Mr. Glue-gun

I bought my very first glue-gun about a month ago.
Meet Mr. Glue-gun, the lean, mean gluing machine:


It was an impulsive buy. I usually try to avoid impulsive buys by telling myself that if I don't have a project for it, I can't buy it. I didn't have specific purpose in mind for Mr. G, but thought any self-respecting crafter should own one. Plus, it was only a dollar.

Then today while I was trying to think of crafty things to do I thought about projects I could do with Mr. G. And this headband idea came to mind.

It was so simple! I had all this leftover felt from the Dolls for Haiti project and found a plain, black headband at the dollar store. I cut out gray and white petals out of the felt, and similar petals from mesh. Then just glued it on a circular piece of felt which I then glued on the headband.
Viola, finished! (please pardon my super shiny forehead here, it's the flash...I promise...)

Job well done, Mr. Glue-gun.
