Little girls have some of the cutest accessories. From hats, to purses, to headbands there is always a way to jazz up a little girl. If your little one really likes wearing headbands, then help her create this adorable birds and butterfly headband. We are excited to share this new project with you, because it features two new items designed by Cathie and Steve.

This crafty duo is at it again, and they have created a line of Mod Melts and Mod Molds. This new line is now available at Michaels, and it gives you a new way to embellish any craft project. This headband makes a great summer accessory for your little girl. It was designed by Kindra Boroff, a talented freelance designer, and make sure you assist your little girl in making this project, as it is a little more of an advanced project. All the supplies you will need are below, and there you will also find the complete instructions. Enjoy!

Instructions

1.    Cross two pieces of the yellow ribbon in the back at one end and adhere with fabric glue. Wrap the headband with the ribbon, crossing the two ribbons. Secure the ribbon in a few places in the back as you wrap the headband. 

2.    Cut five pieces of yellow ribbon 2 ½” long. With a piece of thread, start a running stitch at the top corner on the end of the piece of ribbon. Continue the stitch across one side and up the other end. Pull the ends of the threads together to create a petal and secure with a knot. Repeat the steps for the other petals.

3.    Using a piece of thread stitch the five petals together at the bottom of each petal. Secure the ends of thread together to create a flower. Repeat the steps for the other two yellow ribbon flowers and the two light teal flowers.

4.    Create the butterfly and bird pieces with the Mod Melts and Mod Molds listed. Paint the pieces with Ocean Cruise. 

5.    Paint the bird nest with Wicker White and the eggs with Ocean Cruise.

6.    With a dry stencil brush and Wicker White, rub the edges of the pieces lightly.

7.    Hot glue the pieces to the ribbon flowers and glue to the headband.

It’s summertime and with the kids out of school there is tons of free time. Keep your kids occupied this summer by having them get creative. The summer is prime time to teach your kids how to craft. If you’re not sure what to make with your kids today we want to share a fun idea with you.

Check out these summer entertaining chalkboards. We discovered this project on the blog, Refresh Restyle.
