I'm positive that most of you have seen these great little flowers around the internet. Most of the time, I see them like this, which are oh so cute:
But take a look at these, where she made them with individual petals instead of circles- they are so amazingly pretty! I love them! Here's the link to the tutorial...Lola Headband
So after seeing this tutorial, off I went to the fabric store. Luckily they had a big sale on their halloween fabrics, which the satin poly was a part of. I got lots of colors for only a few dollars. (I only bought a 1/4 yard of each, since I am not making a ton of them...) Anyway, Here's a version of one that I did in black. Not nearly as cute as the originals...but Emma loved the beads in the center. (I also attached the alligator clip- my girls will not keep headbands in at all.)
I also tried this one in blue, but I didn't use as many petals, AND I didn't scrunch them up at all, so this is a good example of what not to do...not nearly as cute. :)
(And doesn't everyone craft while making dinner??)
I love making those kinds, the individual petal ones are great. and it all depends on how you hold the material on how it scrunches really.
