Kids Craft: Red, White, & Blue Flower Headband

One of my favorite things to do with my nieces is crafts. It's a love we have in common and a special way to bond. We had a craft day while I was home visiting for Father's Day and made these adorable Red, White, & Blue Felt Flower Headbands.

As always, I try to keep my projects budget-friendly. We were able to make 4 headbands for less than $10.

Materials:
1 sheet each of red, white, and blue felt (only .29 cents at Michael's!!)
Clear Gemstones
Elastic Headband
Craft Glue
White Foam Sheet (Optional)

First, cut 3 circles out of each color felt. You can trace a circle or freehand, precision isn't essential here. We varied the size of each circle.

Next, cut the circle into a spiral.

Working from the center, wrap the felt around in a circle, spiraling out and gluing as you go.

Glue the end.

You will end up with a flower like this.

Glue a gem in the middle of each flower.

For this version, cut a circle out of the white foam and glue on the 3 flowers. Once dry, glue the foam to the headband.

For this version, glue the 2 smaller flowers on the largest flower. When dry, glue the large flower to the headband.

The girls had a lot of fun making these headbands. They were able to customize the flowers and the arrangement any way they wanted. And they are set for the 4th of July!!
