Comic Book Headband

"I don't see a need to retire, as long as I am having fun." -Stan Lee

Happy Free Comic Book Day (a day late)!!!  This is what I am wore to celebrate the occasion.



Materials:

  • Comic Book Printed Material
  • Sew Machine with Thread to match your fabric
  • Felt (color of choice for leaves)
  • Fabric (color of choice for flower)
  • Hot Glue Gun
  • Velcro
  • Scissors for fabric and scissors for felt
Directions:
  1. Cut the fabric to enough to fit your head plus a little extra room.  Cut width to about 3 inches.
  2. Sew a hem around the entire outside of the headband.
  3. Cut a piece of velcro ad sew to opposing ends and sides of the headband.
  4. Cut out two leaves from felt. Sew onto off center of the headband.
  5. Cut out a circle from felt.
  6. Cut out a long strip of fabric about a 1/4 of an inch in width.  Fray on entire side.
  7. Starting on the outside of the felt circle, glue the not frayed side of the fabric down working towards the center to get the flower shape. Cut off any excess fabric at the end.
  8. Glue the flower down onto the center of the leaves.
Here is a spring headband done using the same concept, only the ends are longer to tie in the back instead of using velcro.




As Stan Lee would say, " 'Nuff Said".
