When spring flowers open, try these kids flower crafts. Little girls love to make flower headbands.
Spring Flower Headbands
Choose delicate pastel shades or bold colours for these pretty headbands. Older kids (10-12 years) may be able to do the glueing themselves, but even a 3 year old can make one if you glue the flowers on.
You'll need
Fabric flowers in pastel or bright colours
Craft jewels or pearls, or fancy buttons for decorating
A short piece of decorative braid or ribbon
A piece of white elastic for each child, 2cm wide and about 70cm long (white for pastel shades, black for bright)
Hot glue gun and glue
Scissors, pencil or chalk
What to do:
Wrap the elastic around your child's head in the position she'd normally wear a headband. Overlap the ends by 3cm and mark where to cut. Remove it from your child's head and cut the elastic.
Lay the elastic flat on some newspaper. Show the kids how to arrange the braid on it, then arrange fabric flowers. They could place these along the headband or in a cluster. Leave about 6cm at each end uncovered.
Once they've designed their headbands, lift each flower or jewel in turn, and place a blob of hot glue under it before sticking it down.
Join the ends of the headband by overlapping them 3cm and gluing them together.
You could glue fabric butterflies on too.
How about using glitter flowers, or flowers with jewels in the centre? Felt flowers?
Try making a bracelet in the same way.
