Sew plastic stone to center of flower.
Attaching the flower motif to the headband (refer to photograph below for guide):
(Note:The crocheted flower is attached to the headband by crocheting a chain around the flower joined at the four petal points. It is at these four petal points that the flower is joined to the headband with a sc. Another option is to crochet the chain around the flower, fasten off, then just sew the flower onto the headband.)
Center the motif on the headband. You may also position the motif slightly nearer one end of the headband.
Join yarn with sc to first ch-2 tip of outer petal. Join to center of headband with sl st, *ch 12, sc in next ch-1 tip of outer petal, join to edge of headband with sl st, rep from * 3 more times. Fasten off.
With wrong side facing, fold one end of the headband over, touching the tip to the first row of dcs. Using the same yarn and a yarn needle, sew into place, with opening on the two sides for the ties to slip through later. Repeat for opposite end of headband.
Ties (refer to photograph below for guide):
Slip the tie into folded end of headband. Insert ends of tie into bead and make a knot.
Using black yarn, make two ties made of ch sts at least 20 inches long. Slip tie into folded end of headband. Insert ends of tie into bead and make a knot. Repeat for other tie.
Got more yarn? Make a cuff bracelet!
With some modifications of the pattern for the headband, you can make a cuff bracelet.
With some simple modifications of the pattern, you can make a cuff bracelet like this. For enclosure, sew one or two buttons at one end of the cuff and make loops at the other end. If you want a flatter flower motif like the one shown in the photo below, just sew down the tips of the inner petals.
Use buttons and crochet button loops for enclosure.
