Tuesday Tutorial: Memorial Day Headband


Do you have any plans for this upcoming Memorial Day? I can't believe that this holiday is here already. Memorial Day does not only mean a three-day weekend for many, but it also signals the beginning of the summer season. Today I wanted to share a Memorial Day inspired project. Red, White and Blue is always in fashion. This headband is a great accessory for this summer’s patriotic picnics and parties. Laura Bray created this headband. Isn't it so cute? This headband  project is a beginner level craft, which will not take long to make, only 30 minutes.
