3. Felt Bat Headband
Dress up your newborn for their very first autumn photos with a handmade, ultra-soft felt bat headband. Because newborn skin is incredibly delicate, this DIY prioritizes comfort by using soft, stretchy nylon headbands as the base. Cut out two small, stylized bat wings and a tiny bat body from high-quality black merino wool felt. Using a hot glue gun, carefully assemble the bat shape, then secure it to the center of the nylon band. To ensure there is no scratchy residue against your baby’s head, glue a small circle of soft felt on the underside of the band where the bat is attached. This lightweight, comfortable accessory adds the perfect touch of spooky charm to any simple black or orange onesie.
