Headbands & Hadleigh

Hear ye, Hear ye! There's a new baby in my life for me to love on! 

A dear friend of mine had her baby last week. They didn't find out what they were having beforehand so we all had our guesses, I never usually get a feeling either way of what the gender is but I had a very strong feeling that it was a boy.  The one time I get a feeling about it and it's WRONG, what the?!  Good thing I didn't have any money on that bet. Ohhh waking up to that text made my heart just about burst.  I immediately got on ordering this personalized blanket and went to get my headband making supplies.  I went into crazy auntie spoiling mode and no one could stop me.  The blanket mentioned above is my new go to for baby gifts. I gave it for the first time almost 2 years ago and it is still in perfect condition.  Sign up for emails and you will frequently get promo codes! 

Back on track, the HEADBANDS...

Here's what I used:

• Needle and thread
• Flowers from the scrapbook section
• Glue gun
• Felt
• Elastic

Steps:

• Measure and cut elastic, I did between 12.5 and 14 inches unstretched so that she has a few to grow into.
• Sew the ends of elastic together
• Cut felt into a circle-about 1 inch should do it

• Glue felt circle to underside of the elastic where the seam from sewing it together is

• Put some glue on top of the felt circle and on the back of the flower, stick them together and voila!

For the pink and blue headbands I simply bought the headbands, clips, and bows separate(all from Michael's) and clipped the bows onto the headbands.  They can be unclipped just as easily if baby girl isn't feelin' the headband look.  Use clips like these to secure the bow to the headband...

I hope you're all having a fabulous week and continue to keep those affected by the horrendous things that took place in Boston yesterday in your prayers.
