallest petal to the flower, leave a large circle of glue in the center. Sprinkle the clear beads on the circle of glue and press in until it is completely covered with beads. Discard the extra beads.
3. Next, cut out two leaves from the brown or green felt. Delicately melt the edges of each leaf with a lighter to get a more polished look. Hot glue the two leaves together.
4. Finally, hot glue the the flowers onto the leaves. When completely dry, hot glue the flowers & leaves to the black stretchy headband & you’re good to go! A fun & pretty flower headband is ready to wear!
