Instructions
- Prepare the Supplies: Gather all the materials you need. Make sure to cut the ribbon to the desired length, taking into account that it needs to be long enough to tie securely around your child's head.
- Start with the Flowers: Remove the backing from the three large felt flower shapes and press them onto the center of the ribbon. Space them evenly for a balanced look. If you don't have self adhesive flowers, then apply glue and to the back and follow the same steps.
- Add Smaller Flowers: Now, stick smaller flowers on top of the three large ones. This gives your headband a vibrant, multi-dimensional look.
- Add the Details: Time to shine! Let your child choose their favorite glitter stickers or other decorations and stick them in the center of the flowers.
- Seal the Back: Once the decorations are in place, flip the hairband over. Cover any sticky surfaces with a piece of paper to keep the headband comfortable and non-sticky to wear.
- Ready to Wear: You’re done! Simply place the hairband on your child's head and tie it securely. They now have their own beautiful, custom hairband!
