DIY Patriotic Headband with Mini Hat

For me, summer is such a fun time of year to create!  I love making clothes for girls to wear at the parades we attend. This week my daughter and I made a fun Patriotic Headband this week for a fun event she has at school (year-round school).

I am all about accessories and luckily my little princess is, too; so with some inspiration from these hats, I made some DIY Patriotic Headbands adorned with bright and glittery embellishments.

Supply List:

  • White Glitter Paper
  • Blue Glitter Tape
  • Star Embellishment
  • Adhesive
  • Silver curly ribbon
  • Headband
  • Stapler
  • Craft Knife

DIY 4th of July HeadbandStep #1: Create a cylinder using a 3” x 8” strip of the corrugated glitter white cardstock. Staple into place.Mini Hat tutorialStep #2: In order for the cylinder to hold its shape I cut the bottom of a plastic cup and slid it down inside.  This also made it simple to glue the top onto the hat.

Step #4 & #5:  Using the adhesive, tape two strips of cardstock on the bottom of the base and slide through two slits opposite each other.  Apply tape on the outside of the strips that are now on the top of the base.  You will glue these strips to the inside of the cylinder to create the hat.
