I pressed a 1 1/2 by 12 inch strip of fabric into one-inch pleats, then sewed down the middle. I hot glued my pleated ruffle to a piece of felt. I glued my elastic headband to the felt, then covered the headband with another piece of felt. I used a few buttons from my stash to embellish, and it was done!
It's a fun, cute headband you can make to match any outfit!
Linking up to some of my favorite parties- join in the fun!

I love the pleats and the buttons together, so cute! Great idea to use of fabric scraps too.

Love your pleated headband. This is a simple version I might wear. I don't do puffy flowers- I'm too old, lol!
