I found this headband online at anthro. A few seconds of perusing led me to believe that I could make it. I still happened to have one dollar store head band left. So, I took some b & w fabric from my stash and went to work. Part of the fun was taking no measurements and just kind of improvising as I went along. I knew I would get a slightly different effect because the fabric above is more gauze like, where I just used cotton fabric.
First, I wrapped the headband with a thin strip of fabric, folding down the exposed edge and using hot glue sporadically to make it tight.
Then I made the bows by sewing a folded piece of fabric wrong sides together, then I flipped it right side out and pinched the center until I was happy with how it looked. I made two pieces, one slightly larger then the other and used a scrap to wrap around the center.
I've never done a tutorial before, so if anyone is interested in having all the steps, detailed maybe I can make another one and document better. I was pretty happy with it.
It doesn't look exactly the same but you get the idea. I'd love to make a real colorful one next.
Hope everyone had a great weekend and holiday! Gabe stayed very busy but we were able to escape to a BBQ. Fireworks were cancelled due to rain, but if weather permits we will get to see them tomorrow. Fun times!
