Dorothy loves to accessorize, so for her birthday, we are giving her a dress-up box with lots of fun accessories. In addition to sunglasses, bracelets, and necklaces, I made her a set of headbands so that she can be some of her favorite critters.
Once I figured out the templates, these were surprisingly easy to make. I drew out the shape that I wanted, then added a half-inch rectangle to the bottom. I placed the rectangle on the fold of the felt and cut out my shapes. The ears wrap around the headband. I stitched along the headband first, then around the outside of the ears and I hot glued the center part of the ears.
Since her birthday isn't for about two weeks, I enlisted Mr. Bear to model the ears.

| The rabbit ears have a pipe cleaners in them to help them stand up. |

| I wish I had put the mouse ears a little farther apart, but they are still cute. |
 |
| The lion one cracks me up. Roar! It's going to be so cute on her. |
 |
| I had one headband left in my pack and some fake flowers left over from another project, so I broke out the hot glue gun. Not my best work, but something frilly will be fun too. |
