Keeping summer around


I came up with a really easy way to make this pretty floral alice band, and thought I would share. (sorry for the weirdly tinted photos but sweden has like five minutes of daylight in the winter time)

You will need:
1. A thin head band
2. Fake flowers
3. 5 minutes


I bought these fake flowers at a regular hobby/art/craft store, I think they're for scrapbooking or something. The "stems" of the flowers should be bendable so that you can tie them around the band.  32 of these (about 1x1 cm) is just about enough.


 Then you just tie the flowers on, you can place the flowers as neat or bushy as you want them, I think it looks better if they're a bit messy.

  2. This is soooo beautiful!! Are the flowers made of paper or fabric? I found some similar ones but they were made of paper. What is the brand name of the flowers you got? Thank you!!:)

    1. They're paper, I've used a couple of different swedish brands that probably aren't sold abroad, but you can use any type of flowers as long as they are bendable and not too fragile, if you do find fabric ones I'm sure that would look even prettier, but paper is cheaper and works just fine :)

  3. I was also going to ask where you got the flowers from but I'm in the US. I'll try and look for something similar at Michael's (craft chain here in N. America). These look so pretty, I especially like the ones where you mixed colours.
