DIY #3: ribbon rose headband

This has been an on-off project of mine for a couple of months now. turning this:


Into these:

To make this:

I'm pretty chuffed with it. It has been hard work, it took a couple of goes until I felt the roses looked good enough, and working on things that small tends to give my fingers cramp, but I'm glad I persevered. and you know how much that has cost? about £8.

The only thing I would say is that it is slightly one side heavy, so I feel like its going to droop off my head, but I don't think it actually will! I'm reserving to go out and buy something different until I've had my hair trial, I want to see what its like in my hair once it has some volume to it.

I'm going to make my next post a 'how to' on these roses, I hope you don't mind, I'm kind of gagging to write a how to, and I found it hard to find a good tutorial on these things online, I had to adapt the best one I found to get these, so I thought I'd show you what I did.
