DIY FELT FLOWER HEADDRESS
I've seen a ton of flower headdresses around, but I wanted to make one that was quick to make, cartoony and an easy accessory for kids (and me) to dress up in. I think this one works quite well for all of those things, and I pretty much love it. If you want it to seem a little more grown-up, you can paint some shading on the petals to give them a little more definition.
Step 1
Fold a small piece of paper in half and draw this heart shape in the folded corner. You're going to need a clover shape like this when you open it out. Cut this shape out of felt.
Step 2
Cut out two of your clover shapes and pile them on top of each other. Sew a few stitches in the middle of your felt pieces.
Step 3
Take one petal and roll it up like this to form the center of the rose.
Step 4
Now take the opposite petal and wrap it around the central curled petal, put a few stitches at the base to secure it.
Step 5
Wrap the two remaining petals around the center and secure with stitches.
Step 6
Now continue wrapping petals until your rose is complete and secured with stitches.
Step 7
Now assemble your goodies. You're going to need around 7-8 roses and then also some leaf shapes cut out of green felt.
Step 8
To attach your rose to your headband simply sew a stitch through the bottom of your rose and round the headband. Sew this over and over until your rose feels strong.
Step 9
Add a few leaves on either side of each rose to bulk out your headband.
Step 10
Continue until your headband is finished and you're done!
