Headbands on little girls are just the cutest. I love big flower headbands for special occasions like church, holidays, weddings, parties, etc. These fabric flower headbands are too cute. So easy to make yourself and they turn out adorable. These would make great gifts too!
I love all the different fabric flowers there are to make these days. Here is the step by step for a very simple fabric headband. What I love about this one is that you can “slop” it together in a jiffy, and it still looks great!
DIY Fabric Flower Headband
Here is what you need:
- one skinny headband (I have a thing for skinny headbands on little girls, I think they are adorable~! )
- silky fabric (like treeko (sp?) or something like it)
- matching silky ribbon to match the fabric
- needle and thread
- hot glue gun and small pearls
Step 1 – Wrap the fabric with the ribbon.
Step 2 – To prevent the ends of the ribbon from fraying, melt the ends a bit over a candle.
Step 3 – Cut out a mis-shaped oval/circle shape, and thread a needle through the center.
Step 4 – Pull the thread tight causing the fabric to bunch and ruffle.
Step 5 – Tie the thread off with a few knots to secure the cinched fabric together.
Step 6 – Now with a hot glue gun, hot glue the fabric flower to the headband and then hot glue the pearls to the fabric flower.
AND there you have it! A cute (because it’s not perfect at all) fabric flower headband.
I love these! I just posted some DIY hairbows on my blog and I was looking for another (more sophisticated version) to try out. I think these would be perfect in some beautiful chiffon fabrics. I’m excited I found your blog (go google!).
I love this!!! Thanks so much for sharing your talent with the world!
I’m echoing what everyone else has already said, but such a great idea made super simple. I wonder…does it work with other fabrics just as well? Hmmmm may have to give it a whirl with some of the scraps I have lying around.
Thanks for sharing the idea.
Lovely! I’ve seen a lot of fabric flower tutorials, but I love how simple this one is
So cute. And simple. I’ve got tons of scrap fabric this project would be perfect for!
Wow this hair bow looks harder than it is! I love it! It’s my kind of craft!
So adorable! I love over sized flowers on little kids!
