Hellooooo!
In this post I will show you how to make a custom small doll headband using some things you can find around the house.
It's fun to create custom things for your dolls because you can make whatever you want. I know I can't always find the exact things I want for my dolls in stores, or sometimes they are too pricey. So, this is a great way to have fun, be creative, and customize your doll's accessories.
Here we go!
What you'll need:
- Hot Glue Gun
- Extra Hot Glue Sticks
- Rubber Bands (all sizes)
- Paper or Styrofoam Plates
- Paper
- Markers (any color you like)
- Scissors
Got it all?
Step 1- Arrange what you need. Plug in the got glue gun and let it warm up for about 10 minutes. I like to use paper or Styrofoam plates as my work surface for small projects like this, but you can use whatever you like.

Step 2- Color at least three areas on the paper with the different color markers of your choice.
Step 3- Cut the areas of paper you colored into strips about 4 inches long and about 1/4 inch wide. Really can be any size, but they need to be long and skinny. Don't worry about making perfect strips. If they are a little wobbly, that's okay.
Step 4- Roll the paper strips into small, loose rolls and glue one end so they don't unravel. This is what will look like a flower for your headband.
Step 5- Carefully glue each flower onto a rubber band. You can choose any color and size rubber band you like. I picked a small rubber band because this headband was made for one of my Princess Pets. I picked a blue rubber band because it's my favorite color.
Step 6- Let the glue dry. You can put a cute little custom headband like this on any size doll as long as you pick the right size rubber band. Here's my finished look!
Make sure to be careful, ask for help when you need it, and most of all HAVE FUN! Make sure to give a thumbs up, comment, and share for all of your friends to see! Come back soon for more projects!
