Grab your hammers ladies! I originally bought these snaps for use on vinyl bibs but then had a light bulb moment when wanting to make another fabric headband and not having a sewing machine to use. Why not use a snap...then it could even be interchangeable!!!
Here is what I did:
Step One: Order some headband elastic from this awesome Etsy shop:
Deepwater Trading Co.

Step Two: Make some pretty fabric flowers etc to use on your headband.
Step Three: Measure your elastic to your head size. You want it to fig snug however, if making a flapper style headband watch to make sure it doesn't indent your forehead! Not a cute look if you end up taking it off or in my case when Asher rips it off my head and claims it his new teething toy...bad baby!
Step Four: Cut a felt circle to fit the back of your flower and follow snap instructions to attach the top snap side.
(This is where your hammer comes in!)

Step Five: Use hot glue to attach felt circle/snap to the underside of your flower.
Step Six: Follow snap instructions to attach the under side of the snap to your elastic.
(I folded the top side over once to add some weight for the snap.)

Voila! Snap your elastic to your flower and you're in business! Now you can make various flowers and use various colored elastic to mix it up. You can also try gluing the snap to a metal hair clip!
Cool right!?! I'm super excited about this, and can't wait to snap out all my flowers!
