soooooooooooo are you ready for the easiest DIY like…EVER?! oh and did I mention, super cute? I actually threw this together this morning (in under 10 minutes, now that’s what I’m talkin’ bout 😉 to wear to the fall kick-off for our church’s youth group (I was asked to take some photos and watch the potato-themed fun).
Anyway, back to headband talk… ready to make? okay, lets go!
Here’s the supplies Felt – I went a little crazy at the craft store the other day and got just about every fall color they had in stock (at 30cents a piece I was a biiiig spenda!) Elastic – mine was an 1.5 inches wide, I think! Thread Scissors oh and either a needle or a sewing machine (I used my machine just so it’d be extra sturdy)
I just wrapped the elastic around my head to figure out the right size, you’ll sew it a tiny bit smaller (but not too small, nothing it more annoying than a super tight headband that keeps sliding off your head all day!)
cut out your leaf shapes in different colors!
sew your elastic ends (by hand if you don’t have a machine)
next just sew your leaves on! I sewed the “hidden” ends first and then went over all 3 to make it extra sturdy.
All Done!
Enjoy!

eek! So cute! I wish I knew how to sew/had a machine. It’s on my to-do! Thanks for sharing! I’m all for easy & awesome DIY’s! <3
You could totally even just hand-sew this -I use my machine to make it extra sturdy!
