How To Make A Felt Daisy Headband

What you need: 

• White felt
• Needle
• Ribbon
• Yellow thread
• Pen
• Scissors

Start with the white felt and draw a circle, if you need to use something round to trace around.

Cut as many circles as you want daisies. I chose to make my headband with 5 because I think odd numbers work look better.

Find the centre of the circle by folding it in half twice and putting a pen dot where the folds intersect.

Now draw a small circle in the middle which will be the yellow part in the end. Then it’s time to cut the petals, below you can see the order in which to cut. You should cut from the outside edge and stop at the inside circle. You will end up with 12 petals, the crappy diagram at the bottom has lines to show the cuts XD

Now on each of the petals cut the corner off into a rounded point.

Repeat on the other side ^_^

Now thread your needle with the yellow thread. You could either use thick embroidery thread or just double up like I did, if you use thin cotton you will be here forever.

Turn your flower over to the right side (the non-drawn on one) and running stitch around the centre circle. Pull the thread tight so the flower buckles a little and becomes more 3d and the petals stick up a bit.

Do a second round of running stitch in the gaps from the first one so it forms a complete circle of yellow:

Now stitch across the circle like this:

Then go back the other way so it forms a kind of cross hatching ^_^ and fills in the circle. Done!

Repeat for all of the daisies then sew them on to the ribbon ^_^ I used a green ribbon for the tie then added a yellow ribbon over the top as an extra dangly thingy.

And that’s it!

Wear and enjoy ^_^
