Make a 1920's Flapper Headband
Making costume pieces is a great way to encourage imaginative play! When kids make costumes from another era, they are transported to that place in time through their imaginations. This headband is a fantastic example of this: the 1920s was a decade of changing fashion styles, popular dances, and music trends. Feather headbands were popular accessories during this time.
Materials
Directions
Paint the thin cardboard white. Allow it to dry.
Once your paint dries, cut a strip of cardboard about 12'' long and 3'' wide.
Cut shapes out of the colored card stock.
Choose a few feathers or a shape. Glue directly onto the cardboard band.
Continue layering until you've created your design. There are no rules!
Once you've created your design, punch 2 holes in each end of the cardboard strip.
String yarn through the holes. Tie it so that you have 2 long pieces of yarn on each end.
Tie the yarn ends together around your head. You are now ready to play!
