Fancy Christmas Headband

By Vixenmade @vixenMade
Yes, my friends.  I have yet another hair accessory tutorial for you.
With Christmas coming up, I love accenting my daughter's outfits with some cute hair accessories.  It helps that she loves to dress up.  So I created something a little sweet and fancy.. perfect for Christmas!


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!!
