Fun to wear and easy to make. Ribbon was hand dyed and wrapped around a plastic headband and then glittery stemmed shamrocks were glued to the band.

Step 1:

-Cover work surface with a plastic table cover. Gather your dyeing supplies.

-Wearing latex gloves, shake dye bottle. Then measure 1 Tablespoon Kelly Green with 1 cup very hot water (140º F); stir well. Note: If water is not hot enough, heat some in the microwave or in a tea kettle.

-Immerse ribbon in dye solution for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 2:

-Remove ribbon from dye. Rinse in cold running water until water runs clear. Then wash in warm soapy water, rinse and hang to dry.

Step 3:

-To finish headband: Glue small piece of ribbon onto ends of headband. Then glue one end of ribbon at one end of the headband and wrap ribbon around at an angle until headband is covered. Glue end in place; let dry.

Step 4:

-Cut 2 shamrock sprigs from the shamrock decoration.

-Optional: Glue “Kiss Me” and “Celebrate” buttons to glittery shamrocks.

-Then flatten ends of shamrock sprigs and glue to headband.
