11 Headband Craft For Kids
11 Headband Craft For Kids
Crafts are an excellent way for kids to express themselves, explore their creativity, and learn new skills.
Headbands are the perfect craft for kids of all ages. They’re easy to make and can be personalized in so many ways.
I’ve compiled my favorite 11 headband crafts here – they’re adorable and can be made using items you probably already have lying around the house!
DIY Headband
What a great way to be creative, learn how to sew, and make something that is practical.
If you want to make a headband for the whole family or for some friends then this is the perfect project.
You can use any type of fabric, ribbon, and thread depending on what you have in your craft cupboard at home. You can also embellish it with buttons, beads, etc which will make it more fun, and personalize it for each person who receives one as a gift!
Floral Headband
Materials needed.
- Floral wire
- Floral tape (optional)
- A headband, the kind that has a piece of elastic in the back.
Paper Flower Headband
Materials.Paper and glue
Any kind of paper can be used. You can use a colored or black and white newspaper, magazine pages, tissue paper, or any other type of decorative paper you have in your craft supplies.
You’ll also need a pair of scissors and an optional ruler if you want to make a straight line.
Bake Flower Crowns
The only things you’ll need are flowers, pastry, and icing.
Your child can choose any flowers that she likes. However, avoid using toxic flowers like lilies or daffodils, especially if you have children with allergies.
Similarly, your child could use any pastry of her choice for this project but it’s best not to use anything too sweet (like chocolate pastries) because they may stain the headband and make it sticky when it dries up.
Finally, you need royal icing or any other kind of edible glue that will dry up into a hard shell when applied on top of cake frosting at room temperature
Flower Garland Crowns
To make a flower garland crown, you’ll need.
- a piece of cardboard (about 6 inches long and 2 inches wide) or heavy poster board
- glue or double-sided tape
- a variety of different colored flowers (we used baby’s breath) with the stems cut to about 4 inches long
To make a flower garland crown for kids, use smaller flowers and thinner pieces of cardboard. You can also use ribbon instead of flowers if you’d like! Just glue the ribbon onto the cardboard and let dry completely before wearing it on your head.
Rose Bud Hair Clips
Take a rose out of the water and let it dry.
Cut up one side of the petals, cutting about halfway through each one. The end result should be a wedge-shaped petal with a flat bottom.
Attach the first set of three or four petals to your hair clip, leaving enough space in between so that you can add more sets later on without compromising their strength (which is why we cut them in half).
If you want to get fancy, you could tie a ribbon around each petal before attaching it; this will give it an extra decorative touch when they’re attached to your headband!
Bunny Ear Crowns
Bunny ears are a fun project that can be adapted for any age group. Kids will enjoy making bunny ears, and adults love wearing them.
These bunny ear crowns are perfect for your Easter celebrations, but they’re also great to make and wear throughout the year!
To begin, gather all your materials: felt in two colors (one for each ear), scissors, glue, or double-sided tape. If you want to add extra personality to your bunny ears, use some craft foam that has been cut out into large circles and glued around the edge of your headband before adding the felt.
For younger kids who may be working on fine motor skills or learning how to tie their shoes independently, we recommend using ribbon instead of elastic cord (cut from an old pair!) or twine from around trees at home as this makes it easier for little ones who aren’t yet ready for shoelaces yet!
Colorful Tulle Headband
Materials needed.
- Tulle and ribbon scraps
- Yarn (optional)
Instructions.
Cut the tulle into strips. You will need a lot, so feel free to use any colors of your choice! If you don’t have enough tulle to do this, try combining different colors together.
The thicker the width you cut it into, the more durable your headband will be. A good rule of thumb is between 1/4″ and 1/2″, depending on how thick or thin your yarn is going to be used later on.”
Metallic Hair Bands
Now that you know the basics, it’s time to get crafty! You will need.
- A hair band or elastic headband (1)
- Gold spray paint (2)
- An old sock or thin cloth (3)
Simply lay the cloth over the elastic headband and use your fingers to pat down any loose areas on top of the fabric. Let dry for at least three minutes before removing so that there are no blotches left behind.
Once dry, add another coat of gold spray paint directly on top of where you just placed your first layer of gold spray paint. Be sure not to let this coat touch anything except what is inside your designated shape—this ensures smooth edges when they’re done drying. Let dry completely before wearing!
Pom-Pom Trimmed Headband
Materials needed.
- 1 inch of cardboard (a cereal box will do)
- Scissors or hole punch
- Headband (1/2 inch wide)
Time to create. 5-10 minutes. Cost: $0-$1. How to wear it. You can wear it over your head or as a hairband underneath your hair! Make it more durable by using fabric glue instead of hot glue when gluing on the pom-poms.
Make it more attractive by adding ribbon or lace around the bottom edge of the cardboard strip before you glue on the pom-poms (this will make sure they don’t get caught in your hair). Make it more comfortable by placing an elastic band under the top layer of paper so that there is no pressure on your forehead when wearing this project!
Felt Flower Headband
This is a great project for kids to make. It’s simple and inexpensive, but the results are beautiful.
You’ll need.
- Felt (you can buy this at craft stores or use scraps from other projects)
- Hot glue gun (you can also use fabric glue)
- Hot glue gun or needle/thread and scissors to cut the felt into shapes
- Needle and thread (or other sewing option if you don’t have needle/thread)
This Is A Fun Craft For Kids
You can make this headband craft for kids or adults, or both!
It’s a fun craft that will teach your little ones all about the importance of being safe, while also giving you a chance to get creative with your own style.
Conclusion
We hope your kids enjoyed this craft! It’s important to remember that no matter what their age, some of the best crafts are ones that let them get creative and learn how to use their hands. The more they can do themselves, the better they feel about being able to make something on their own—whether it’s a headband or something else entirely!
