Baby Headbands: Easy and Fun Ways to Celebrate Daughters

Father and Daughter

Baby headbands are not just hair accessories you buy from a store today, and toss inside the drawer tomorrow when your baby has outgrown her crib, and grew her hair into a ponytail.  You can create memories with baby headbands; here is my story.

It took me six long years, and about 24 visits to my Obstetrician before I conceived a child at 29.  And when she finally arrived on March 16, 1992, I had one goal:  to celebrate her every day!

Lizbeth, her name, weighed only about 6.3 lbs.  Unlike most girls, she had a scrubbed head.  It was a challenge to dress her up like a doll because a cute dress and a bald head rarely match.  So, I had to devise a plan on how to make my daughter looked like the princess I always thought of her in my dreams.

Thanks to baby headbands, the job was effortless and a lot of fun!

Press forward to 1997 until 2005, Sophie, Debra and Bardot, my other daughters took turns in wearing Lizbeth’s baby headbands for all their “firsts” – first birthday, first haircut, first tooth, and a lot of other milestones in their lives; however, handcrafting Lizbeth’s baby headbands had the most impact on my memory.  Perhaps it’s true that the first daughter always has the biggest slice of her mother’s heart!  (Pls. don’t tell my other daughters about it.)

You, too, should learn how to make baby headbands for your daughters.  It’s not really the finished product that counts or rewards your experience, but the feeling of “celebrating” your daughters each time you create a masterpiece on their heads.

Find out how these flower appliqués on skinny elastic headbands would create favorable impressions for your daughters.  You can also use baby headbands to create an illusion about the size of your daughter’s wardrobe, as each headband is reasonably priced, you can mix and match your daughter’s clothes with each new color and design.
