Shamrock Headband

Noelle and I made shamrock headbands for her to give to friends. I wore one today to Christian's class.

So easy - as you have seen in my other posts. Quick tip: I started using a glue gun - which really wasn't holding that well so I went back to using Super Glue.

Sports Headbands

I started making some sports headbands. This time instead of using Super Glue I used my glue gun. The results came out the same.

I put a dot of glue (from the glue gun) on the back of a football.

Then I pressed the headband onto the glue dot.

I did this with footballs, basketballs and baseballs. If it was play off time - you could write the play off teams in Sharpie pens on the sports balls.

You can buy cans of all sorts of foam shapes at Michael's. They have cans filled with princess crowns and butterflies etc. This would be a fun birthday party craft. You could make headbands as party favors or the girls could make headbands as a party activity.

Valentine Headbands

Today Noelle and I made Valentine headbands for her to give to friends tomorrow. Yesterday Noelle bought some pink and purple jelly headbands at Walgreens. And I bought some Super Glue and felt hearts at Michael's.

They were super easy to make - we just added a dab of Super Glue to the back of the heart and pressed the headband on the glue.

Headbands like this are all over Etsy. But it is more fun to make your own! Then you can say "I made this for you!"

Although these were super easy to make - we did get some Super Glue on our fingers. Super Glue is really strong! We were able to rid our fingers of the Super Glue with nail polish remover and hot soapy water.

I am going to make some sports themed headbands next week - so keep checking back! However, I have learned a valuable lesson and I am going to wear surgical gloves the next time I work with Super Glue!
