One day I went to JoAnn's Fabrics and Crafts and saw flowers and an idea popped into my head. Why don't we make flower headbands?

I asked my mom if we could buy the materials and she said, "Yes."

My friend Ananda was sleeping over that night and so we decided to make a ton of headbands to sell at a upcoming homeschool bookfair.

Supplies:

1. Headbands: You will need a variety of headbands, mostly found at the dollar store or your supermarket.

2. Flowers: Choose from a dollar store or arts and crafts store artificial flowers.

3. Sequins: You can use any type of sequins, jewels, beads or buttons from a craft store.

4. Scissors

2. Disassemble the flowers, piece by piece. Only use the cloth flower part. You can re-add the leaves and pistons later if you wish. Throw away the stems.

3. Get your headband and place it on a flat surface.

4. Now this is the fun part! You may re-create any type of flower you can imagine. They headband can be fun and creative or simple and elegant.

5. Assemble your entire flower and place in the center the sequin, jewel, bead or button.

6. Add any pistons or leaves, as you wish to make the headband more realistic looking.
7. Now its time for the glue gun. Disassemble the flower pieces. Put a dot of glue onto the headband. Then add your first bottom piece. 8. Push the flower piece into the glue on the headband with a pencil Its very hot. Don't use your fingers!
9. Keep on layering your flower pieces. With each piece add another dot of hot glue.
10. Add last hot glue drop to the center of your flower. Place your jewel in the center and push down with your pencil.
