I'm currently running on a crocheted flower high while I'm sick (just because they're so easy and turn out so pretty). I have a bunch just stacked up with sequin, bead, and button centers. This little headband adds color in the cutest, chicest way. Sorry about the horrible pictures.

The headband consists of three flowers in two different sizes. Make 1 large flower and 2 small ones. Large Flower (make 1): rnd 1 - Ch2, 5 sc in first st, join with slip st to form round. rnd 2 - Ch 1, 2 sc in each st, join with slip st to form round. rnd 3 - Ch 1, *slip st in next st, (1 sc, 2 hdc, 1 dc, 2 hdc, and 1 sc) in next st.* Repeat from * to *. Join with slip st. Fasten off and weave in ends. Small Flower (make 2): rnd 1 - Ch2, 9 sc in first st, join with slip st to form round. rnd 2 - Ch 1, *slip st in next st, (1 sc, 2 hdc, 1 dc, 2 hdc, and 1 sc) in next st.* Repeat from * to *. Join with slip st. Fasten off and weave in ends.
Sew pearl beads on however you want. I sewed 1 large pearl bead to the center of my large flower, 3 small pearl beads to the center of one of my smaller flowers, and 1 large and 1 small pearl bead to the center of the other small flower.
Measure out 45-50 inches of the ribbon you're using (I used black organza ribbon). About 15 inches up one side, separate using pins or tape a 6 inch section.
Sew the flowers on to the ribbon. Place them within the 6 inch area and leave about half an inch between the edges of the petals so they are evenly spaced.
Finally, tie and wear. You can add a clasp to the back if you wish (tying and untying wears out the ribbon).
