    We have some local boutiques around here that I've been able to find most of hers at. They seem to have the prettiest combinations, but the prettier the combo the more $$ they are! Then at my shower they had everyone make headbands. The hostesses went to Hobby Lobby and bought different lacy stretch ribbons and then flowers, buttons, sequins, etc, and everyone hot glued a different combination on to the pre-measured bands they had ready.

    I have some custom ones, found mostly at local places, and my mom made a few since she's pretty handy when it comes to sewing. So far, my favorite one is from a Target set. It's delicate; navy with a tiny navy and white polka dot bow. I may try making some of my own soon - I like the idea of the Velcro so different flowers/bows can be used on the same elastic.

    I have made most of mine. LO was small to begin with and has a small skull. I can't buy anything that fits her (at 8 weeks, a preemie hat works, but bows/headbands don't come in preemie).

    They are super simple - fancy elastic (some lace like, some with frilly edging), hand stitched in a circle. Then, I add a sticky Velcro dot to it. I have a bunch of flowers and bows that I stick Velcro on, so they are interchangeable. (Cause I'm lazy and didn't want to make a whole bunch of white/black/pink/whatever headbands so each flower/bow could have it's own.)

    I think I may have to steal this idea! The Velcro interchangeability is awesome!

    @Pup4gdb‌ I love this idea of using Velcro. I made most of my bows while "nesting" as I am not usually very crafty. But this motivates me to make more . Looks like a craft store may be one of our first outings in a few days or so.

    I make all of mine. I have a wholesaler on etsy that I buy my supplies through.

    Here's a pic of one of ours. Super simple. And a pic showing our trouble with purchased bows - it takes over her head! And the elastic is tucked in to keep it up. (Really, I added it because her smile is so dang cute here)

    I like dainty bows, and a July 2011 bumpie has a shop that makes them.

    eBay! With DD when she was a baby, I managed to get tons for just $1.00 or less. All different colors too.

    I bought plan headbands at walmart in the craft section and bows in the baby section that I can attach to the headbands depending on what she is wearing. Once things calm down a bit around here I plan to get some ribbon and make bows and headbands for her. DH had no clue what is in store!

    My DH has asked multiple times if DD has to wear a headband everyday. Sigh. (She doesn't wear them everyday, for the record).

    I make mine... Pinterest was very dangerous in my husband's opinion bc it taught me how! Same as said above for the band but I make my flower with satin and a little hot glue and the use little barrettes from the craft store to switch from band to band. In the pic you can't see the whole bow, but you can see enough to get the idea (I don't have a pic of the bows or her in it besides this one)...
