Tulle Bow Headband: A Recycled Craft

I love when I can make a craft for practically free. I love it even more when I can make a craft for practically free while recycling materials. Know what puts the icing on the cake? When I can make a craft for practically free while recycling materials and it is actually useful. Today’s Tulle Bow Headband fits all of the above, so I’m super excited to be sharing it today!
