Folded Fabric Rose Headbands

This morning, while the kids were eating breakfast {and lunch} I made some folded fabric roses for my girls’ hair.  I started out making them for baby 3’s newborn pictures, but they are kind of contagious.

Then, since Norah likes to wear “hair bows” so much, I thought maybe I’d make her one too, she doesn’t have much red, so it seemed like a good choice:

She was pretty excited to get to wear it too.

She really loves having her picture taken {even if she doesn’t often stand still long enough to get a good one!}. Here she is saying “cheese”.

And, because all sisters need a few matching outfits or accessories, I made these two, and I think I’ll put them on some headbands.  I used foldover elastic for my test headband for Baby Stella and am thinking it might be a good idea for little girls too.

There are lots of tutorials out there to make flowers like these, I make mine like this and this {and I have a tutorial to make one out of cuddle fabric here}, but I seriously want to try these really tight ones, maybe next!
