In all your spare time between now and tomorrow, you should make one or a dozen of these. Using all my favorite ribbon I put together this show stopper for our festivities tomorrow. I used recycled felt, bamboo batting, and ribbon ranging from vintage to Italian. This thing has got America written all over it.
I've included a slide show of pics with a little bit of a how-to. Just click on the notes for my commentary.







Ooo ooo, it's like a beautiful American firework! George M. Cohan would be proud, in fact it'd probably inspire him to write another musical.

Of course you can't hear me, but I'm singing "You're a grand old flag/you're a high flying flag/and forever in peace may you wave" in honor of this headband.
