Cute. Cheap. Easy... The BEST kind of girly craft, right? I made these for College Daughter. The two strips of the band are just braided fabric sewn to a piece of elastic across the back. There's a tutorial for this part at Smile and Wave. Then I just made three fabric flowers by twisting strips of the same fabric around and around and stitching the coils together and then onto the bands. Ta-Da! Get ready for all the compliments on your new headband!

Hello Mary Beth,
This headband is precious!! I find nothing more relaxing than hand sewing and messing with paper and fabric. ♥ Well....maybe my graphic design will slide in there with that too..:0)
Thanks so much for visiting and commenting on my fabric flowers.
Have a wonderful Spring day...
Hugs,

What fun! Thanks for stopping by.
Definitely cute. I like to wear headbands sometimes. Thanks for sharing this idea.
That is really cute. I didn't even realize headbands were still in use until my Mom won one at a Halloween party.
These are so neat! The grandchickies would love them.
Gotta say though, love the story below this one about the strawberry powder. Now that was cute!

I like how these turned out. College Daughter is lucky to have such a smart, talented mom!
I LOVE this headband! I bet I could get one of my girls to wear one! I can't get headbands to stay on MY head!

These are lovely and would look great in my grand daughter and my daughter's long hair. What size elastic did you use for the back?
This is lovely. You are so creative and talented.
Very nice and I like the way you embellished it with the flowers.
Thank you for an adorable stop on my journey through Alphabe-Thursday's letter "L"!
