<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Hello there!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Surprise, surprise, I've taken on yet another crafty hobby, I'm making <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/Alibl" target="_blank">headbands</a> now. It started as a way of saving money on my little girl's accesories (because, yeah, I had another, and it's a girl. One year old girl, actually), but it soon evolved into my latest obsession.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Anyhoo, I bring you this tutorial to take you regular store bought die cut felt flower to the next level by turning it into a rolled flower and then a headband if you'd like. Here we go:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1.- Cut your flowers going inwards from one of the edges of a petal:</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPbYLu-Qpm5ZaMwHGlD6uFarp5MmxKGiIk-ZWnpXXeIzTDRHY7W4dC5ONJhypqFjGyTalbqXFjc1Yjyz7WkMeKXXzZyASEPFb1ckVnU7_jBJxaVsnTswc0f_WwQI6fw8RW2D5Avv0CL-jM/s1600/DSC04086.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPbYLu-Qpm5ZaMwHGlD6uFarp5MmxKGiIk-ZWnpXXeIzTDRHY7W4dC5ONJhypqFjGyTalbqXFjc1Yjyz7WkMeKXXzZyASEPFb1ckVnU7_jBJxaVsnTswc0f_WwQI6fw8RW2D5Avv0CL-jM/s400/DSC04086.JPG" width="400" /> </a></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">2.- Continue cutting on a circular motion to the center of the flower:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghScKQJ-r68epg2fOqQS4_22PBVEpLy280X_f86bN0FHLbAVjisg7V9qTrjT3myuZDk5DiQAkTGW3ESLihv6CfO50EXy-BN0CByh8VWlT__sXmUc_Sych19re4s04eWPB0NHu2p5PqaLlG/s1600/DSC04087.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghScKQJ-r68epg2fOqQS4_22PBVEpLy280X_f86bN0FHLbAVjisg7V9qTrjT3myuZDk5DiQAkTGW3ESLihv6CfO50EXy-BN0CByh8VWlT__sXmUc_Sych19re4s04eWPB0NHu2p5PqaLlG/s400/DSC04087.JPG" width="400" /></a></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> I find this works better when I don´t cut it too narrow. The narrower the cut, the "tighter", hence smaller, your final flower will be.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">You'll end up with a wavy strip, like this.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">3.- This is the fun part. Start rolling your felt strip, starting from the center (last part cut):</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">4.- You can glue as you go or wait until the end, wich I prefer as you can pull and re-roll and arrange as needed until you have the shape you want.</span> </div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now for the ribbon leaves</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1.- fold your ribbon in half. I suggest a heavy grossgrain ribbon. I used polka dots because I feel it adds a a little whimsy to your otherwise plain colored flowers.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">2.- Using very sharp scissors cut a half leaf shape starting and ending on the folded size. Burn the edges to avoid fraying and to make it look neater..</span><br />

You might have noticed that stickers don't come with a "ñ", which is only normal given that there is not such a letter in the english language. Still quite inconvenient if you are trying to spell "niño" or "caña" (not that I have used that word on a LO)</p><p>So, what do you do? you use a regular N and make the wiggly top out of two commas.
