THE big honking flower.

this one is one of my favorites....


it involves felt (yes...more felt) and lots of cutting of petals.....! I just add a strip of hot glue down the middle of each petal

(anytime you see these pictures this week was when I was under the weather and refused to move from THIS spot on my couch. don't judge.)

I had a circle of felt cut out and I just hot glued them around in a circle....

once the first layer is set in..you cut petals a bit smaller and repeat...


and repeat....I did three layers but you could do as many as needed. I added a circle of felt for the middle.



I hot glued it to the headband...then added a pretty strip of felt over it to make it look pretty and hold it on a little better.




ohmygosh she is sooo cute.

must take after her mama.

who is me.

    I agree, she is BEAUTIFUL, and this headband is my fav so far, so cute.

    Very clever, but where's the velcro, :)
