When I invested in my Halloween skeleton, Maude, last year, I could tell that she’s not the type of skeleton to be bare bones. Haha, get it? So, I decided to craft her a floral headband. You know, to show off her personality a little more. Annnd for the bright colors to catch the eyes of people passing by. Yes ma’am, that was a skeleton waving at you, not an actual person.
Floral Headband Supplies
elastic band
sheet of felt
silk flowers
hot glue gun + glue
scissors
Make the Actual Headband
Cut the elastic to size. You want it to fit snuggly on the head. Allow for some extra elastic on the ends for where you glue the two ends together.
Could I have done a prettier job? Yes. Does Maude care? No, because she’s dead.
The Floral Portion
Cut the felt into an oval-ish shape.
Arrange the silk flowers how you’d like them, and then glue them into place with the hot glue gun. I glued the smaller orange flower to other flowers so that’s allowed too.
Final Step
Glue the completed flower portion to the elastic band.
If your skeleton is a diva, I recommend gluing the unfortunate-looking end section to the felt so it’s not showing.
Slap the floral headband onto your now fierce skeleton.
Isn’t she a vision?
Now I just have to make a matching floral headband for myself.

Maude looks so fresh. Love her style. Way to go Chelsea. You made a dead person look drop dead gorgeous. I think you deserve some kind of award for that, fo shizzle.
