How to Make Your Own Flowered Headband for Infants and Children
Flowered headbands make pretty and safe accessories for babies and young children. Unlike hairclips, headbands will not hurt the delicate scalp of your child. Flowered headbands not only provide an attractive decorative hair dressing, but can be used to differentiate the gender of an infant female whose hair has not grown in. You can add flowers and decorations to headbands that match the dresses of the little girl. Make these headbands easily at home and give your little girl a pretty accessory for every new dress she wears.
