"Etsy Month" Giveaway #13- Dandelions & Dragonflies (4 winners!)


As most of you know, I couldn't sew on a button if my life depended on it! I am completely fascinated by anything handmade, which is why the next featured shop, Dandelions & Dragonflies is so very special to me! I am amazed by each and every piece in this shop! If you are looking for a one of a kind, gorgeous headband, trust me, you will find it here!


Creator Jessica, has been working with felt since she was a kid! She would made doll clothes, cat toys and more! It was no surprise that when she was out on maternity leave, she began creating these wonderful headbands! Thank goodness she loves doing this, because there is an entire Etsy shop filled up with these felt headbands and let me tell ya, they are even cuter in person!


Even though super "non-crafty" people like me seldom see things like felt, (laugh it up...) I have always wondered what to do with this material. I would never have imagined that they would look so fabulous in the flower form on a headband! After seeing these, however, I couldn't imagine them on anything else! Jessica definitely knows what she is doing, each headband is unique, layered up with so much detail and adds a wonderful pop of color to any girl's outfit!



I was so very excited when Dandelions & Dragonflies was on board to host a giveaway because this is a fairly new shop and I know it will take off soon! I was sent a package for review, and inside I found a gift box with, you guessed it, a super cute felt flower on top! Don't mind the beat up box, my daughter went nuts over the dragonfly!


Inside the box, there were three headbands wrapped in blue tissue paper and sealed with a Dandelions & Dragonflies sticker! This is why I love Etsy! There is so much care that goes into each and every item! Aren't these super cute??! I LOVE these! My daughter was ecstatic!


She immediately wanted to try these on, pink first, of course! This headband is on a thicker band, about 1 1/2 inches wide, super soft and very stretchy- these will fit newborns up to adults! The flower is gorgeous- it has about 8 layers of felt, ribbon on the side and a gem on top! (My daughter says it's a ruby! how fancy!)


The next headband is the Venus felt flower headband in purple! This headband is on super soft and delicate stretchy lace! Each little flower is sewn on to make a heart! About 2 1/2 by 2 1/2 inches this heart is perfect for dressing up, back to school! (or LSU games! heh!) Super cute and delicate!




Lastly, the yellow headband, which has four flower, and two little leaves tucked underneath! Each little flower is about 1 inch wide and felt is jam-packed together to create a wonderful detail! The same stretchy-lace band is here as the previous one, and I think it is so very feminine!



Both my daughter and I love each of these headbands and she has been wearing them like crazy! We went school shopping the other day, and she was wanting to get outfits to match these gorgeous headbands!


-My Thoughts-

Gorgeous, handmade, one of a kind felt headbands!

Because of the felt, they can have so much detail with layers without being heavy! Genius!

Huge selection of both soft and metal heabands- in numerous color combinations!

Prices start at $10! Whoo-hoo!

Great for girls of all ages!
