DIY Flower headband

Nov 10, 2009

First of all, I'm so sorry for the poor picture quality, my photographers roommates are all otherwise engaged, and I just really wanted to show you guys what I made yesterday.

Basically, I have a bunch of free time on my hands now, so I've decided to embrace my artsy side and start playing around with a few projects. I'm currently digging all kinds of flower accents, so I decided to incorporate that into my first project.  The above headband, which I actually thought was going to be a necklace, took about two hours to make and was super inexpensive.

Here's what I used:

  • A black ribbon from my belt/ribbon storage box
  • Pieces of a scarf I just purchased at Goodwill for about $2. (I still have about 3/4 of the scarf left for other projects!)
  • Needle and thread from my sewing kit
  • Some random extra buttons I've accumulated
  • inspiration from this yo-yo necklace
Hope you like! It was a great first attempt for me. Hopefully my next project will be even more fabulous!
