Flower Child; Flower Power - DIY Headband

This headband is too simple for words. It's also very sweet. Big flowers on your hair can sometimes be obnoxious, but sometimes they can be quite soft, and feminine. I definitely wouldn't wear this all the time, but on that hot sunny day this is more than likely the headband that I will reach for.

You can buy these big flowers at almost any craft store, however they are much cheaper at stores like Big Lots, or Wal Mart in the floral department. The "band" that's around my head is a stretchy piece of trim, it's very soft so it doesn't even feel like I am wearing anything. I also made the back of the headband adjustable, this way I can expand it if my hair is big, or tighten it if I am wearing a bun.

To complete this project; you will need;
- 1 Big Flower
- 2 End Caps [Jewelry Making Supplies]
- Glue Gun
- 1/2 Yard of Trim
- 3 Open Jump Rings
- 1 Large Lobster Clasp

- 1/4 Foot Extender Chain

- Wire Cutter

    Cut away any protruding pieces of metal from the back of your flower.

   This is what mine looks like after cutting;

   Now take a little bit of glue and glue the trim across the back of the flower [on the metal piece only]

   Take the end caps, and glue each end of the trim inside of them. Like so;

  Hook your jump rings to both sides of the trim, then connect your chain. Attach your lobster clasp to one  end of the chain.

Here is what the back of the headband looks like. Notice how the chain makes it adjustable.
