DIY Flower Headbands
Tired of paying up to $20 for flower headbands? Well don’t stress it, I got you. Keep reading if you want to learn how to make four headbands for less than $20 and in under 20 minutes (yes, it is possible). The things you need to make these cute headbands are:
-
A hot glue gun (I bought one from Michael’s for like $10 bucks)
-
Glue for your glue gun (if you spend more than $3 on this, you’ve been played)
-
Headbands (I bought an entire pack of 10 from Family Dollar for a dollar)
-
Artificial flowers (I bought four types of flowers from Family Dollar for a buck each)
Now time for the fun part, instructions!
First, remove all of the flowers from the artificial branch. They should be single flowers now (like my relationship status #ShoutoutToMyExes) and no longer clustered together.
Second, plug in the glue gun and please make sure there is glue in the gun. Don’t be stupid and forget to put the glue in the glue gun, that’s just being dumb. I honestly don’t know who would do something that stupid (I forgot to put glue in the glue gun #DontJudgeMe). While you’re waiting for the glue to heat up for use, align the flowers the way you want them on your headband.
Third, glue the flowers on the headband. Make sure the glue for each flower is dry before gluing on the next flower.
Lastly, put the flower headbands on and become Beyonce.
This is what the gluing should look like. You can never use too much glue!

Tips!
-
When gluing, make sure you keep in mind the space between the flowers. Don’t just glue flowers on, you don’t want the flowers too close or too far. It is up to your discretion.
-
Avoid having the part of the headband with the flowers on it stretch too much. If you don’t, it could put damage the headband and make it last not as long as it could.
-
Before buying the headbands, try them out on your head. You don’t want to buy it too tight and have no blood going through your head because of your flower headband. So to all my bigheaded readers (shout out to your moms that pushed you out) if you are struggling to find a headband that’s comfortable, you can easily cut two headbands and tie them together. You can cut the length to fit your comfort.
DISCLAIMER: These DIY flower headbands will not make you become Beyonce, that was a joke and unfortunately, that’s impossible.
