As the days grow warmer and flowers begin to appear, simple handwork projects can help us welcome the changing season. Made with soft felt flowers and colorful buttons, this crown is inspired by spring gardens and childhood play. Easy and joyful to make together, it’s a lovely way to welcome the season with creativity and togetherness.
Gather Your Supplies:
These are the tools and materials we used to create the Felt Flower Button Headband Crown Tutorial:
- Felt sheets
- Embroidery thread and needle
- Scissors
- Ribbon
- Buttons
Make your Own Felt Flower Button Headband Crown:
Step 1:
First we gather our materials! You will need longer felt for the headband, and felt sheets to cut for the flowers. Have fun picking out colors for your flowers. You will also need ribbon, you can use as many or as few colors as you would like.
Step 2:
Measure your head (or the head of the person you are making it for) and cut out two strips that length in equal size.
Step 3:
Have fun selecting buttons! You will need about 4-7 buttons depending on head size.
Step 4:
Line up your buttons with equal spacing in between each button, and sew them onto one of the felt strips.
Step 5:
Cut 4 long stripes of your ribbon and sew two strips onto one side of the felt strip, and two to the other side of the felt strip.
Step 6:
Take your second strip of felt you cut out in step 2, and align it to the back of the first strip, to cover the back of the sewn buttons and ribbon.
Step 7:
Use a blanket stitch all the way around your headband to seal the two strips together.
Step 8:
Next, it's time to cut your flowers! We made stacked flowers for more fun color combinations. To do this, cut as many 4 petal flowers as you have buttons and as many 5 petal flowers as you have buttons. For our crown, we had 7 buttons, so we had 14 total flowers (7 that had 4 petals and 7 that had 5 petals).
Step 9:
Cut a slit a little over halfway in each flower as shown below (this is how you will slide them onto your buttons.
Step 10:
Your crown is done! Have fun sliding your flowers on your buttons in fun color combinations, and mix it up whenever you want a fresh crown. Use the ribbon to tie the headband securely to your head.
Step 11:
Don't forget to make your favorite doll a matching crown!
