HEAD BAND

Stick On Gems: $0.50 from Big Lots (they were actually for bedazzling your cell)
Ribbon: $2 from Walmart
Black stretchy plain head bands: $1 for 3 from Dollar Tree


For the pins we had pictures of my father in law printed out & worked around them. We cut some in circles & left some in the wallet shape form. We hot glued ribbon on back of them in looped patterns than glued card stock over it. We than crazy glued ribbon over the safety pin to hold in place & that was your pin.

For the head bands we made cut out my father in laws picture in a small circle and placed gems individually around it. We made a bow & glued the "bedazzled" picture in the center. We than glued a separate piece of ribbon under the bow & placed it around the head band to hold it in place. This was designed for the younger girls. We also made barrettes for the older girls. Same concept but glued on a barrette! There you have it. Hope it will inspire you to make your own memorial items for your loved ones. It not only personalizes it but it gives it more meaning knowing you made it yourself. Rest in love Dad! We miss you!
