Have you seen Creative Galaxy yet? It’s a really cute kid’s show from the people behind Blue’s Clues. As a child, my daughter just loved Blue’s Clues so, naturally, this show is really cute, too. Creative Galaxy is on is an Amazon Original Kids series and the 2nd season starts tomorrow, September 16th. In honor of the new season, we are sharing with you a cute and easy DIY Flower Headband tutorial inspired by Creative Galaxy.
DIY Flower Headband Tutorial
To make your flower headband, you will need…
Several Fuzzy Sticks {aka pipe cleaners} in your choice of colors
Several Tissue Papers in your choice of colors
Headband
I chose pink pipe cleaners to cover the headband and all of the colors in the bag for the flower. But feel free to be as creative and as colorful as you like. 🙂
First you will need to fold the tissue papers in half twice {or in fourths}. Then stack the colors on top of each other and cut along all the edges so that you have several different pieces of each color.
Put the pieces you cut off to the side. You can use these if you want or you can throw them away. I did not use them for my diy flower headband.
Next, take a pipe cleaner and bend it in half. Wrap it around the headband and then continue with more pipe cleaners until you have covered all or almost all of the headband. Be sure to be carfeul as pipe cleaners can be a little sharp on the ends.
Pick up all of the papers that you cut earlier and put them over your finger just like they do in Creative Galaxy episode, “Annie’s Flowers.” Wrap a pipe cleaner around the part at the tip of your finger and twist it.
Finally, wrap the pipe cleaner that is securing your flower around the headband just like you did with the other pipe cleaners. Carefully fluff and crinkle the pipe cleaner and you are done. Voila!

Creative Galaxy, from Out of the Blue Enterprises (Super Why!, Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood), is a “make-along, create-along” animated art adventure series that celebrates creative thinking through crafts, story, music, and dance. Creative Galaxy follows the adventures of Arty and his silly side-kick Epiphany, as they travel around the galaxy to solve problems using many different forms of art.

The interactive stories and live action segments encourage young viewers at home to get excited about their own creative ideas and the process of using creative arts to solve problems!

Special guests this season include Brooke Shields, Jason Priestly, Samantha Bee, Lisa Loeb, Donovan Patton, Cloris Leachman and more.
This would be fun for our ladies tea parties at our church. The ladies would have fun making these flowers
Love the ease of this DIY and the creativity of it! The colors and the vibrancy is amazing and what fun photos you’ll get too!
My niece would go nuts over this. She loves big and colorful things like this, especially on her head haha
I actually id this with my daughters last fall and they loved it! I think I have to do it again especially since my youngest can help this year since she’s older! Thanks for sharing and reminding me 🙂
This headband is so cute! My kids would love making this, and I know they’d love to wear it!
Such a cute idea! I know my daughter would probably love to sit and make these for my grandbaby and young niece!
I have never heard of this show but it sounds great! My child would love this idea and I will for sure add this to our homeschool fun next week!
that looks like a fun headband idea. my daughter would love to wear something like that!
Oh my gosh! This is so fun! And is definitely perfect for the upcoming Halloween season 🙂
Oh those look so adorable and easy to make! We have not discovered that show yet, but will have to check it out. My kids love Blues Clues!
I love all the bright and fun colors. Tissue paper crafts were always my favorite.
That’s really creative and easy! Who knew. It’s always better to make a DIY costume for Halloween especially when the kids are involved, it’s so much more fun and exciting!
How fun! If I had little girls I would be all over this headband! Ha. My kids just saw this and said that we should make it for their cousin. I guess we will be trying it out!
Always love a good headpiece! I remember our daughter and I making a floppy hat by placing layers of tissue paper over a bowl and using watered down glue to paint on each layer that went over the bowl (not the part that was the floppy part) and then letting it dry. Take it off the bowl and put it on your head! We decorated ours with flowers!
Such a cute idea and it looks like a great show. I love Amazon!
OMG how cute. I have a friend who would love this project for her daycare kids.
I think this is a lovely DIY and it’s perfect for costumes as well. It’s quite easy to do and you can pick different colors and add other details that you want!
I just saw that show when I was flipping through fire tv earlier today! I didn’t realize the people behind Blues Clues created it. I love that show! Cute headbands 🙂
We haven’t ever seen Creative Galaxy at our house but it seems like something my kiddos would like. I love the headband it’s so cute!

I don’t have kids yet so I am not up to date with all these shows but it looks great for kids! Cute headbands!
That headband is so cute! Plus, it has many colors! I make sure to make some for my daughter! She really loves wearing headband, especially in many colors. Thanks for sharing this post! I highly appreciate it! Keep up!
What a gorgeous headband! It would be very funny to make it together with my little daughter and I guess she would love this so much. Thanks for the lovely sharing.
Seems that it is easy to do. It would be interesting doing with our kids. Activities like this are a lot more rewarding to play with toys. Thanks for sharing!
