how to make fabric flower headbands

DIY.  SAVE MONEY.

Awhile back, I made a stylish necklace out of a t-shirt and felt by making pom pom flowers out of the t-shirt.  I got a lot of compliments and thought I would show you how to use that same process to make adorable headbands.  I am loving them on Emden!
