I’ve been seeing this really cool idea for making felt roses on Pinterest for while, so I decided to try it out as a Little Flowers craft. These headbands are simple and cute. You can add a bible verse of “St. Frances De Chantal, Pray for Us” on the ribbon with a fabric marker if you want extra flair. This is also a great activity to teach a girl how to sew, since it uses the most basic sewing stitch, which I learned when I was about 5 or 6.
Here’s what you’ll need:
Rose Headband craft supplies
Plain headbands
Ribbon
Felt
Scissors
Glue
Needle and thread
I suggest using something stronger than craft glue, like hot glue, but it depends on the age level of your group.
To begin, cut a length of ribbon the size of your headband. Then cover one side of the ribbon with glue.

Attach the ribbon to headband, and set aside to dry.

Now, to make the flower, cut out a strip of felt about 1 inch thick.

Then, using a simple rocking stitch, thread through one side of the felt.
Flower Headband Craft
Pull the thread tight while forming the felt into a spiral. You may have to work with it a bit to get it to the right shape.

Now, attach the flower to your headband, and let it dry completely.

Time: 20 minutes
Cost: about $1/headband
Ages: 6+
Conclusion: It was really fun to do, and looks so elegant! Like I mentioned at the beginning, I would have used hot glue instead of craft glue if I had any on hand. The craft glue didn’t work well with the felt, and I had a problem keeping the flower on. Also, if I had fabric markers, I’d like to write the lesson’s bible verse on there as well. Overall, definitely recommended!
