Paint the precut wood (you can find at Walmart, Michael's...in the craft section) whatever color you like. Hot glue buttons matching your ribbon onto the wood in the form of the letter of the child's first name - or any design you choose. Cut two pieces of ribbon whatever length you like - I would do at least 4 feet. - making the thinner ribbon about a foot longer than the thick. Take the thinner ribbon and hot glue it to the top of the thicker ribbon - approx. 1 1/2" at the top. Hot glue the ribbon to the back of the piece of wood. To create a way to hang it I used two small screws and wound strong wire around them creating a line like those on the back of paintings or large frames. Next, go half way down and take a small piece of ribbon and glue it around both pieces of ribbon. This will seperate the section for barretts and headbands. Next, curl the top ribbon under and hot glue a small section every 6-8" three times - this will be where the headbands will slide into. At the bottom hot glue both pieces of ribbon together. For the headbands I wrapped ribbon around then, using the hot glue gun on the underside as I wrapped around. The feather headband - I hot glued sequence to the top, took feathers, pipe cleaner and tule and wrapped them together tightening them with the pipe cleaner then hot glue them to the headband. The flower was also attached using a hot glue gun.
