Flower headbands

Hi everybody!


I decided to make some cute headbands for our little princess. For the band I used some stretchy lace ribbon and also some jersey fabric. I crocheted some of the decorative flowers and stitched together some fabric for the others.

I used THIS pattern to make these small pink flowers. After crocheting them I stitched them on the lace ribbon and voilà the headband is ready :))

For this crochet flower I used the instructions from HERE. I should have dip the flower to water and pin it to let it dry, then it would have stretched a bit and would look more clean and structured like the one in the instructions. I don't mind it looking a bit floppy though ;P I attached a button in the middle of the flower and stitched the whole thing to the charcoal jersey.

For these flowers I just ruffled some lace fabric, attached some white buttons and stitched them to the lace ribbon. I think this is my favorite of the four headbands I made :))

And last but not least for this flower I used some linen fabric (the leftovers from the bridesmaid dresses that I made for our wedding), ruffled it a bit, attached a button (again ;P) and stitched it to the lace ribbon. Note that she is currently eating one of the headbands ;P

I just had to include this picture in the post because she looks so adooorably chubby on this picture ;D

I hope you're having a beautiful day!

TWA - Buttons,buttons, buttons...and a little fabric

So for some reason i had an obsession with buttons last year when i was planning our wedding. I had seen some pictures of flower bouquets made of buttons and fabric and got inspired by that. So i decided to make my bridal bouquet, the grooms boutonnieres and hair accessories for me and the flower-girls out of some cute buttons and pieces of fabric. And here are the results...

Hair accessories for me and the flower-girls.



The boutonniere for the groom and groomsmen.

The bridal bouquet.





I enjoyed making all of these accessories and I think it's nice that my bridal bouquet is never going to wither and will decorate our home for the years to come :))

Have an absolutely fantastic day!
