Material :
Thin plastic headbands
Chenille wire
Felt matching the flowers
A spool of jute twine
A hot glue gun
A pair of scissors
Dried or fabric flowers according to your wishes
Steps
Wrap the jute twine around a strand of chenille wire about 30 cm long. Leave 2 cm of chenille wire uncovered at the ends. Go back and forth if necessary to cover the color of the chenille wire well. Block everything with a dot of hot glue. Do the same to prepare the second ear.
Form the ears of the animal of your choice: cat, rabbit, mouse, deer... and make a small swirl with the chenille wire around the headband to hold on the headband. If necessary, glue with a dot of hot glue.
Also wrap some jute twine around the headband until you reach the ears. Put a dot of hot glue at the start and end of the twine to hold it in place.
Cut out a strip of felt of approximately 15x4cm, fold it over the headband under the 2 ears already positioned.
Choose a beautiful harmony of dried flowers and glue them onto the felt base until everything is covered. For a pretty finish, consider gluing a few flowers onto the back of the headband.
