Tools
Materials
- Lia Griffith’s Wool Blend Felt – Rose Quartz, Apricot, Juniper, and Fern
- Wool Blend Felt – Aqua, Grapefruit
- Art Markers – Light Prawn (R22), Pink (RV11), Yellowish Beige (Y23), Bush (BG96)
- Small Plastic Pearl Beads (2 sizes)
- White Seed Beads
- Blue Sequins
- Green Headband
Steps
- Gather the tools and materials listed above.
- Cut out the felt according to the pattern — You can cut out as many pieces as you want, depending on how lush you want your headband to be. Our headband had one of each seashell with two bigger seaweed leaves, five medium and two of the smallest.
- Add details by shading or drawing on the felt pieces using art markers. Pick colors that are a bit darker than the felt for an understated look.
- Glue the cut out felt to the headband starting with the bigger seaweed pieces glued along the headband, then the smaller on top radiating up and out from the center. Glue the bigger seashells clustered on top with the smaller ones on the side.
