trying something new

So, I (especially my Benny) have never been too keen on baby headbands. I just never found any that I liked and weren't too baby-like, so we never bothered to have our girls wear one. 

I figured I have been making hair clips, why not try to turn them into a sort of headband. This is my take on it and there is still some tweaking to be done... 
It still has the dimension that I like from my little Rosy Posies, but now it is headband form...
 
What do you think?

  2. I completely agree with you on the head band thing normally but the materials used (felt vs. lace) make a more sophisticated presentation. It doesn't feel as cutesy or fake. The colors are real and bold. The 3-D nature of the flower helps also I think. Does this go around the head using the cloth covered elastic like your crowns? What is the secret to getting your True to keeping it on? What a beautiful use of the flowers!

    more things to wish for :O)
    i, too, have had a difficult time liking headbands, however there is one seller on etsy who sells adorable ones (but almost always with black bands!)
    this one is so pretty, ruby!
    love, susan

  10. LOVE IT! This is so perfect, because I was actually just about to email you to see if you would make a headband! My little Elise has become obsessed with them all of the sudden, and so I am hoping maybe Santa can bring her some extra special cakies ones!!! Keep me updated!!

  12. I love your headband! My daughter would never leave them on when she was a baby, but they were the lacy kind that my stepmom bought her (and not my style anyways). These are the cutest headbands I have ever seen! Does Brave leave it on?

  17. charissa- the secret to keeping it on is have another one on hand, so when she is grabbing for it, I show her the duplicate and she will think I took it off! haha...

    THANKS EVERYONE! it looks like the headband is a thumbs up... i will try a couple more designs and I want to try making one for me!

    Liberty- Bizarro world indeed!

    xoxo
