You will need:

Snip off the ends of the toothpicks, this is how we will keep the headbands apart so they don’t touch.

Hot glue a little piece of toothpick between each headband at the end.

You can vary the angle of the headbands depending on how thick the toothpicks are and how they sit.

Now wrap the ends in embroidery thread and glue it in place.

See now the tops sit apart:

And it looks adorable on!
