Ladybugs and butterflies are all the rage with girls these days. So with spring just around the corner, here’s a fun and easy craft to help us celebrate. These headbands are simply adorable, great for bugs and butterflies party favors or pretend play, take no time to make and are only about $3 each.

Here’s what you’ll need:

• ¾ inch (at least) headband
• ¾ inch ribbon, grosgrain is shown
• pipe cleaner (one for straight antenna and two for curly)
• pom poms
• glue gun

And here’s how you make these super easy headbands:

1. Bend your pipe cleaner in the center and then again about a half inch on both sides so that you have a inch to inch-and-a-half base. Apply the base of your pipe cleaner to the middle of the headband with a strip of hot glue. (TIP: If you want curly antenna, use two pipe cleaners. Curl one end around your finger and bend the ends about ¾ inch to apply to the headband.)
2. Bend the tips of your pipe cleaner outward about a ¼ inch and hot glue on your pom poms.
3. Clip two one inch sections of ribbon to cover the ends of your headband. Apply each piece with a dot of glue on both sides.
4. Apply a dot of glue on the inside of the headband, on top of the ribbon you just placed to cover the ends, and wrap your ribbon around in a straight line to cover any exposed headband. Continue to wrap your headband angling your ribbon with each turn and gluing as you go.
5. When you reach the pipe cleaner, get your ribbon as close to it as possible and then overlap it on the opposite side being careful not to leave exposed headband.
6. Keep going until you’ve covered the entire headband and end your ribbon on the inside.
