My friend Christine made me this for my birthday. It was one of the best things ive ever tasted in my life.

Heres a quick tutorial. I saw my friend wearing a head band and it looked like ribbon, so i asked her where she got it... i actually cant remember but i remember her saying it was 10$. All I could think was, dang, thats alot for a piece of ribbon, i could make that for practically nothing and you know what? I am.
What you will need:
- Couple feet of ribbon
- A hair band
- Sewing Supplies
