ROSE HEADBAND

This is a headband that I made for my wife.  The headband is designed for an adult to wear.  The headband can easily adjusted to fit any size head by simply adding or subtracting shells.  I attached a crocheted rose to the headband.  As noted in the picture, the headband and rose can be made in any color.
