Mommy Made

So I have been wanting Lola to start wearing some headbands, but the ones you find in the store are just really not cute. I haven't tried any boutiques because I don't have one close to me, so I can't say that I have looked everywhere, but, where I have looked - no likey! I looked online at ordering some, but I really wanted one for her to wear for Thanksgiving, so I knew that it wouldn't be here fast enough. In looking at them online, it didn't seem like they would be all that difficult to make, and I called my sister-in-law Rae Lynn for reassurance! After talking to her I set out to make Lola one last night and I LOVE it! Now I am going to make more, knowing that I can do it! Last nights was my practice one and I was crossing my fingers in hopes that it would turn out! I already have orders to make some for my friends' girls! More pics to come of this actually on her head!

Just in case you feel inspired to make these they are really easy. It takes about 10 minutes!
*Measure head and cut elastic to fit
*Sew together ends (I tried to hand sew and it worked ok, but I broke the needle? So ended up using the brad fasteners that I used to put the flowers on to hook the two sides together! Kinda ghetto I know, but until I get a sewing machine, that is going to have to be how it goes!)
*Pluck your flowers off of stems (you can also buy flowers that are in a container, but if you buy the fake flowers by the bundle, you get a little bit more variety.)
*Stick brad fastener through the middle of the flower (you could also hot glue, my glue gun is just at school, so I didn't have it. The brad fasteners do not hurt or leave marks on babies head, but I didn't make the elastic tight, they probably will if I still have her wearing this when she is 12!)
