Moms of little girls, this tutorial is for you!!! These easy fabric flower headbands are a fun craft to make that can be done in just minutes. I just love doing my girls’ hair with a new hair style or accessory so these are a perfect fit.
Grab your older girls and make them together – my 10-year-old LOVES to help! I’ve seen quite a few tutorials online with slight variations, but I feel like my version is the easiest! 😉 Here is how to make them –
How to Make Fabric Flower Headbands
Supplies & Materials – You will need scissors, a hot glue gun, fabric, a button and a plastic headband.
Make The Circles – Cut out 2 large circles that are the same size, and 4 small circles.
Glue – Take your to you larger fabric circles and glue them on top of each other by hot-gluing a small little dab in the center of one and pressing the other circle on top.
For the smaller circles, fold them in half and then layer them one at a time on top of each other, stacking them on the larger fabric circles. The rounded part of the fabric will line up with the round part of the large fabric circles and the straight, folded edge will be in the center.
Secure The Fabric – Add several small dabs of glue under the layered fabric and as close to the center of the flower as possible to secure.
Embellishments – When you’re done you can glue a button or a rhinestone in the center… whatever you’d prefer!
Connect – To secure the flower to the headband, place a generous amount of glue on your rectangular fabric, then place it on the underside of your headband. Center the headband on the fabric, then place the flower on top of the headband and press firmly to secure.

OOOH…I LOVE FABRIC FLOWERS! THESE ARE ADORABLE!
I’m glad you like them, Haley!
These are adorable! Thank you for sharing. With your permission, I plan to make these with my other fabric products in my accessory line. So cute.
Do you stitch the petals to the back fabrics before you sew on the button? If so, what’s the best way to do it? I’m not very good at this stuff so I need more explanation. I’d like to make one for my granddaughters. Thanks!
thank you for sharing!! These are so amazingly simple! My daughter doesn't like headbands so I've been putting them on alligator clips.
Your tutorial is so easy to follow and you've helped me make some gorgeous bows for Easter. Thanks a ton. ~LadyBaillio

Great tutorial. These are so cute!
Those headbands are adorable, I am going to have to try making these now!
I made my niece a tote bage and decorated it with flowers… but I like how you made the center"petals" by folding over… I will have to try that next.
I am craft challenged so I found your little video very easy to follow and no your voice is pleasant. I can't wait to make several of these for my little great niece. Thank you for posting this.

Super cute! I've seen packs of 6 headbands for $1 at Walgreens lately. I think I might make the flowers but put them on alligator clips since headbands don't work for my daughter's hair. Loved the video and didn't think your voice was annoying AT ALL!
