hair flowers
By Moriah on September 1st, 2009
A couple of years ago I made a few hairband-flowers to wear in my hair for special occasions and places like church. They looked like something that an adult would wear and the colors were more grown-up (i.e. no neon cotton-candy pinks).
Max somehow got a hold of my white one and ripped it to shreds. But Madeline’s been wearing the brown one and LOVES having it in her hair.
So I’d been meaning to make some more, just for her, with colors that would better match her clothes. I made them last weekend while my sisters and mom and I watched a movie:
I basically hot-glued a strip of ribbon over another, longer strip that I used to tie the hairband to the flower. And then hot-glued the ribbon ends down once the band was firmly in place.
She thought we should put them all together in a vase of water. Perhaps I should think up a cute vase-like holder for storing them in…
(But without the water.)

Love them! I used to have some a while back….don’t know where they are now. What is the price difference between just buying them and making them I wonder?
That is such a cute idea!! You are crafty, girl!
I’m sure Mollee would love some of those – I can do the hot glue gun (just not the sewing machine).
Very cute! I am LOVING their thick beautiful hair :) My Emmy just has wisps :) We’re sticking with headbands for awhile…
those are super cute!!! my girls would LOVE them!!
So cute!
you should sell them at the christmas market!
Ditto on what Camille says. They are adorable. Now I’ll have to let Shannon’s hair grow out again.:)
Bee-yu-ti-full!
Love, love this idea, Moriah. Will be using it to jazz up some of Julia’s plain-jane pony tail holders. She is so done with her clip and now just wants “ponytails to the side, please.”
