 Since last summer  I have wanted to make my own daisy headband. This summer I set out to do just that with a little  inspiration from a couple blogs and YouTube. This is very simple to make , good durability and cost effective.
 
Why not give it a go , what have you got to lose ?
 

What You Will Need :
A couple fake daisies which the ones I am using are bought from eBay ,as I was unable to find any in a hardware store ; if your are able to find them then that's great.
scissors
stapler
tape measure (optional 2mm is the length I opted for)
glue gun (any glue gun is fine )
elastic
 
Step 1 : Measure the circumference of your head with a tape measure , then once you have the correct measurement match it in line with the elastic, mine was exactly 21 inches.
 
                                                                        
Step 2 : cut the elastic at the measurement which fits your head .
 
Step 3 : Staple the two ends together which is quite tricky to do , alternatively sew by hand the two ends ;which is what I ended up doing as it really secured the headband together nicely.
 
Step 4 : Trim each of the stems of however many daisies you would like to use .then fill with the glue .
 
Step 5 : Place the daisy in the centre of the elastic and press firmly , I used 6 daisies as that was what I liked the look of feel free to use as many daisies as you like.
 
 
The finished head band , modelled by my sister .
So simple to make , lots of fun as I only choose projects that have a fun factor as part of the deal and this meets all the criteria from above.
 
Hope you give it a try , let this summer be a wonderful , fun filled adventure.
