Fawn Deer Headband DIY

Here I will show how to make cute fawn deer headband. I made this for my daughter’s school Halloween party. I used felt and chenille stems for this headband. I bought 20 pc of metal headband from Amazon cost around $7.99. Let's get started.

 

Materials:

1)Felt

2)Chenille Stems

3)Metal headband

4)Hot glue


Step 1:
First, download the felt pattern, if you like. Because it has drawn by hand so it’s not so perfect. And then cut the felt using that pattern.
Step 2: Making Ear and Horn:
First, take both ears and stick it to the headband, and then stick the small ears felt cut. For, making horn use 2 chenille stems attach with the headband and twist it as shown in the video to make it look like a deer horn.I used little glue so it can stick properly
Step 3: Flowers:
In that pattern, you can find 4 different type of flowers pattern, and you can see I mention 01,02,03and 04 flowers pattern, cut your Felt like shown in the pattern. Flower 01 is easy, take 2 pieces and stick together and take another 1/2inch by 3.5inch strap and roll it and stick to the flower’s middle. Flower 01 and flower 02 is the same process. Flower 03, start rolling from the end of the circle, roll it till the end and stick back with glue. Flower 04 is same as 03.
Step 4: Finishing:

Now we need to stick all the flowers and leaves to the headband with glue and all the flowers backside need to secure with glue and small cut pieces of Felt. So it won’t fell off from the headband. Now you are done.

I made this cute felt mermaid doll. In this tutorial, I will show you how, easy one by one steps.
I made this doll’s pattern also if you like, you can download from my blog

I will try to show you dolls body, makeup, dress, hair all this thing in one video.
So, let’s get started. Here is the list, what material you need for this project.
Materials:
1) Felts
2) Polyfill
3) Needle and thread
4) Wool
5) Black fabric paint
6) Hot glue
7) Pink blush or lipstick (for doll's makeup)
Doll's Body Parts:
First, I draw the doll patterns and I scan them too for uploading. Then using my pattern, I cut my felt as doll's body shape.2 head parts and 2 body parts 4 hands part and 2 tail parts.
Stitching Doll's Body Part:
Now I stitched two head parts together and keep the little gap for filling. Then I stitched other body parts too same way, and keep the little gap. Then I filled head, body, hands and tail part with this poly-fil and make it like a doll shape.
Finishing Doll's Body:
After filling with Poly-fill all body parts, we need to join all the body parts by stitching. First, attach the tail by stitching to the body. Then attach the head to the neck area and stitch it. Then attach the hands to the body.
 Doll's Makeup:
I used the black fabric paint for doll’s eyes and lip, and I used my pink lipstick for doll's makeup. Just little touch-up cheeks area.
Making Doll's Dress:
Doll’s dress pattern also includes in the draft. For the upper part cloth, there is front part and 2 straps. So, we need to sew one strap for back and another strap from neck area and your upper dress is ready you decorate it with anything. I decorate with green and blue color small felt. Now we will finish the tail. So first I used a waist belt to the body and tail join are. And the for the fish scales I cut felt small pieces and stick with glue to the tail. So, our doll’s dress is ready now.

For making doll’s hair I used wool. So first layered the chunk of wool horizontally and then from the middle vertically I put hot glue line, then on that line, I put one wool thread one line and the fold the layer of wool and stick together as you can see in my video. And then take the wool layer and stick it to the doll’s head. Again, take few wool layer and stick it to the dolls forehead area for hair front layers style. Then take the front hair and twist it and take it to back and tie it with a hair elastic.
