This headband was SO easy to make, and I think it would be a really cute Christmas gift for some special girl in your life!
My step-by-step pictures are lacking, but it's just so easy that I think you can handle it without the pictures!
Here are the supplies you will need:
- Package of feathers (mine were purchased at Michaels in the craft aisle, sorry I can't recall the price! They are under $5 for sure).
- Slim plastic headband (I bought a 3-pack of these at Target a few years ago)
- Hot glue gun
- Cute button or bead for the center!
Then, glue a couple more feathers facing the other way. It should resemble a bow, with one side being longer. Finally, glue your button over the top, and voila! You have a pretty new headband. I kid you not when I say that this took me 5 minutes! 5 minutes! So easy.
Yes, I am already thinking about Christmas gifts- are you? As usual, I'm hoping to do a combination of purchased and homemade gifts for an extra-special, checkbook-friendly Christmas! How about you?
Ooh, so cute! I might need to make these for my girls. They are jealous that mommy has a feather in her hair and they don't. I am hoping to get my bedroom trim done this week and then yes, I'm thinking about Christmas gifts after that! Thanks for inspiring this morning!
ReplyDeleteoooh, I just bought a headband, similar to yours, for Tovala! I love it and was thinking I had to buy one for myself... if only I was as creative as you and thought to just make it instead! ;)
ReplyDeletemiss you.
Cute! I have made a few headbands on an elastic band with flowers and buttons, but the feathers are super cute, too! Thanks for the idea! :)
ReplyDeleteCute, cute, CUTE! This fall I've been all about the messy bun + headband combo. Might have to give this a try!
ReplyDeletethat is super cute, and i would totally rock that.
ReplyDeleteAnge- You totally should! They are so easy and cheap, could even be stocking stuffers.
ReplyDeleteYetta- Too funny! It's ok, I only get bit by the creative bug once in a while. But this was a moment of creativity- and I'm glad it turned out!
Madeline- I think this would work really well on an elastic band! Or even hair clips.
Corner Cape- Yay, I'm super glad you like it! I've been wearing it a lot, it's a great accent piece.
Definitely thinking about Christmas gifts, though my list is much smaller than normal since we're forgoing presents on my side of the family. It's a tight year financially so most of the gifts I do give will be homemade, but that's more fun for me anyway. I love making gifts!
ReplyDeleteThis is great! I'm sure the girls will like it. I will be sharing. Come to our linky party at
