I received my mary not martha order last week and was able to make this pretty dang cute flowery headband for Phoebe. I kept the flowers in a bunch and twisted their wire stems around a plastic headband. I clipped off the stems, bent the sharp edges up away from the head and then doused the thing in tacky glue and waited 2 days for it to completely dry. It’s probably not all that secure but for the 2 seconds she’ll actually keep it on her head it works fine. Of course you have to have a lollipop on hand or she won’t cooperate at all. I think I’m inadvertently training her like one would a puppy. I should probably watch that. She’ll go all Veruca Salt on me someday.

And I’m not done yet. Here’s the rest of my order, some stretchy ruffled netting trim and another bunch of velvety flowers.
