blah to TADA!: Homemade Headband

Homemade Headband

Hi guys!

Back in the 1990's, I and every girl I knew wore a headband. It kept our hair in place and was a cute accessory. I remember saving my allowance so that I could buy different kinds: thin, thick, plain, floral, with teeth and without, with bows, flowers, and beads.

Well, headbands are back:

Rifle Paper Co.

Anthropologie

Liberty of London, floral, Liberty fabric, headband, hair accessories, fashion, blah to TADA

J.Crew

It's a good thing I kept this old one from years ago:

I hardly wore it since, left it at the back of the drawer, and almost added it to the donation pile. Time to give it new life!

Headband, floral scarf, elastic hair ties, homemade headband, crafts, blah to TADA, recycle, repurpose, shopping in my closet

I also found a floral scarf and two hair ties.

I tied the scarf at the top of the headband and made two knots.

Then I wrapped the rest of the scarf around the headband.

I folded the tails of the scarf and kept them secure with a hair tie on each end of the headband. No need to sew or use glue.

Old headband, new look...TADA!

I can create more looks by using other scarves and strips of fabric and use this headband while it's on trend. Since a lot of still work from home and do virtual meetings, a headband is a quick way to change our look.

Stay safe everyone!
