Easy-to-Make Fairy Princess Headbands

Use an assortment of flowers to create an eye-catching headband.

A fairy princess costume isn't complete until it's topped with a crown. Put the finishing touches on a fairy princess costume by creating your own headpiece. While you can purchase a headpiece for this costume, creating your own enables you to personalize the accessory, make it a one-of-a-kind element. A basic headband, silk flowers and hot glue are the basic materials you need to create your fairy princess crown.

Things You'll Need

• Silk flowers
• Wire cutters
• Hot glue
• Plastic headband
• Spray adhesive (optional)
• Glitter (optional)
• Faux gemstones (optional)

Instructions

1. Select a type of silk flower for your headband. Choose 10 to 12 flowers that are no bigger than 2 inches in diameter. Opt for flowers that match in type and color, or select an assortment of types and colors.

2. Clip the blooms off the stems with a pair of wire cutters.

3. Place a dollop of hot glue on the back of a flower. Press the flower onto the center of a plastic horseshoe-shaped headband.

4. Continue putting hot glue on the back of flowers and pressing them onto the headband to the left or right of the central flower, working in an outward fashion toward the edges of the headband. Cover the headband entirely or leave the portions that sit right behind the ears unadorned.

Tips & Warnings

• Add further decorative embellishments, if you'd like. Apply spray adhesive over the flowers and sprinkle glitter onto the glue while it is still wet or hot glue small faux gemstones onto the petals of the flowers.
