Petaloo and Graphic 45 Blog Hop

Today I have a special treat for you-we are at XYRON teamed up with Petallo and Graphic45 for an AWESOME blog hop.

Petaloo has these GORGEOUS  paper blooms that immediately gave me an idea of what I want to do for this hop...
For Petaloo,I'm gonna show you how you can easily make a stunning   Blossoming Headband with very little ingredients but one that will upgrade your outfit and take it to another level

With Graphic45 ,I decided to go for Pinspired  home decor and show you how to make this cool 3D Paper Star that can also serve as a light fixture 

BUT ,lets begin with the Blossoming Headband :)
To make one you'll need -

  • a Headband base (I had a skinny doubled metal headband )
  • Petaloo Darjeeling - Dahlias x 10 Sm. - Seaside (SKU: 1467-405UPC Code: UPC: 751036475721) /Darjeeling Daisies x 4 Lg. Seaside (ITEM: 1469-405 UPC Code: UPC: 751036475899)
  • Crochet Lace Fancy Trim 2.25 yds Blues ( ITEM: 1482-103)
  • XYRON 1.5" create-a-sticker
  • XYRON 3/16" High Take glue dots
  • A small piece of felt in coordinating colour 
  • Thread and needle


 Begin by measuring the crochet lace trim-it should be slightly larger than your headband so the edges can overlap a little bit
 Stick your trim/s to your 1.5" XYRON sticker maker to apply a back to back adhesive on them

 Adhere the trim to your headband
 Overlap trim edges to make a nice all around crochet headband
 Nice already isn't it :)
 Now cut your piece of felt to an egg-like shape-this will be the base to your corsage
 Apply XYRON high tack glue dots to the back of each bloom

 Voila -you already have a stunning cluster 
 Now sew the  corsage base to the headband  with a quick stitch and your done

ENJOY!
