Flower Headband

I have been having such a fun time planning our Celebrate Spring Tea Party. Spring is such a broad theme to work with and all of the stores have lovely pastel items out right now.

To keep the budget down, I trying to keep this party as simple as possible. At first, Emma decided she wanted to give all her friends fairy wands, wings & crowns to wear at the party and take home as favors.

I found wands for $1 each at Michaels, but the tops were stars and I really wanted something with a flower or butterfly. Then, I looked everywhere for fairy wings. I usually find cute ones at the dollar store, but apparently they only carry them around Halloween. I found very cute & reasonable priced ($20 per dozen) wings at Halo Heaven, but they were still more than I wanted to spend for an un-birthday party.

Following the tutorial at Such Pretty Things, I started making hair wreaths.
To save money, I used less flowers and added tulle to the wreath. I think it turned out well, but I also thought they were more suited to the Fairy Party we are planning for Emma's 6th birthday in October (I'm planning early, I know, but Spring is the very best time to find flowery, girly things on sale).

BINGO! I found these adorable flower headbands at Target's Dollar Spot today:

I absolutely love them! We bought pink, yellow & lavender and they are going to look so cute on the girls! I don't think I could have made anything near this cute for a $1 each.

I'm going to finish up the fairy wreaths and put them away until October. Of course, by October I'll probably have thought of something completely different!
