Making a chic little headband.

I love those cute little feathery headbands, but the only ones I could find were selling for about $40...No thank you! So I hit up my local Joann Fabrics (I swear I'm putting Joann's children through college) and stumbled upon some materials to make my very own headband.

Tutorial:
Materials- Headband, glue, ribbon, feather, binder clips, jewels or other add-ons (this totalled around $10 for me)


1) Ok first you need to glue the ribbon to your headband. Work slowly,wrapping the ribbon around the headband in a spiral motion and adding glue as you work. Don't add to much or else it will bleed through. As you glue, attach binder clips to hold the ribbon in place while the glue dries. Let the glue dry



2) Now attach your feather. Mine came with felt backing, but if yours doesn't have that, I would reccomend adding it, so as not to clump the feathers. Clip a binder clip where you can to hold the feather in place. Now is when you would attach any other decoration to your headband.



3)Finally, where and show off your adorable headband!



Enjoy! More to come soon.

Long time no blog!

Wow it's been a long time since I've posted. Sorry for the absence! I'm now officially done with AP tests (uggggghhhhh), the lacrosse season (FUN!), and am heading into the homestretch of the school year. I hopefully will be posting more from now on! I have a few projects to show off and maybe a story or two to share. More to come soon.
