this super cool button by following a tutorial by April of the Salt for the Spirit blog. Here is the

Finishing:

Sew the outer petals of the flower onto the headband wherever you like. (I like my flowers off-
center, so I stuck mine on the side). Sew the button at the end of the headband (the end
without the buttonhole, obviously). And you’re done! Enjoy your super-cozy headband.
