My lil sweet sugah bit!
She is just too cute for words!!

So this week, between client proofing galleries, client orders, & session stuff,
I made some more headbands for our newborn sessions we have coming up.
Several ppl on Facebook asked me to share how I did them so I did a lil tutorial.
I know everyone probably makes them all different kinds of ways...
So...
If you make them yourself, I would LOVE for you to share in the comment section how you make headbands for your lil one.
Now, this is my first time really making them...
So if you have some insight to share as well, please do!

So, the headbands I use them on are from Target...by "Goody"... they are soft and thick and have nice stretch.
But here is the lil tutorial.

So there are all my new flowers to attach to the headbands!
The pins are the kind that have a safety clasp that rolls over where the pin is held in place so it will stay shut.

So there you have it!
That is how I made them...
How do you make flower headbands?

  5. Hey Amber! Super cute photos of the wee little one! When you purchase the headbands...are the big on babies since their heads aren't that big? Do you try to sew some extra length out of them?

  6. if you want to reduce and reuse then cut baby tights, they do the same thing. then you can take a piece and wrap around the "band".
    so that you have something to clip the flower to. instead of using pins get the alligator type clip. they can clip to hair or to the hand band.
