A Five Minute Headband.

It’s my day today….have you noticed that Liz and I trade off and post every other day?  It makes it nice for use…and I get to see her projects too.

So, when making the Vintage Easter dress I wanted a simple headband for her simple dress.  So, I literally grabbed what I had and made a 5 minute headband before running out to take pictures.  This headband is in no way new or exciting, but I liked it.  Mostly, because I love simple, classic styles.

Here’s how you do it….

I used some super wide bias tape because it’s what I had. But I later used some grosgrain ribbon that works well too.
*17 inch piece of wide bias tape for headband
*8 inch piece of bias tape for bow
*3 inch piece of bias tape for middle of bow
*3 inch piece of 1/4 inch elastic for back of headband

(I am kind of embarassed about how terrible my cutting mat looks.  Please ignore.)
Step 1
Fold in ends of bias tape and then pin your piece of elastic into one end.
Step 2
Repeat for the other end.  Then sew up the ends and sides of the headband.  It will look like this when done.
Step 3.
Make your bow.  I just folded the ends in toward the middle and sewed.
Step 4
I added the middle piece and handstitched to the headband.  (Or hot glue….it works well too.)
The other thing is…..they make a darling belt for a little girl too.  A perfect thing to add to a simple tee.
And you know me, I just had to make a few more the next day.  We LOVE headbands at our house.
