Felt & Button Elastic Headband Tutorial

These are so simple & fun to make!! And they're perfect for Spring! Make 'em to match your Easter attire!

The supplies: scissors, pinking shears, small bits & scraps of felt, marker, thread, needle, buttons, thimble, headbands.

(About the headbands: I got mine at Target. They also come in pastel & other colors. Wish I'd had the lighter bands for this project, but I just used what I had!)
Draw various flowery shapes onto the felt.

Cut them out & choose a button for the center.


Stack your pieces together.

Simply stitch your pieces, stacked all together, onto the headband, sewing up & down through the buttonholes. You may or may not need a thimble here.

This is the back view.

The light pink flower was made by cutting out a sort of dogwood flower (or 4-leaf clover) shape & adding a small grey circle to the center, topped off with a pearly white vintage button.

For the brown/blue combo, I cut a larger organic blobby circle shape from tan felt & a smaller similar organic shape using a dark mustard colored felt. I cut three strips of light blue felt & snipped the ends into a "V" shape. I topped it with a vintage button which had a broken shank. After the felt pieces were sewn onto the headband, I just used E6000 to glue the button right on top.

All the felt floral embellishments for the headbands measure approximately 2 1/2" across.

Happy Headbanding!
