I took all of my crafting stuff with me on vacation, and I was SO glad I did! I had lots of fun making crafts with friends and family and I got some really great ideas. One of my friends mentioned that she had ordered a headband online and when it arrived, she realized it had been made using nylons. Then my sister in law said she had seen the same thing! I had to try it, so when I got home… I did. The nylons I bought weren’t high quality because I mostly wanted to play with the craft and figure it out.
I started by pulling a flower apart:
Then I glued it together with E6000:
I stitched a little pearl bead to the middle:
My daughter painted my nails by the way. They look really good and totally and completely neat (snort).
Once the bead had been stitched on, I did not cut the thread. I left it long so I could stitch the flower to the cheap nylon. Speaking of the cheap nylon, make sure you cut a pretty good-sized piece off. It bunches and rolls up once the flower is put on:

And then stitch it on!
I’m pretty happy with how it turned out! I just need to find a baby to try it on before I start handing them out at baby showers.
I also want to try a few with tiny little crochet flowers attached to them. I made this one, but I don’t like the flower very much. I was experimenting. But to get idea of what it might look like:
