Tutorial Tuesday: Fabric Head Band

January 25, 2011 by Kaysi 15 Comments

Keeping It Simple
In the past two months, I have really been venturing out and trying new things. Mostly girlie things. I have been really liking having flowers in my hair, so I thought why not try a head band 🙂

This is how I made it:
1) I took a 2″x44″ strip. I left the middle 11″ 2 inches wide and then cut down the outside 1″ wide

2) Using brown thread (I wanted it to show) I sewed all along the edge

3) For the flower, I took a 1″x 30″ strip of fabric and sewed it down the middle

4) I pulled the thread tight and made a ruffle

5) I pinned the ruffle into a circle (it’s supposed to look messy)

6) I then pinned some leaves onto it

7) I sewed the leaves and flower on. Because I was going for a messy look, I just sewed anywhere :). I then put on a button

Here’s how it looks in my hair 🙂

    You are very creative with the headband design and flower. My hair is so thin a headband doesn't stay in very long 🙁 Thanks for sharing for the SMWYG party.

    That is great fabric and it makes a perfect headband! You did a good job photographing yourself wearing it, too. That could not have been an easy task!

    I'm launching my first linky party next tuesday. It's for projects that cost less than $10 and take less than 20-30 minutes (or so!). Would you consider linking up with me on my first linky party endeavor? Thanks!
