Girly Valentine's Headband

As morning nap time is happening, I have decided to get to making my daughter's Valentine's day headband.  This year is her first Valentine's day, but I didn't get her a "first Valentine's day" shirt, because I want her to be able to wear it more than on Valentine's day so we got this one!!


SO CUTE RIGHT?!?!?!?

Anyway, I usually make bows, bows and more bows, but this time I decided to go "outside the box" and swing a new look!!

What You Will Need:
*Hot Glue Gun
*Felt
*Elastic Ribbon
*Double Ruffle Ribbon (I actually used what Walmart calls "Ribbon Daisy" which is flowers made with ruffle ribbon)
*Scissors to cut the ribbon and felt

So First I drew a heart on the felt with a hot pink sharpie because the "Ribbon Daisy" color is hot pink.  Of course then I cut the heart out, but because I used white colored felt (that's all I had) I took the hot pink sharpie and colored in the heart.

Then I cut the ribbon and glued it on the heart, make sure you don't leave any gaps or it will look silly like this!
Glued together it looks pretty!!
After that I cut the Elastic Ribbon to fit my daughter's head.  (I just measured with one of her other headbands)

Then glue the ends of the elastic ribbon together to make the headband.

Cut a small piece of felt the width of the headband. (optional) I do this because I like it to stick out from the headband a little.

Glue that small piece of felt to the headband where you glued the headband together.

Then glue your heart onto the small piece of felt.

And ci si va your headband is finished!!!!

This headband has been the easiest I have made so far!!

Divertire!! (have fun!)
