Fabric flower headband tutorial

Yep, my first ever step by step tutorial.  Are you prepared to be amazed?  

 I have been saving Ben's shirts instead of throwing them out when they get holes in them, so I had this pile laying around downstairs.  You can use any fabric you want.

Here are the other things we used.  Hot glue gun, ruler, scissors, white felt and ribbon

First Sara cut a strip out of the back of the shirt about 2 inches wide.

Then we cut a circle out of the felt about the size we wanted the flower to be.  Start at the narrow end and glue it down in the middle of the felt circle.  Twist the fabric and form it into a rosette, gluing it to the felt as you go.

We did two rosettes for this headband one a little bit bigger than the other.  When both rosettes were done we laid them out on the felt side by side and traced around them with a marker. Sara cut out the felt inside the marker line because we don't want to see the felt on the finished headband.

Then lay the felt down and glue the ribbon down the middle.  Glue each flower down on top of the ribbon and you're done.

I just tied the ribbon under her hair with the flowers a little off to the side of her head.  She loves it and wants more in different colors.  Start to finish maybe 20 minutes.
