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.

Headbands, Headbands, Headbands!

I've made more headbands. I'm totally addicted. My friends keep asking for them, so I'm just cranking them our as fast as I can. I made one with flowers based on these Lydia flowers. Then I made two based on an adorable and simple pattern from a common thread blog. The flowers one went to my sister and the two bows went to friends for their birthdays.
Here are some pictures.



More headbands should be coming as well as a few other projects. I'm thinking pom-poms for my next headband. Any requests,Chloe?
