Here are my headbands!
I actually made the green one last night. I followed this Heather Bailey pattern but didn't include the ties. I used Amy Butler fabric called Green/Martini.
This morning I made the scrappy flower headband inspired by this blog. All you have to do is cut a skinny piece of fabric (I used leftovers from a cork board that I covered in fabric), wrap it around a headband and secure the fabric with hot glue every now and then. Then I tried my hand at rolled fabric flowers again and was very pleased with the results! Then I hot glued those onto the headband. The fabric I used was Kate Spain's Fandango Barcelona Azul (Moda).
My last headband took the longest. Depending on the fabric you use, it could be a quick project. The blog I found used jersey knit, which looked super cute and had more of a clean look. I only have cotton fabric so I cut 3 strips of fabric, folded them in half- right sides facing together- and sewed down each one to make a tube. Then I flipped each right-side out so they were more round looking when I braided them. The longest part was trying to flip the tubes out. I finally got smart and clipped a big safety pin onto one side and pushed it through the tube out the other side. But the base of the headband is the same as the scrappy flower headband- wrap and glue. Then I hot glued the braid onto the headband and it was done! The fabric I used on this is called Hunky Dory Mum Sparrow by Chez Moi (Moda).
I am still shocked that these turned out so well (or at least I think they did!). My husband was pretty darn impressed too. Here is one more picture, just because I'm so proud of myself! :)
