    My girls love their hair accessories! They are "girlie girls" in every sense of the phrase. Glitter, pink, flowers, princesses. My favorite hair accessories are bows. Tiny classic bows. I have no talent, whatsoever, in styling my daughter's hair. I brush it out and put it in a ponytail, pigtails, or a little clip.

    Today I'm sharing a super quick tutorial for DIY felt bow headbands. I even took it up a notch and made glitter bows! You can make a rainbow of colors in a matter of minutes. They are perfect to add to a headband or clip.

    Cut out your felt pieces using the template. Bring the sides to the center and hot glue in place.

    Glue that section to the banner-shaped section.

    Wrap with the small rectangle piece of felt and glue in the back to secure.

    Simple is good. With 4 little ones to get ready and out the door I have to keep our morning routine quick and easy.
