Flowers & Pearls Skinny Headband

I love wearing flowers in my hair, whether it's a headband, barrette, etc.  So, it seems only natural that I would end up making a couple hair accessories as part of my Flowers & Pearls collection!  I decided to share two of these accessory patterns with you today, but I still can't decide which one I like better.  I love the hairtie for a relaxing day at the beach, or going shopping with some friends, but I love the headband for a date night or a casual day on the town.  If you're like me, and can't make up your mind, either, that's okay!  Just make both!  They're very quick to make up, and very fun to do.
