DIY || Floral Headbands

I have seen these on all the fashion things i follow on YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and Instagram but i haven't been able to find any in any shops. I saw one in Top Shop for £12 but when I looked at it thought, you could easily make it and only spend around £3/4. I have made two different ones and will explain how to make both.
What you will need:
  • An old plain headband (If you don't have one you can get these anywhere i got the one i used for £1 in Wilkinson) 
  • Flowers of your choice they can be any size or colour. I chose to use slightly bigger flowers. ( I brought Purple and white flowers in a small bunch for £1.50 each in Wilkinsons and just cut the flowers off.OR you can get some flowers in a craft shop.)
  • Hot glue gun if you don't have one of these use Super glue.
How to: 
1.If you buy the bunches of flowers and cut them them right up-to the bottom of the flower but so there is still a very small point.
2. Before you stick anything on to the headband measure where you want the flowers to come up to. You don't want going all they way around behind you ear other wise it wont go on properly.
3. The simple and easy step glue them on and then leave to dry.
What you will need:
  • Elastic (If you cant find any Elastic you could use a headband like before)
  • Flowers of your choice they can be any size or colour. I chose to use smaller flowers this time. I found these two bags of white and purple in a craft shop for 99p each.
  • I used a hot glue gun if you don't have one of these use Superglue.
1.Measure around your head how much of the elastic you are going to need cut it so it overlaps a bit to stick the two ends together.
2. Glue the two ends very slightly overlapping each other but make sure its not to much and still fits.
3. Glue on the flowers however you want, I did mine closer together because i thought they looked better that way because of how small they were. You can do it further apart, However you want.

Please tell me which of these you try to make and how they turned out i would be interested.
