Vanessa at The Crafty Nest shares this easy tutorial for creating a Felted Flower Headband! With the holidays around the corner, this project would be perfect for gifts and stocking stuffers.

What you’ll need ~

• Felt (3 different colors plus green for the leaves)
• Glue gun
• Scissors
• Alligator clip
• Headband

How to make it ~

Step 1: Cut felt into a 1.5 x 11 inch strip. The longer your strip, the bigger your flower will be. I broke out my rotary cutter but scissors will work just fine.

Step 2: Cut slits into the felt strip.

Step 3: Tightly roll up the felt strip, hot gluing along the bottom.

Step 4: Fan out your “petals” and you have a flower. Repeat steps 1-3 to make 2 additional flowers.

Step 5: Cut a circle out of felt, about the same size as the 3 flowers bunched up together. Add a big dab of glue to the bottom of the flowers and stick them to the circle.

Step 6: Cut out 3 leaves. Add a tiny dab of hot glue to the bottom of the leaf and pinch.

Step 7: Hot glue the leaves to the 3 flowers.

Step 8: Hot glue one side of the alligator clip to the circle base. Cut a strip of felt, the length of the circle base, and hot glue it in between the alligator clamps to secure the clip to the base.

Step 9: Attach the clip of flowers to a soft headband (or a jacket, purse, hat, etc.). Make your own baby headbands using the tutorial from Craftiness is not Optional.

Step 10: Now you have a pretty little headband to slip on your little one or to give as a gift.
