| Today I will share the hair piece I made for the Project run and Play challenge (week 2) I wanted to make a hair piece that would not only bring a bit of whimsy to the overall look, but that also make an impact in pictures. I made a thick band that would look almost like a hat when she wears it on her head, and since my little one is going through a “I hate wearing things on my head” phase in her life, I made it so it could also easily clip on to her pants for the look of a cool faux belt. It gives her options and what girl doesn’t like options? As a bonus it was really easy to make. |
 |
| To start I gathered some feathers up and glued them on to a felt circle. A few small dabs of hot glue did the trick. |
 |
| Then I made some rosettes by cutting out a circle of felt. |
 |
| cutting the circle in a spiral cut |
 |
| Then starting in the center you roll the strip. Place a dab of hot glue on the flap at the end and it will hold it all in place. |
 |
| Then I glued the rosette on top of the feathers. |
 |
| I added a few more rosettes, and some berries I cut off a decorative garland, and a few glittery blue leafs I picked up as a after christmas sale. You can just play around with different objects rearranging them until you like what you have and then glue it all in place. |
 |
| Next I cut out two ovals. I just held them up to my daughters head until I was happy with the size and shape. |
 |
| Then I took some embroidery floss and sewed it on both ends to create little loops (think belt loop) |
 |
| Then I took some bias tape and sandwiched it around the two ovals and sewed around the edge. Glue the flower piece to the band and you are done. |
 |
| Slip some hair clips through the loops on the back of the band and it clips right into the hair. |
 |
| Or perhaps on the front of some button trousers… Pants will come next
