Someone wrote to me a while ago looking to learn how to make floral headbands. I really need a better system to keep track of tutorial requests, maybe a public list for submissions or something because I keep losing them between emails/Facebook/Twitter/everywhere else >_< They are super easy to make if you have the right materials so I was able to do one up in a few minutes.
Speaking of requests, I really need an easier way of keeping track of them other than email because I tend to lose emails and get confused as to who’s asked for what. I’m thinking of maybe starting a to do list somewhere where you can submit requests or something similar. Let me know what you think!
Anyway back to floral headbands…
You need:
Ribbon to be the base
Fake flowers
Green ribbon for leaves
Other pretty ribbons and beads
Needle/thread or hot glue
Start by wrapping the base ribbon around your head and deciding how much of it needs to be covered in flowers. I think it works best if you do ear to ear. I marked my ribbon using paper clips so I could see where I needed to work.
The first thing you want to do is lay out the flowers so you know how many you have and where the placement should be. I like to put them alone or in groups of two.
I had some rose ribbon so I measured it to weave in and out between the roses too. You could use regular ribbon or beads or anything.
Now we need to make a heap of leaves to go along with it. To do that you will need some green ribbon. Fold it in a loop like this.
Then into a figure 8 with a loop on the other side too.
Stitch it in the middle and snip off the extra ribbon.
Make enough of those that you can use them under all of the flowers. Some might need two or to be folded in half so both petals are on one side to make it look more interesting and natural.
Now you’ve got all the pieces it’s time to stitch it all down. If you’re in a rush you can glue it together but that’s not great for long term use, only if you’re aiming for a costume.
Taadaa!
Tie it around your head and you’re all good to go!
Thanks everyone for reading!
This totally reminds me of something Nessbow would wear, she always has the cutest floral bands!
In fact this is kind of special because this is how I used the same casual outfit from day to night with a quick accessory change.
Day time:
Dress- DreamV
Shirt- Target
Shoes- 7 Angels
Hat- Imagination
Scarf- Gift from my DadNight:
Dress- DreamV
Shirt- Target
Shoes- DreamV
Head Scarf- Crazy Clarks
Scarf- Junk Store
Glasses- Pink
I like the night version much better so there are more photos of it haha!
These shoes are so pretty but so so so so so very painful ;_;
Too many hours spent filming drives me to go slightly insane like this:
The braid at the back is my favorite part.
I’ve been playing around with different cameras too trying to find something that I can keep permanently in place for filming. I think I would film more if I could have everything set up all the time and not have to put it together XD
This is an outfit I wore to visit animal shelters recently while we were looking to adopt a puppy.
I really like how swishy this dress is but I wish the chiffon was pure white rather than the kind of odd grey it is. I’ve been thinking of experimenting with some of my old clothes and some bleach to see what happens 😀
Every time I dye my pink I like the shade so much that I take way to many silly photos of the ends of my hair, you’re lucky I only post 1 every few months of them here, my phone is littered with them!
I’ll be off now, back to the editing screen and to work ;_;
It’s a round up day today and I’m feeling so organised 😀
I’ve joined Instagram (finally!) so if you’re on there too feel free to add me, my username is VioletLeBeaux!
I’ve gotten into a routine of posting Vlogs once a week again so here’s last week’s video of some puppies I saw kissing SO CUTE!!
We received a package from PureGirlBlue too and it was AWESOME!
I’ve started feeling a bit more inspired with my make up again so here’s a Morning Make Up featuring some wearable fushia 😀
I had a lot of requests to do a tutorial on this style of bun which is braided upwards through the back of the head. Done and done 😀
The biggest news today is that I’ve finally been able to launch my Deluxe Tutorial Packs for sale. Nothing is going to change on this site, there will still be heaps of free tutorials for you guys so don’t stress out ^_^
Each pack will have a PDF pack with 3 step by step tutorials featuring 1 exclusive one and 2 reworked tutorials centered around a theme. The first theme is “Relaxing” and the tutorials are:
The 20 Minute Pajamas
The Recycled Bunny Slipper
The Kitty Sleep Mask
Each of the reworked tutorials has been reformatted, rewritten, the photos reedited so they are clearer to understand.
Each pattern includes printable pattern sheets with instructions on how to measure everything so you get the best result possible. This is all exclusive to the Deluxe Pack editions.
The PDF if optimised for viewing on iPad so you can have it there while you’re actually doing the craft and follow along.
I’m working on other packs at the moment but you can view and purchase the Relaxing pack in my Etsy store now.
