Gathered Flower Headband

My little Baby Bear is almost a year old, but still doesn't have very much hair. She recently got a new wardrobe (seriously, this girl literally outgrew everything in her closet), so obviously she needed some new hair accessories to match her summery attire. To be fair, I may or may not have been bored this afternoon as well. This is my new flower type and probably my favorite so far. Hope you enjoy it too!



Gathered Flower Headband
Materials:
- Strip of fabric, 2" by 15" (or wider than 2" if you want to make a bigger flower)
- Needle and thread
- Elastic cut to about 1/2" smaller than head circumference
- Button

1. Run a stitch down one side of the fabric.

2. When you reach the end, pull the thread to "cinch" the fabric up. 
3. Twist the cinched fabric to make a flower shape, secure with needle and thread.
4. Sew button into the middle of the fabric.
5. Sew the ends of the elastic together, overlapping about 1/4" then sew the elastic onto the back of the flower.
