I feel like I am always making stuff. Stuff for the house. Stuff for Little Man. Stuff for gifts for other people. All of these are wonderful and important endeavors. But I got a little selfish and decided it was time to make something for me.
I followed the tutorial here at The Long Thread. There was a pattern and everything! I just did a couple of things differently:
* I made my headbands slightly more narrow and used a shorter piece (5 inches) of elastic than the recommended 6 inches. Maybe I have an abnormally small head. Not sure.
* I used Wonder Under in between the 2 layers of fabric to really stabilize it before sewing the 2 fabric pieces together.
Accessories just aren't fun unless you can swap, right?! I made headbands for both of my sisters. This is my cute little sister modeling her headband--both sides! She's a perfect model.
Alright--selfish craft complete. I'm sure there will be more to come. Have a super day!

Love them! I made these too. Now i am obsessed with headbands, every time i cut something out i use the left over for a headband. i have scene made my own pattern and I am now close to getting it perfect for my head.
ReplyDeleteha ha aren't you so sweet! I'm sure Oopsey Daisy will be the start of my modeling career. :) I love you so much! Thanks for the cute headband again! I can't wait to wear it. :D
ReplyDeleteSuper cute! I love your fabrics. I really like that they are reversible!
ReplyDeleteThese turned out so cute. You picked great fabric and they are going to be so much fun to wear.
ReplyDeleteI love these! Headbands always slide off my hair, but my 11 year old loves them with a passion. I am definitely making some for her!
ReplyDeleteI've made some of these for my girls....but haven't made any for me. I guess I'm going to have to have a 'selfish' craft day too!!

ReplyDeleteRemedy for the slipping-off-the-head problem: buy velcro circles and put 3-4 hard velcro pieces on the underside of the headband. I have two headbands that use velcro; it acts as a little comb to hold the headband in place! Only problem with that...your headband wouldn't be reversible anymore; only one-sided.
ReplyDeleteLove these! I made some similar for my daughter but never got around to making me some! Linking back to you later in the week!

I love them and love the fact that they are reversible! But if you wanted to make them one sided you can put a couple circles of velcro on the back side so they dont slide around! I have that on one I bought and I LOVE it! Just an idea!
