Make It Monday - Skunk Headband (Skunk Costume Part #1)



This year is my daughter 1st Halloween and I decided to make her costume.  We call her our "Little Stinker" so she is going to be a skunk.  Each week I will be showing a different part of the costume until it is complete.  This week I am going to show how I made the headband.

Here is what you will need:

 1 - Pre-made Black & White feather pad
1- Black headband
1 - Black piece of felt cut into a teardrop shape
1 - Pink Feather embellishment
1 - Hot glue gun

Here are the instructions on how to make this simple fabulous headband:


 1.  Flip over the feather pad and have your hot glue gun preheated and ready to go.  


 2.  Place a little drop of hot glue at the tip of the feather pad.  Place your headband on top of the glue.  Run a strip of hot glue straight down the middle of the feather pad and glue the rest of the headband to the pad.


 3.  Place hot glue all over the rest of the black pad.  Place the piece of felt that we cut into a teardrop shape onto of the feather pad.  This will hide the glue and the headband making it look nice and neat.


This is what you should see from under the headband.


To add a little bit of color and bling to the headband...I got this hot pink embellishment.



4.  Place hot glue on the back of the embellishment and place on top of the black & white feathers.  

5.  Let dry.


Finished project on my daughter!  So cute!
