For the longest time I have wanted some of those crochet headbands with the flowers on them...but I didn't want to pay like $15 for just one like many boutiques charge. So...I took things into my own hands!
I started off by googling "wholesale infant crochet headbands" I came across the website http://www.polkadotwholesale.com/. AMAZING! They sell crochet headbands for as cheap as 55 cents each, the more expensive (larger) ones are $1.00 each. They also have KUFI HATS! I've been dying to get one of these for Addie, unfortunatly I ordered the wrong size so its too big at the moment. Anyways, look at what I got:
Now some of these I already had. I found some at Family Dollar in 4 packs for just $1 so I grabbed every package (that had diff colors) that they had. So thats why I have several black and white ones. I ordered 8 of the headbands off the website listed above plus the KUFI hat. Total came to $8 and the shipping was only $3! Loooove it! :)
Now for the flower part...I went to Hobby Lobby and got:
-alligator clips
-hot glue gun+sticks
-rhinestones
-ribbon
-flowers
I took the stems off the flower and cut as close to the bottom of the flower that I could. I glued a square piece of ribbon to the back to hold the flowers layers in place. I then glued a strip of ribbon to the alligator clip and glued the clip to the back of the flower. Then all I did was pick out a pretty rhinestone and glue it to the center of the flower. Voila! Done!
This is what I ended up with:
So cute:
