Heart Headband Or Pin Tutorial

Looking for a quick and easy Valentine's day project guaranteed to make your heart skip a beat?

Why not make this heart shaped headband...


That could also be used as a heart pin.


Simply gather the following supplies:  Scraps of chiffon or sheer fabric, double fold elastic {headband material}, a heart cut out of felt, scissors and a hot glue gun.


Cut approximately 30-40 circles, quarter sized, out of sheer fabric.  Fold each circle in half and with a dab of hot glue at the base, pinch it closed.  Place a dab of hot glue onto the felt heart and press your pinched closed sheer circles into it, working your way around the entire heart.


Decide if you'd want your heart to be used as a pin or a headband.


Attach a safety pin, if you prefer it in pin form.


Apply hot glue to the heart and attach it to the elastic, if you prefer it in headband form.


Before you decide what you'll do, make sure that you 'have your heart in the right place'.

    That is absolutely adorable! When I can't decide which way to go, I add both a pin and a hair clip. :)

    So cute! Lucy is a *huge* wearer of headbands so I might need to try that (or something similar--perhaps a shamrock...).

    I LOVE this! You know, it would also look really cute on a wreath. I made a Valentine's yarn wreath, but it's looking too plain. This could be exactly what it needs. Thanks for sharing your crafty ideas Amy! :-)

    What a great tutorial! I have some chiffon that I want to use for a wreath, but worried that it might be able to create flowers...but now, you've given me a fun technique to try out! Thanks.

    Cheers,

      Well, thanks so much Lauren. Hopefully the glue gun goes easy on your fingers, should you attempt to make one yourself :)
