Baby Girl Headbands

Materials:
Knee Highs, the legs of bay girls tights, or women’s nylons or Trouser socks. You can get the little egg shell knee highs at Wal-Mart for about 33cents and they are great for very little babies or their Trouser socks are a good deal as well and have a “higher” quality look in the fabric. The only limitation with the knee highs and trouser socks is the length. If you are trying to fit a bigger head sometimes nylons or tights are better to use. And it is hard to find the pink color unless you go with little girls tights.

Flowers. Hobby Lobby usually has the best selection and a lot of time s you can get them 50% off. Look for colors you want as well as flowers that look like they could lay somewhat flat. Another tip is to take a Hawaiian Lai and use the petals from it. You can combine lots of different colors which make for a great deal.

Glue Gun
Needle and Thread
Wire cutter or scissors
Jewels you can find these in the bead/jewelry section of Hobby Lobby. They have lots of different sizes, shapes and colors.

Instructions:

Take your knee highs or tights and glue or stitch the ends together.
cut or pull the flower of the stem as close to the petals as possible. The petals may come apart but that’s okay.

Take each petal and glue it one at a time onto the headband over the part where you attached the ends.

Take a jewel or the original idle of the flower and glue it to the center of the flower petals.
