Day 5: A Flower Ring - a diy girls' ring tutorial

Okay – I know I said the button hair bands were easy, but this one is even easier. I mean really easy. I love it though. This one is all about the button you use. Cute ones can be found so many places these days. I sometimes take buttons from Allie’s old clothes – always keeping my eyes out for treasures. She has these beautiful crystal ones on a yellow sweater that she is just getting too big for. The sweater is so well-loved (read stained everywhere) that I won’t even feel bad pilfering the buttons. This ring uses part of a hair elastic for the ring part–simple. The elastic makes it easy to fit, too.

Cut a piece of the elastic headband to fit your child’s finger. Use an existing ring or ye olde yarn around the finger trick to get a measurement. My daughters’ elastic piece was 2 1/4". Make sure its big enough to not cut off circulation (i.e. it shouldn’t need to be stretched a lot to be put on).

Tie it off underneath.
