Heart Felt Headbands- A Valentines Gift
February 8, 2010 2:56 pmThis year for Valentines Day I wanted to do something for Isabel’s classmates that they could actually use, but that wouldn’t take much time or money. There are only 12 kids in her class, 3 girls and 9 boys! So I decided to do “heart-felt” (get it?) headbands for the girls. They are easy enough to do for a big class, too.
Start out by cutting some heart shaped felt.
Here are some of the colors I chose.
Get a strip of felt, about 1.5×3.
Begin glueing your hearts on the strip of felt.
You can layer them however you like.
Here’s how mine came out.
I did these three color palettes.
Now, hot glue the strip in to the headband. (Got a 5 pack at the dollar tree!)
And you’re pretty much all done!
Aren’t they lovely?!
They even look cute on a little baldy!
I just added a little tag with the girls’ initial and you’re all set!
Easy, cheap, fast and fun! And it doesn’t include a sugar rush!!
Stay tuned for the boys felt Valentine’s tutorial coming soon!!

They are adorable. I have a little baldy of my own and I’m sick of people saying ‘isn’t he cute’ – despite her being in pink!!! I will have to make some of these. Thanks
BTW, did you make anything for the boys?

I saw this this morning and whipped one up for my daughter right before school! She loved it and the girls in her preschool class were all talking about it. Thank you for sharing!

These are so sweet! If you are ever interested, I started a new carnival called Make it, Wear it and all your stuff would be perfect to link! I host it on Thursdays.

My sister sent me this blog post as a cute idea for a Valentine craft for my daughter’s class. I loved it and went straightway to the local craftery
to get started. There are 16 girls in my daughter’s class and 5 girl cousins that we couldn’t leave out!! So, my daughter cut the felt strips, I cut out hearts (120 of them!) and the two of us glued them on together. It was very fun and something that she felt happy to help out with. I’m really addicted to the felt shapes on headbands now and am mostly just disappointed that my dollar store had such a lame selection!! Thanks for posting this!
