Spring is already here, summer is
close and I am enjoying my 5-day Easter vacation. I can’t wait for summer
vacation to start but before that, I still have one month and a half before the
semester is over. So, meanwhile, I am trying to fulfill my desire of flowers,
beach, sun, fun, and travel with a few easy DIY ideas, before the “real deal”
is here.
My first DIY is a floral
headband. I actually came up with this idea when I was searching for a button
to replace one that I had lost. So I started digging in my mom’s sewing box,
and to my surprise, I found some really interesting things: Margaret flowers, a
white piece of ribbon, and double sided tape. So the idea of a flower headband
immediately came to my mind and I thought to myself, “why not!”
So I took the ribbon and wrapped
it around my head to get the length needed ( I kept a little more than needed
just in case I needed to shorten the ribbon). Then, using a small pair of
scissors (you can use nail scissors for example) I made small holes in the
middle of the ribbon and I tried to make them equally separated. Then I got
some white glue and put some of it on the receptacle of the flower (the part
that joins between the upper and lower parts of the flower) and then I pressed.
After I had glued all the flowers, I cut a small piece of double sided tape and
I linked the two ends of the ribbon.
After a few hours, the headband
was dry and ready to wear!! I paired it with a pink neon dress and some flowery
flats for a spring-afternoon out!
