Trolls Inspired Headbands


When your daughter's class is doing a Wacky Wednesday, you do whatever it takes to make her look wacky!! Backwards shirt, mismatch pants, skirt over pants, mismatching socks, and of course her headband!! Gianna loves her curls, so she insisted on wearing her hair down. I asked her after bath if she wanted silly pigtails or a crazy hairdo, but when she said she wanted something "MORE WACKY MOMMY!!" I knew what I had to do!. So, I pulled out my craft boxes and got crafting!! I had seen adorable Trolls headbands on Pinterest a few months back, and of course I had all of the supplies, so why not?


I pulled out some tulle, felt, my FABULOUS hot glue gun and got to work!! I let Gianna pick the colors of tulle and felt. I tried using just a hair tie to keep the tulle standing up, but found that it quickly leaned over when she moved. I added the flowers at the corners to keep it from flopping over.

To make this a little more educational, I taught Gianna how to measure. She learned about inch, 1/2 inch and 1/4 inch measurements. She had fun trying to figure out which measurement we were at while I pulled the tulle.  As we made this, we of course sang our Rainbow song, naming the colors of the rainbow. She has already asked to make one that looks like I rainbow!! Tommy has his request in as well... he wants to look like a dinosaur... GOOD LUCK TO ME!
