Patty Pan Flower Headband

This activity is perfect for NAIDOC Week. Research the beautiful headdress made by Torres Strait Islander women and then create beautiful, bright flowers with this simple fold and cut method. Use your flowers to decorate a headband and then you can wear your amazing creation!
  • Step 1Fold your Patty Pan in half to create a half circle and then fold in half and half again to create a thin wedge.
  • Step 2Trim the wide edge off your Patty Pan wedge in a zig-zag pattern. When you open up the folded Patty Pan, you will see it has created a flower.
  • Step 3Repeat the steps above to create another, smaller flower using a contrasting colour Patty Pan.
  • Step 4Glue the 2 Patty Pans together. To complete the flower, glue a pom pom into the centre. Continue this process to create lots of pretty, bright flowers.
  • Step 5To create leaves, fold a green Patty Pan in half, and in half again. Cut a leaf shape out of this green wedge and you will now have 4 leaves.
  • Step 6Use white cardboard to create a headband. Cut a long strip to fit around your head. You may need to cut 2 strips and join them together. Once you have a strip of cardboard long enough to fit around your head, tape it in place. Glue all of your flowers and leaves to your headband. Allow to dry before wearing.
