Hi all you SKIP TO MY LOU readers!!!
I’m Gillian Greding from SEASONS GREDINGS and I can’t begin to tell you how excited I am to be visiting here today!
Seriously– I’m pretty much freaking out! YAY!
Being that my blog is all about the seasons and holidays, I decided to bring you a
SPOOKY HEADBAND
just in time to make for the Halloween season!
DIRECTIONS:
black felt
hot glue
skinny feathers
lace headband or any headband
spider web ring
netting
Cut about 7 three inch circles (or kind of circles) out of felt
Fold circle in half
Then fold in half again forming a bud
Put threaded needle (tied in a knot on one end) through the bottom of the bud
Tie thread in a knot and now both sides of the bud are knotted
Thread another bud onto the needle
Pull bud next to the other bud and tie in another knot
Continue to do this knotting along the way until a flower forms
Then tie a final knot and cut the tail off
Cut another circle of felt, add glue and adhere it to the bottom of the flower
Make 2 flowers
Glue feathers onto the back of the flowers
Glue flowers together sideways
Cut a rectangle of netting and pinch in the middle
Add glue to the bottom of the two flowers and add netting
Glue a charm or ring onto the flowers
Add glue to the headband
Glue flowers to the headband
Cut a rectangle of felt the size of your flower base
Glue the rectangle to the back of the flower and headband to hide the mess
Ta Da!
A spooky, show-stopping headband filled with Halloween splendor!

OMG!! I am NOT into headbands but THIS one is just too cute to not notice!!!! I am going to make one for me!!! Love your Lil Model!! She is Absolutely Adoreable!!!!!
That headband is too cute. I have to admit I first read it as “headboard” and wondered why one would want a spooky headboard. Then as I looked at it I thought that looks like a chair to me. When I got to instructions, I finally read it correctly. Love the chair set up too.
