You will need 23 centimeters of satin fabric, hot glue gun, lighter, beads, needle and thread, elastic band, pen and felt.
First you need to cut circles of 6 different sizes. Use things from the kitchen like cups, glasses, etc. Trace with the pen and cut out.
Once the 6 circles are complete, light your lighter and place the fabric over the flame. The satin fabric will not catch fire. Please be careful and be careful not to burn yourself! Repeat with all 6 circles.
Place the circles on top of each other. Start with the largest piece to the smallest. Thread the needle and pass it through all the circles from bottom to top. Repeat and tie a knot. Glue the beads in the center of the flower to hide the seams.
Glue the flower to the elastic where both ends overlap. Cut a piece of felt about smaller than the flower and tape it over the elastic.
You will need a piece of felt, rubber band, hot glue gun and a pen.
Draw 7 equally sized circles on the felt fabric and cut them out. Fold one of the circles in half, add a dab of hot glue and fold again. Do 5 of them. Cover the sixth circle with hot glue and place the folded “flowers” on top – four on the edges of the circle and the fifth piece in the middle. Glue a rubber band between the flower and the seventh circle.

For each of these instructions, you will first need to fold a piece of fabric in half, sew it, and turn it inside out. This would be the base of the hair ties. Compared to the examples shown above, this one uses a piece of Velcro to close the hair accessory.
When finished, tie a knot in the middle. Use decorative stitches and colorful thread to make three stripes on each side of the knot. To close the headband, cut a matching piece of Velcro and sew it on each end.
