Description

Instructions

  1. Small step 1 1325727050

    cut a 6 inch strip of lace

  2. Small step2 1325728105

    Knot the end of your thread. (I used bright red so you can see it) Stitch along one side of the lace, being sure to make your stitches fairly big. The bigger the stitch, the deeper the ruffle. I use a 1/4 inch stitch

  3. Small step3 1325727196

    Push all the lace to the knotted end of the thread into a tight gather.

  4. Small step4 1325727321

    Shape the ruffle into a flower shape, pulling the thread tight. the lace should spiral naturally. Use tiny stitches to shape the flower, then tie of your thread and cut it off.

  5. Small step5 1325727512

    If your lace is as skinny as mine, whip up a few more flowers to make a nice cluster.

  6. Small step6 1325727610

    Use a hot glue gun to glue some pearls to the center of the flowers. You can also sew the pearls down.

  7. Small step7 1325727663

    Glue the flowers to your headband base (I made mine from fishtail braided twine with elastic sewed between the ends) or glue them down to a piece of felt, then glue that onto an alligator clip.

  8. Small step8 1325727753

    Turn the headband over, and glue little pieces onto the back of the headband, making sure that they are also secured to the back of the flowers to hold them on tightly. All done!
