Party Headband

Hi Everyone!

Getting ready for the Fourth of July or a birthday party?  I have the perfect craft for the kids.  It's a fun headband that's super easy to make and fun to wear.

It's made with curling ribbon from Gwen Studios.  It comes in so many colors and it's so fun to curl ribbon.  This ribbon curls right up with the first stroke of the scissors, which is great. (I received these ribbons to use in my designing since I am part of the design team.)

I decided to make a fun headband for my granddaughters to wear for the Fourth of July.  Here's what I used:  red, white and blue curling ribbon, a plastic headband and two glitter stems.  

To start, wrap the glitter stems around a pencil to curl.  Leave about 1 1/2" at the beginning to wrap and glue around the headband.

Cut 12" lengths of ribbon.  I used two of each color.  Line them up and make an overhand knot in the center of all of them.

Curl all the ends.

Wrap and glue the glitter stem around the headband.

Tuck the ribbon knot under the wire end, press the wire together and add a little glue.

These have a lot of movement since they are on a curled wire stem.  The kids will love them.  And, they can help make them, so it's a crafty way to start your party! And, in other colors, what a fun birthday party craft!

For an even quicker craft, add some curled ribbon to the end of a stem.  They wobble back and forth delightfully! It's great for the younger ones!

Happy Fourth of July!
