Heart Head Band

Who’s ready to start crafting for Valentine’s Day?! This sweet Heart Head Band uses mini buttons to accent felt hearts. We sewed them to a length of grosgrain ribbon. You can also use an existing head band and glue the hearts on once you’ve attached the buttons.

To begin make a template for the hearts. Draw a heart approximately 1-3/4 inch by 1-7/8 inch on a piece of paper and cut it out. You can also find a heart online and print it out. Place the paper template onto the felt. Trace and cut out six red and six pink felt hearts.

Place two pink hearts on top of each other and pin in place. Sew the two hearts together with the pink thread. Continue with the other pink hearts so you have three finished hearts. Repeat these steps with the red felt hearts.

When you are ready to wear your Heart Head Band, tie the ribbon ends under your hair at the nape of your neck. Alternatively, you could sew a small piece of elastic to the ends of the ribbon. Just measure your head before you cut off the extra length of the ribbon.
