Create a flower from ribbon – headband for girls
Very often after small children there is a lot left behindclothes that you don’t want to throw away yet, but they have already lost their attractive appearance. My daughter had a beautiful velour blouse. I really liked its material and color, but due to unwashed stains, it lost its original beauty. But I still decided not to throw it away and I came up with the idea of making a headband for my little girl. I started making the headband by preparing the materials. For this I needed: a blouse, a needle and thread, scissors, a 5 cm wide satin ribbon (green and red), a half bead, a glue gun.
I decided to cut the bandage itself from the back.blouse, as this part was in good condition. But since its length was not enough, I supplemented it with a strip, which I cut off from the bottom of the blouse. From this strip, processed with a factory seam, I decided to make ties.
I folded the cut strip of material in half and stitched it.
Then I turned this piece inside out.
After that, I started sewing on the ties. Since I don't have a sewing machine, I decided to sew them on with an inside stitch, which I then secured a little with a glue gun.
When the headband was ready, I started to create a flower to decorate it. For this, I took three identical strips of satin ribbon and burned their edges on a candle.
After that, I started to create the petals of the flower. To do this, take one piece of ribbon, bend its corners inward and stitch with a thread, securing it with a knot on one side.
Now we tighten the thread and get a beautiful and voluminous petal.
I decided to make the top of the petal a little pointed, so I put a small drop of glue and connected the ribbons of the top together.
I made the leaves of our flower in the same way.
After that I started assembling the flower.To secure the fastening, I decided to sew the flower to the headband, especially since too much glue can create a seal that will press on the child's head. First, I sewed on the red petals, and then added the green leaves.
I decided to decorate the middle of the flowerhalf bead, but it turned out that mine was transparent, so it was almost invisible on the flower. To fix this, I put a drop of glue in the middle of the flower, sprinkled it with yellow glitter, and then glued the half bead on. It turned out very cute.
This is the cute and very inexpensive headband I got. The most important thing is to use your imagination and then old things will be able to serve you for a very long time, albeit in a slightly different role.
