Artsy Fartsy: Flower Bands

I have been wanting to make these little (or big, however you look at it) headbands for my girls for some time now.  I finally got my butt in gear and made some.  This one was super easy so I thought I would show how I made it.  Here are my artsy fartsy flower bands:

The finished product

How I did it...

 The supplies:  Scissors, a flower, ribbon, hot glue gun, pliers, Fray Check, alligator hair clip, and a stretchy head band (not shown, see it in the picture above)

Cut the ribbon to size so it fits all the way around the clip.  Apply the Fray Check to the ribbon so the ends do not fray. 

 Start by hot gluing the ribbon to the inside of the clip

 Wrap the ribbon all the way around the clip. (this helps not pull the hair on your little one's head)

 While the clip is setting up from the glue, cut the stem off of  your flower.  

 I opted to take the base off of the flower too so that I could glue the flower as close to the clip as possible.

 Use the inside part of your pliers to cut the rest of the stem off right next to the petals.

 Hot glue the petal layers together and then hot glue it to the clip.

 Clip the flower to your stretchy band.  

 Pretty girls!

 hmm, what is that on sissy's head?  I think I will pull on it.

 I suppose it could be a neck flower too.

One of my many craft projects down!  Next time I think I will add some sparkle.
Do you have any fun artsy fartsy things going on in your house?
