In case you haven't noticed, I love making headbands.
I made a bunch of these fun ruffled headbands for the Beehive Bazaar.
Today I am showing you how to make some for yourself!
Supplies:
A plastic headband
Strip of fabric that measures 1.5 by 10 inches
Needle and thread or a sewing machine
Hot Glue Gun
1. Knot the end of your thread and sew a running stitch down the center of your fabric strip. Closer smaller stitches equals more ruffles. I like my ruffle to be somewhere between 3.5 to 4 inches long. Knot the other end of the thread to hold your ruffle. If you are using your sewing machine, just sew a quick gathering stitch and knot your ends when you get the length you like.
For a longer ruffle cut our fabric longer to start with.
2. Decide where you want your ruffle to sit on your head. I like mine off centered to the right. Hot glue a little at a time.
Once I have the first end glued on I lay my ruffle on the table. I slowly add the hot glue to the headband and roll it down the center of the ruffled strip.
You should be all finished!
I like the raw edge of the fabric. If you want something a little cleaner try using knit from and old t-shirt.
Since I am becoming so good at self portraits I thought I would model the headband for you (i am being sarcastic). Doesn't it look great in my air dried hair!
