Make some for your baby or little girl, or give some as thrifty gifts!

This fun project idea for How To Make Cute Flower Headbands for Babies and Little Girls comes from my friend Joli!

Here’s what you’ll need to get started…

Supplies Needed to Make Flower Headbands for Babies

You’ll just need a few simple things to make the CUTEST headbands for babies!

Check your craft supplies, or add the following to your shopping list to make sure you’ve got everything on hand…

Supplies Needed to Make Flower Headbands for Babies

  • Stretchy, Soft Headbands (I got mine Free at Kohl’s with a coupon!)
  • Silk Flowers (I paid around $1.00 for each flower bunch at Michael’s)
  • Hair Clips (I found mine at Sally Beauty ~ ‘Salon Care Metal Clips’) I bought a box of 100 for $5.39, so they worked out to just 5 cents each!!
  • Jewels or Buttons (can be found at any craft store)
  • Hot Glue G*n

How to Make Flower Headband for Baby Girl

Here’s what you’ll do…

1. First we’ll start by making a hair clip, just like when we made the Cute Hair Clips for Babies and Little Girls!

2. Depending on the size of your clip, measure out the amount of ribbon you’ll need to cover both the inside and outside of the clip. For the clips I used, I needed just under 7 inches.

3. Now, go grab your glue g*n, and let’s get started!

4. I use the hot setting on my glue g*n.  The lower temperature glue won’t work well, so make sure it’s hot… but no burning fingers, okay?? 😉

Tutorial for How To Make Cute Flower Headbands for Babies and Little Girls

5. Begin by gluing the ribbon to the lower inside portion of the clip. Pinch the clip open while gluing, and be careful to keep the ribbon straight!

6. Then, add some more glue to the back of the ribbon, and wrap it around to the bottom side of the clip. Make a nice crease at the point of the clip.

7. Add some hot glue on the inside of the clasp, and glue ribbon.

8. Then, add hot glue to the remaining amount of ribbon.

9. Pinch clasp, and wrap all the way around and under. Again, make a nice crease at the point.

You did it ~ now you’ve got a super-cute clip!

I told you this was going to be easy!!

Now… on to the flower…

10. First, remove flower from stem, then remove all plastic parts from the front, back, and check between the petals, too.

11. Now, add a smidge or little circle of hot glue in between each layer of petals, to glue the layers of flower petals together.

12. Once the glue has dried, glue on a pretty jewel or button to the center. Sooooo cute!

13. Now, go grab your clip, and add some hot glue onto the top of the clip.

14. Then, attach the bottom of the flower to the glue on the top of the clip. Cuteness!

15. Now… you can use this as a fun Flower Hair Clip just as it is… like these Christmas Hair Clips and Valentine’s Day Hair Clips!

Or… after the glue has dried, simply attach the clip to the headband of your choice.

I attach them near the seam of the headband, to hide it. 😉

Good job… you did it! Wasn’t that easy??

16. Have fun experimenting with different colors, layering flower petal colors, and jazzing them up with pretty jewels or buttons.

You can also vary the size of the flowers!

And… don’t forget ~ these are interchangeable, so you can attach different flowers to different headbands!

This is definitely a quick project, and these make great thrifty New Mom Gifts, too!

How Much Did it Cost?

  • Hair Clips (Box of 100 for $5.39 at Sally Beauty Supply) = 5 cents each!
  • Flowers  ($1.00 per bunch at Michael’s)
  • Jewels ($2.99 for pack of 55 at Michael’s)
  • Headbands (I got these Free at Kohl’s with a coupon)!  Regular Price: 6-pk. for $6
  • Total Cost per headband: About $1.10 ~ $2.10 each!!

      OMG the clip is just genius!! covering the clip with ribbon is just what I was looking for. and then it doesn’t matter what the band is made of cause you can change the bow or flower!!! I love it.

      Definitely imagine that that you said. Your favorite reason seemed to be at the internet the simplest factor to take into accout of. I say to you, I certainly get annoyed at the same time as other people think about issues that they plainly do not realize about. You controlled to hit the nail upon the highest and outlined out the whole thing with no need side effect , other folks could take a signal. Will likely be back to get more. Thank you

      To help keep the glue bulk down to a minimum . I used paper brads (the brass ones) on the center and then glues my jewels to the top of the brad. I have lots of girls (6) so my time was limited and could make several flower bows in seconds. Thank you for sharing!

      I love these and have always wanted to make them so I was super excited when I found this but one question I have is how wide is the ribbon or does it matter? I picked up a few different sizes but I’m so particular I just want to make sure I get it right! 🙂 and thank you!

        Hi Lindsey ~ I use 3/8″ ribbon for the clip, but you can also experiment with different widths! 3/8″ is my favorite… but 5/8″ should work, too! Have fun making your hair bows! 😉

      I love making these! Just wanted to say that I’ve discovered some of my flowers get really floppy and lose their shape over time if I take out all the plastic parts between the petals. If I leave the plastic parts in (and still glue between each layer, they seem to maintain their shape for a lot longer!

        I have read to use spray starch on finished bows so maybe that would work for the flowers too.

      Excited to find your hair clip instructions. Our daughter wore a beautiful flower clip to her Father~Daughter Dance and has been asking for more since then. This is an economical way to make a big variety for her, and still have others to add to the top of girlfriend’s gifts, and/or to help raise money for PTAs or other cause. THANK YOU so much for sharing!

      My daughter just made a new version of these adorable bows at a sleep over. If you swap out the center jewel for a magnet, you can put other fun magnets on top of the existing magnet. Many of her friends have used bottle caps that have been decopauged with fun paper, fabic, or jewels. Also, Justice also has magnets that can be used as decorations on top of the center magnet. Happy Bow Making!!!

      These look so easy! My 5 yr. old wears a headband every day (even to bed!) I’ve been trying to think of a way to make something with flowers on a headband or clip, and this helps a lot! I also like the ribbon hair clips to put on a headband! Thanks!

      These headbands would really be cute on a summer hat, I was thinking of embellishing my hat, but did not want to limit what I could wear it with… removable bands… that would work

        Hi Kelsey ~ hmm… make sure to use the ‘hot’ setting on your glue g*n. Once it dries, it should be firm and secure. Hope that helps! 😉
