I think Christmas is hands down my favorite holiday. If I had to pick one reason why it is probably because of all the lights. I love shiny and sparkly things. They make me happy. I have a ton more reasons for loving Christmas and most of them have to do with making things with friends and family. I have been helping the kids at school for the past couple weeks with all sorts of decorations and crafts and gifts. That inspired me to do some crafting of my own.
 |
| You need mini bows. Maybe not this many but I am doing a couple and I like to have options. |
 |
| You need a hot glue gun with some glue and curling ribbon in any color that strikes your fancy. |
 |
glue one end down and start wrapping! Keep gluing as you go to secure the ribbon.
(I didn't do that on my first one so I need to on the next one!) |
 |
| Phase one complete. |
 |
| I went back the other direction with a different shade to make a candy cane looking pattern. Glue the same way as the first time. |
 |
| then add bows :) peel off the paper on the back and use hot glue to keep them super secure. If you need to trim the adhesive strip on the back to for the width of the headband. |
 |
| The first attempt is not so bad I guess. |
 |
But I wanted to add another bow :) I like bows.
|
For review--
you need: mini bows, curling ribbon, hot glue gun, glue sticks, headband(s)
This took me 10 minutes and I am pretty happy with the turn out. I can't wait to wear it with my Christmas sweater!!
