Remember my posting about all the baby clothing that I have been upcycling and sewing into whimsical little creatures? (post here) Well that project has created even more scraps of baby clothing so I decided to put those little scraps to use and make some simple little baby headbands.
When I am cutting up baby clothing (or any clothing for that matter) to upcycle I typically toss out the small pieces and strips and the waistband (or anything with elastic). But for this project I actually made use of those small bits and pieces!
Luckily I found that the waistband of Lucy's "too short" pants actually fits perfectly around her head. This may not always be the case so you could simple just use a piece of brand new elastic- like I used in THIS headband project a while back.
Next, I created rolled fabric flowers with my scraps of fabric and Fabric Fusion fabric glue. Since discovering how to make rolled roses a couple of years ago I have put these flowers to use in SO many projects!!
my tutorial on rolled roses- HERE
Last, I sewed a button to the middle.
The result is a SUPER inexpensive (FREE) pretty little headband for baby!

How very cute. What a wonderful use for the waist bands.
Just awesome !!! Wonderful photography. Gorgeous baby !!! :))) cheers !
Aww, what an adorable bundle of joy! Those headbands are so cute, and Lucy looks like an angel! :)
great idea -- you are sooo creative -- lucy is just adorable and a great little model like her mommy -- she is a lucky little girl to have such a creative mommy :0)
your baby girl is a bijoux!<3
Your baby is soooo precious and looks adorable in the headbands! When my children were babies was the happiest times of my life.
Lucy is one of the cutest babies ever! She is so adorable! I like the headbands too. :)
Using the waistbands is genius. I've been saving the clothes my 4-month-old has grown out of to give to my sister-in-law, but I might have to go snag a pair of pants or two for this.
This is such a cute idea and of course she looks adorable in the headbands! Thanks for sharing.
These are adorable! And she is too cute!
hooray for lucy & her creative mom upcycling her clothes, & showcasing her style!
Lucy is so beautiful. Those lips and eys are the kind that you want to smooch all of the time.
Oh, the head bands are cute but, Lucy is simply beautiful.
Lucy is gorgeous and the headbands are super cute but be careful of the buttons. Once babies can get there hands on stuff and stick it in their mouths you don't want any small pieces like buttons coming off.
these are so cute
ohhhh wat a little beauty!!she is soooooooo cute!!!the headbands too.nice idea!
Love the baby headbands. Entirely too cute (and of course so is your daughter!).
Aloha, Kate
I love your model - she looks good in all the headbands... but then she'd look good in anything.
Hugs!
She is ADORABLE! I love seeing your pics of Lucy and hearing your stories. Thank you for sharing with us!
