First off, I used sheer ribbon and an embroidery needle and thread.
I cut the ribbon in half lengthwise.
Then began to sew along the bottom edge of my ribbon strip, like this.
Once I had about 8 inches or so of the ruffled ribbon, I knotted the end of my thread and cut it off.
Then spiraled the strip so that I had a few layers of the ribbon stacked like a rosette.
After adding a few stitches to keep it together, I burnt the edges of the ribbon.
Using a pretty filigree button for the center, I stitched it in the center with the embroidery thread.
For the back, I cut a circle of red felt and glued it on.
For the other flower, I used a thin, white gauzy fabric and a jar lid for a template.
Once I had a circle shape, I layered my fabric and pinned. Then cut out my circles all at once. You'll need 6 or more circles.
I kept 2, then trimmed the other 4 down to two different sizes. Two of each size.
Then using a lit candle, I burnt all the edges of my circles.
Then I stacked each circle, biggest to smallest and stitched the center a few times.
I then used 3 pearl colored beads for the center and sewed them on with a needle and thread.
Then I used white felt and cut a two circle shape, like this.
Hot glued onto the side of my headband.
And then glued on my flowers.
You are done!
Fancy enough for this gal!
Have a terrific day!!
