DIRECTIONS

 

STEP 1: Cut out circles 1 – 4 in Chiffon fabric. Cut out circle 5 in felt or scrap fabric.{OPTIONAL: if you want the fuller flower picture by the women above who is wearing the headband, cut circles 1 - 4 out twice, so that there are 8 layers instead of four.}

STEP 2: Singe the edges of fabric by holding near the flame as shown below. Practice on a scrap until you get the hang of it. Do each circle one at a time. Layer circles, 1 on top and 4 on the bottom. Secure the center with a pin. {If doing eight layers, layer them, starting from the top 1-1, 2-2, 3-3, 4-4}

 

STEP 3: Tie the cording ends into a tight double knot, like how you tie your shoes.






STEP 4: Sandwich the knotted cording in between the circle 5 cutouts. Set machine to a tight zigzag stitch. Zigzag, so the cording is in between the stitches.

STEP 5: Pin flower to the felt/scrap circle. Double thread a needle and tie a knot at the end. Make sure the bead will fit through the needle. Then Sew three pearl beads in the center, through the flower and felt/scrap.Knot the end when done.

 
STEP 6: Using fabric or craft glue, glue a piece of scrap fabric on backside to cover up stitches. DONE!

If the headband keeps on slipping out of your hair, use some bobby pins to secure it.
