    Measure a wide ribbon to fit 2/3 round the head.  Gather the ends round a short piece of elastic so that the band fits snugly round the head.  Sew the flower shapes on as densely as you wish.

     

    Take one step further –

    -       Use as clusters in home decor – cushion covers - curtain tie backs – corner accents.
