Hi!  I'm Amie from PINKAPOTAMUS

  a stay at home of three active, amazing little lovies,

 

 married to the man of my dreams {Sigh}!

Here at Pinkapotamus we have lots of fun crafting,

playing with photos,

baking

and cooking!

I also have an etsy shop, also called Pinkapotamus where I sell unique children's decor.  

 

Today I have a super fun upcycled project to share with you!  It's a plastic bottle flower headband!

Want to make one?  Here's how!

Start with your fabric and a plastic bottle (mine is a seltzer bottle cause I'm a bit of a seltzer addict!)

Peel the label off your bottle.

Then Mod Podge some fabric all the way around the bottle.

Make sure you squeeze out all of the bubbles!

Once the fabric is on, glue all on the outside too to seal it onto the bottle.

While your bottle is drying, it's time to start on your headband!  I grabbed an old dress my daughter had outgrown.

I cut three strips of fabric.

Then I sewed the top of the strips together.

Then I braided the strips together and sewed the bottom piece.

Next I added a strip of elastic to the ends to make a complete circle.

Now, grab your bottle and cut the top and bottom off.

Then cut your bottle into petal shapes in three sizes.

Now hot glue it all together to make a sweet flower!

Next take a strip of fabric and glue it onto the headband.

Last glue the flower to the headband and find a willing model to show off your handiwork!

Lots of hugs and a great big THANKS to Charlene for inviting me to join the fun!  I hope you enjoyed this fun tutorial and that you STOP BY and Say "Hi"!

Love,

Pinkapotamus
