How to Make a Baby's Birthday Crown Headband

Step-by-Step Guide

1. 1

   Step 1: Wrap the hair hoop neatly with thin ribbon.

   Glue one end of the ribbon in place, then begin to wrap.
   
   As you wrap, carefully overlay the next wrap over the far edge of the last wrap, to maintain the neatness and to ensure that the hoop material does not show through between the joins.
   
   Finish by gluing the other end in place.
   
   Wait until dried before proceeding.
