Felt Dahlia Headband

This weekend I finally got to a craft that I'd been planning for awhile: a felt dahlia headband.  I saw these graphic flower headbands and pins when we went to Renegade Craft Fair, but when I saw their prices I quickly decided to try to make my own.  I used the great tutorial here (which is actually for a dahlia brooch, but I modified it for the headband).  

The dahlia wasn't that difficult, just time consuming--especially the gluing of each individual petal.  I started out using Fabri-Tac as recommended, but I switched to hot glue when assembling the flower because the Fabri-Tac just wasn't strong enough to hold the petals in place.  Other than that, the tutorial is perfect.

I'm pretty happy with the results!
