| Hair Band tutorial |
Materials required - Hairbands : plastic, metal or felt hair bands - the plain plastic ones are super cheap and ideal for your first experiment!
- Foam- thin craft foam is the best but if you only find the thicker one-- that's okay too
- Glue Gun
 |
| Hair Band tutorial |
Cut a thin rectangular piece of foam long enough to wrap around your hairband.Keep its width smaller than the size of your flower so that the foam base is hidden when you stick your flower
 |
| Hair Band tutorial |
Hot glue the foam strip around your hair band.

Apply your flower directly on to this foam strip or for a more secure attachment, stick a circle/ square foam piece atop this foam strip with hot glue. You can use a glue dot also to stick foam to foam but the best adhesive for foam is hot glue!

And if you are wondering why I chose foam rather than felt or any other material to form the base for our Sospeso Trasparente flower- its because when using the hot glue..the plastic and foam melt and fuse to each other giving a very firm adhesion which can survive the many antics a little girl's hair band is bound to be subjected to!
