The premise is very simple, but the fun is endless! (For the crafter that makes the goodies and the recipient!) This headband recipe can be customized for each gift recipient per their favorite color. Concept summary: make a headband with a hook and loop (henceforth referred to by the brand name "Velcro") attachment, make do-dads to attach to the Velcro attachment, & mix and match.
Step 1 is the making of the base, the "blank canvas." Step 2 is the fun part.
Materials list:
For step 1, you will need:
- a plain headband (one for each girl on your Xmas list). Hobby Lobby sells plain headbands for about $2, but you can also find pretty plain ones at grocery stores and drug stores too.
- self-adhesive hook-and-loop (Velcro) rounds (these can be found in a variety of places, but usually in the sewing section of a craft store; I decided to stick with the black ones, but they also make white, and I've seen tan and "clear" as well. Velcro brand ones are good, but I've also used Scotch brand, which seem to stick a bit stronger.)
For step 2, you will need:
(this is highly dependent on your own crafting proclivities, but a few suggestions:)
- scissors
- craft foam
- glue gun
- decorative buttons
- cloth scraps
- feathers
- feather butterflies
- needle and thread
- origami paper
- duct tape
(more details on this step later - basically, anything you need to make all those cute little things that you can find Instructables on how to make, but don't ever know what to do with, then they accidentally get knocked onto the floor and someone steps on them and you throw them away. Except this time, that won't happen!)

Step 1 is super-simple.
Take one of the headbands and one of the "soft" Velcro rounds (the loop part, not the hook part) and stick it on the headband. Feel free to put the headband on and do this part in a mirror in order to get it at a cute angle. (If you plan on doing "kitty ears" later, you'll want 2 of these on the headband at the appropriate angles.)
Note: it really is arbitrary, whether you use the hook or loop Velcro on the do-dads or the headband, but it is important to be consistent.
Now you have something to stick step 2 to....
