My daughter asked for a headband with small roses- not the big chunky (but cute) ones found at places like Anthroplogie. Here is our version (and there are several versions out there in web land).
I purchased a headband at Target (2 for $4). I used some light weight, cream remnant fabric. There isn't really a pattern. I just cut a strip of fabric about four inches wide.
2/26/10 Since those directions were as clear as mud I thought I'd add a picture.
Sorry to add to this post again- but I found a place where you can buy a similar finished headband (if you don't want to make one)- here at love stitched.
Another way you can make these is to wad up your knee high nylons- hah!

Great tutorial!! I thought it was very clear. My daughter loves those headbands. I think I am going to give this a try!! Thanks for the inspiration.
Have a great day!
One quick question...how long was each piece of material? It looks like 12"
Oh, I'm glad you like it. I didn't really measure. I started out with a piece about 12" long and then as I twisted I watched how big the rose was getting. When it was the size I wanted I cut the extra material off, folded the raw edges under and stitched them in place. The small roses probably only took about six inches--- good luck!
I love this, They are perfect for my 10 year old. So girly and soft. Perfect. I think that the tutorial was very un-muddy. Very excited to try this one. Thanks again. Please, if you can, stop by sometime and say hello
