A hair-band I decorated! (+sort-of tutorial)

I'd been wanting to do this for a long time, and last night I was feeling so happy I got inspired :D
I have a black hair-band, that looked pretty dull on its own, so I wanted to spruce it up. It's covered with satin (?), so it was easy to modify.

First I gathered all sorts of stuff I thought I could use. Lace, ribbons, chain, pearls and a little satin rose. Also I needed scissors, needle and thread, and a hot glue gun :D


I started with making a string of pearls, and I sewed on to the side of the hair-band. The pearls are just plastic, and one bag cost about 1€ or 1,50€.


Then I glued a chain to it! I tried sewing it first, but the links of the chain had small gaps in them, so it dropped from the thread... My first time ever using a glue gun, and I must say I love it already :D
I took the chain from a necklace that couldn't be used, because the lock was broken.


Then I sewed some white net-like fabric to it. Maybe it's called tulle? I'm not sure... I don't remember where I got it, probably from my dad's wedding. They were made into little pouches and tied with a pink ribbon. They had candy inside them, and they were given to the guests. I had to hang onto them in case I needed them some day ;) I just folded it as nicely as I could, and sewed it on securely.


After sewing the tulle, I sewed some black flowery lace on it :D First I folded the piece of lace fabric and sewed the sharp point, so when I opened it, it had some folds in it then, too. I cut the edges in zig-zag fashion.


Then I cut a piece of ribbon and folded it to look like a bow. I sewed the center, so it would stay put! :D


And I glued the bow on the hair-band!


And finally I glued the little satin rose on top of everything :)


I tried to take pictures with the hair-band on my head myself x) My hair looks greasy for some reason, but it's not! It's just... shiny and thin :B Also I haven't dyed it for a while, so you can see my roots...




Hope you like it :3

wow that looks pretty awesome! i dont really wear hairbands myself but i think ill get one just to make smth similar to that lol

ahhh awesome..!!
ahh well is so pretty..!!
well i never use hairband but it's so cool..!!

What a great idea, it turned out beautifully.

Thanks! :D

I don't usually wear hair-bands either, but I like those all fabric ones that cover a part of your forehead (goes along the hairline). This is my only hair-band xD And now it's unique! I've been thinking that I could start wearing more hair accessories, since I almost never wear them :3

It turned out beautifully, yes. Maybe even better than I imagined :D

That is so adorable! <33 You did an amazing job!

it look so beautiful... awesome idea. I love it, honey

So pretty! I almost always wear headbands, even though I have bangs and they're pointless... They still look pretty, at least.
Anyway, I might try to make something like this. I have this black lace with spiderwebs all over it....No chain, but I'll make it work....

Thank you ZeeCaine and Natt! <3

Luna, you should make one! And remember to show it to us :)
I have black lace with spiders on it. They're purple and glittery O_o

Wow, that look great

I just love it so much!!
But sadly I think Hairbands don't fit to me very well ^^

Oh wow, that's actually really cool. Makes me want to get an hairband!

Thanks ^^

I think hair-bands don't fit me, either, but maybe I'm not just used to them, my style hasn't been that girly :D This hair-band is a bit too wide, it leaves a gap in the back :/

Ene, you should get one! Show everyone how confident you are :D

Very pretty. <:
