How To | Hippie Headbands

So, as promised, here is a little How To post on how you can make your own inventive hippie headbands. See, I find that not a lot of stores make these thick type of headbands--I've been to Accessorize and the Bead Shop but all I ever find are the braided leather type of hippie headbands which are cute too but can feel a little overdone, in my opinion. Anyway yesterday I made two hippie headbands out of different types of lace. The pink one I wore today and so I'm featuring the purple one in this post. Let me get to it!

For this project, you'll need:

1.) Three different types of lace/fabric.

2.) A Basic Sewing Kit | Needle & Thread

Step 1. Measure, Cut & Sew

Measure your head with your three strips of fabric. Measure from one ear to another, laying the fabric across the crown of your head (how you would wear a headband). Cut to fit. And then, sew the three strips of fabric together on both ends as shown below.

Step 2. Tie It In

Then get a long piece of one of your fabrics (the strip you put in the middle, most practically) and sew both ends onto both ends of your three-strip crown (what you made in Step 1). Make sure this part is long enough to tie into a ribbon as this will be the part that you will be using to secure the headband.

Step 3. The Final Cut

Once you're done sewing both ends to the long strip of fabric, cut this strip in the middle so as to make the two separate ends of your head band!

Step 4. Wear it!

And there you have it: a beautiful three-fabric hippie headband. Below is a photo of me wearing the purple headband. :) Hope everyone is having a great Thursday!
