I have been in love
with the headband trend since it became popular to wear them again. They are also more comfortable than I
remember when I was a kid. My friend
Julia inspired me to make some. She
seems to always wear fantastic colors and have big flowers in her hair. She's so stylish. I went into her facebook profile and grabbed
some pictures of her that inspired them, hehehe. Then I created a few last night.
I used some sample
swatch fabric that was going to be thrown away to make the bands. The fabric is a very expensive velvet swatch. I sewed a piece of elastic on the
underside. The flowers were from some
poly organza I had bought for my wedding to put on the tables. My mom salvaged and saved me the fabric to
reuse. I cut just over 20 circles of the
organza fabric going down in size a little every couple circles. Then I took a lighter and burnt around the
edges of each circle. I sewed the flower
down to the bands and added a final touch of glass beads to the center.
I made three, plum,
red, and blue.
I made the plum one with the intention of giving it away but it matched my clutch so well I decided to keep it. Doesn't it look fab on me? I'll just make another one for my friend.
Cheers,
Kyle
Very cute! Are you selling them on etsy?
