Finishing:
1) Put on the headband, tightening it to the way you’ll want to wear it. Sew button to point where the buttonhole lays over the side without a buttonhole.
2) Curl rose into a spiral (with the shortest end in the center) and sew across bottom to prevent unfurling.
3) Sew rose to headband. If desired, use green yarn to embroider a leaf for it.
4) Weave in all ends. Enjoy!
