Speaking of fruity, I've seen these headbands around the bloggy world this week. They're by a company called Ban.do and they are far, far, far out of my price range. You know me. I looked at them and said, "I could make something like that!" And I was going out tonight, so I had to make it tonight.
Here's what I ended up with. I'm not going to bother fixing these photos. You'll get the idea.
I'll do it a it a little differently next time. The originals used wire-wrapped ribbon to create a kind of halo-ish crown. I just used a plain ol' headband, but my hair doesn't work well with a headband. So, some sort of wire band it will be.
Cause, oh yeah. There will be a next time.
Chris got home (finally!) from work a little late, so I bounced over to greet him at the door. I said, "Aren't I cute in my giant flower?" And he tried very hard to muster a good response. But he was so distracted by the huge weirdness on my head that he couldn't even look me in the eye while I was talking. His eyeballs kept drifting over to the side of my head. That's when I told him that he should have known I was the kind of girl to wear giant flowers in my hair. He should not have asked for my hand if he wasn't cool with that.

Very cute! Yes, Chris should have known you'd wear big flowers in your hair. So you saved between $130 and $175! I-can't-even-imagine paying that much for that. Wow!
It reminds me of a photo of your grandmother at about - 33. SHe was standing by the magnolia tree with a very large magnolia in her thick long and wavy black hair. She was 5'7" back then and very lean and gorgeous. She wore big flowers a lot....so what do you knwo big flower child...I wore flowers too - but we won;t get into my flower child days. (Your grandmother's were real!)
I love it, even if Chris is weirded out by it! In fact, just last night I was ogling a flower headband myself! I should try making one too!
Too cute - I wish I could have seen Chris's face!!!
I just went to the website - wow - a lot of dough for these - your's look just fine - I like the ones with rhinestones!!!
Kate - you totally have to make one! I'm planning to make a ton of them :) and I want to see what you do with the idea!
Claiborne, You should make them - even paint them. You could sell them too!
Great head band. I don't think I could wear a big flower in my hair...there was a time I would have and maybe I'll get back to that. Because I sort of miss that crazy girl. I love it on you and with the etched mirror and the chandelier in the background you sort of take on this 20's era cuteness.
I think it's good to shock the men-folk now and then. It keeps them on their toes. :) That last paragraph made me laugh.
