DIY Headband

Headbands are awesome. I love them and when I was sorting through my hair accessories I found I had a surplus of plain headbands that I haven't worn, well probably since middle school. So instead of throwing them out I have come up with a plan to repurpose them.

What you will need:

1. A plain headband, cheap ones can be found CVS
2. Fabric
3. Glue
4. Any embellishments you wish to use, I will be using gold fabric paint.

Step 1.
Get out your glue and literally just attack your headband with it and then just stick it to the fabric.



Step 2.
Attack the inside of the headband with glue and then just begin to wrap the remainder of the fabric around glueing when nessecary. Tip, try and make it so that the edges are on the inside of the headband, you can trim the fabric if you need to.


Step 3.
Now you can either stop here OR you can choose to add some embellishments, because come on, who doesn't love embellishments?


Step 4.
I decided to just keep it simple and add some gold metallic dots with fabric paint all the way around the band.


And ta-da! You have a brand new headband to add to your collection!
