I went to a Christmas party on Friday night. And, I wanted something festive to wear. I wore a green sweater (because of course my clothing must color-coordinate with the Christmas theme!) and decided to make myself a festive poinsettia headpiece. (Note: I'm obviously not wearing a green sweater in the below picture. You think I had time to make a headband AND photograph it right before the party?)
And yes, I did make it right before the party. Like, the babysitter is arriving and I'm still hot-gluing.
I pretty much made it up as I went, comparing it occasionally to the poinsettia plant my sweet friend gave me for my birthday. I wanted the middle to be authentic (because that's how I roll) and have the tiny yellow flowers that real poinsettias have amongst their red and green leaves. But, I didn't have any yellow beads. So, dear readers, you know what I used? I used a pair of pliers to cut the heads off of some of my sewing pins and then I hot glued them to the flower. Yep. I'm a little nuts. But, hey, they look cute, right? Mission accomplished.

Cute! I love that you used the ends of pins - very creative!
You were featured at my Friday link party! Check it out!
How cute are you? I can't get headbands to look that awesome on me. Something about the shape of my head, I guess.
What a great project. Thank you so much for linking it to Fabulous Friday.
Warmly, Michelle
