Why You'll Love This Floral Headband Pattern

I absolutely love this pattern because it turns simple raffia yarn into stunning, delicate flowers that look like boutique pieces. I enjoy how each flower is made from small repeating rounds, so they are relaxing and satisfying to crochet. The assembly with PVA glue and small tassel centres gives every bloom a handcrafted, high-quality finish I am proud to gift. I also love that the pattern is flexible — you can change colors, add glitter or adjust sizes to make something uniquely yours.

Switch Things Up

I love how easy it is to customize this headband: change raffia colors to create pastel wedding bouquets or bright festival blooms.

You can make the flowers larger by using thicker raffia or a larger hook for a bolder statement piece.

Choose thinner raffia and a smaller hook to make miniatures perfect for brooches or hair clips.

I often add beads to the centres instead of tassels for a more elegant, jeweled look.

Try mixing yarn types—combine raffia with cotton or linen ribbon for interesting textures and softer petals.

Experiment with glitter or metallic paint on the tassel ends for subtle sparkle that catches the light.

I sometimes wire the base of the flowers before gluing so I can slightly bend petals for a natural, three-dimensional arrangement.

If you want a boho look, attach leather or suede cords and longer ribbons to the headband ends for flowing ties.

For a durable everyday version, sew the flowers onto a fabric-covered headband base instead of gluing to the plastic band.

I also recommend making a matching set—small corsage or brooch—using the same flower patterns to create coordinated accessories.

Finally, don’t be afraid to mix flower types and sizes along the band to craft a one-of-a-kind arrangement that reflects your personal style.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Not tightening the centre thread enough can cause a loose centre that falls apart; pull the end tight, tuck it to the wrong side and secure with a knot before gluing. ✗ Skipping the instruction to steam and shape the corolla can leave petals floppy; lightly steam the corolla with an iron to set the shape and then glue the centre firmly. ✗ Dipping tassel ends in glue after cutting may leave messy strands; dip the ends in PVA glue and then immediately dip in glitter to seal and neaten them. ✗ Not hiding or tying off ends properly can make the piece look unfinished; tighten the end into the first chain, tie a secure knot and hide ends before final assembly. ✗ Using too much glue when attaching layers can stiffen the flower and show through; apply a small amount of PVA glue and press layers together, allowing to dry under clamps for a neat finish.

Assembly Instructions

  • Glue the small tassel centre into the centre of each corolla using PVA glue, pressing firmly so the tassel sits crosswise under the centre.
  • Stack the poppy coronas by gluing the 2nd corolla into the 1st corolla, then glue the centre on top; hold with adjustable clamps until dry.
  • Use PVA glue to attach camomile, poppy and cornflower clusters to the plastic headband, arranging flowers as desired and securing with clamps while drying.
  • Dip raffia tassel ends in PVA glue then in glitter for the stamen finish, and glue these into the poppy centres before final assembly.

Important Notes

  • 💡Steam the corolla with an iron to shape the petals before gluing for a clean, finished look.
  • 💡Tighten and hide thread ends by pulling the tail into the first chain and tying a secure knot to prevent unraveling.
  • 💡Use small adjustable clamps to hold glued parts in place until the PVA glue fully dries to ensure strong bonds.
  • 💡Apply glue sparingly when joining layers to avoid stiff, visible glue lines; less is more for a natural look.
