DIY: headband

I´m going to a big, chic party with my husband and really want something pretty for my hair...

So what I did and used was this:

The most important thing: a crochet-doily. I made this one other day, using this youtube-video: I really love this doily - and the video was really good and easy to follow:


The rest: hot glue, thick paper (I used a cerial-box), a black felt sheet (mine is from the store "Tiger") , a ribbon (mine is from "Twill"), and a headband/spöng.

What I did:
1. Cut a paper-circle, big as your doily or whatever you are using...


2. Cut a felt-circle, bigger than your paper-circle:


2. Hot-glue the overlapping felt to the paper - as you can see, it doesn´t have to look pretty or perfect at this point:




3. Hot-glue another felt-circle (a bit smaller) over the ugly side... and voila... looking pretty and clean again:

4. Wrap your ribbon around the headband/spöng, and make make dot´s of hot glue on the headband as you go, to make it stick:

5. hot glue the doily to the felt/paper-circle you just made before: (I put tiny dots of hot glue on the doily and then put it on the circle)

6.The final step: hot glue the circle to the headband...


I love, love, LOVE the result - my little one was the only model available but he was willing to pose with this girly thing for me:

  5. Ótrúlega skemmtileg hugmynd hjá þér og svo fallegt heklið! Ég þarf að sýna henni Jasmín þetta því hún elskar svona spangir og dúllerí.
