Large Flower/Bow Headband

This Flower/Bow Headband idea came to me while passing a Claire's store and seeing all their giant bow headbands and flower headbands, and instead, I wanted a combination of the two!  So in order to get one,  I had to create my own!!!   This pattern may be messy and has only been tested by me, so if anything is confusing, feel free to ask or help correct my pattern! Thanks, Natasha (mnopxs2).
