Braided Fabric Scrap/Fabric Rose Headband Tutorial

BRAIDED SCRAP FABRIC/FABRIC ROSE HEADBAND TUTORIAL

WHAT YOU NEED:

1-1inch wide strip of fabric

(its your choice on the length, the longer the strip the bigger the rose)

6-1/2inch wide x 20in long fabric strips

5 inch Elastic

Fabric glue / Glue Gun

Rhinestones

WHAT YOU NEED TO DO:

After you have cut all your strips, you need to lay them in sections of 2

Then Stack the together like so:

Now you will sew the ends together

it makes braiding much easier!

Now you will section them into 2's again and start braiding the fabric strips

Now you will sew the end up and trim the edges

 And measure it on your childs head to make sure you dont need to trim it.

Now all you have to do is sew on the elastic

And now for the Fabric Rose

 You will take your 1inch strip and fold the end in half and glue it

Now you will hold it something like this, and roll it twisting the your strip back in forth

Once you have finished, glue down the edge

and your all done with the fabric rose:

Now you can add your Rhinestones

and add your rose or roses to your headband

Put glue on the back of the rose and press it to the headband

and here is the finished product

I think these look best with two or more fabric roses in coordinating fabrics,laces,ribbons...and some much more....
