Flower Headbands

So I'm in Target the other day and I was in the hair accessories section.  I saw some really cute flower headbands and thought, "I should get one of these" until I looked at the price.  They wanted $6.50 each for them.  So I bought a 4-pack of plastic headbands for $3.00 and got to work that night. I have only made two so far but I have two more headbands screaming my name.  I'll take step-by-step pictures when I do the next two but as for now, these pics are all I got.

First I wrapped the band in ribbon using a dot of hot glue every so often to help it stay on and stay tight.
Then I made the flowers out of fabric scraps I had laying around.  
For the white flower I just layered different sized flower cut-outs on top of each other and glued as I went.  I think it turned out cute but it looks a bit stand-outish in my hair.  It might look better on someone with blond or red hair.
The brown ones I just twisted fabric into little rosettes and glued as I went.  That one is my favorite...I think it turned out the cutest!  I'm still trying to come up with some ideas on what to do with the other two headbands...any ideas?
