Ribbon Wrapped Headbands DIY. I made these as a few last minute gifts:
I used plain plastic headbands purchased from Target and soft satin ribbon. You can also order the plastic headbands from The Soda Pop Shop here. The Aleene’s Tacky Spray (make sure to use an acid free spray) is used to hold the ribbon in place.
I bought these fabulous beaded bows from Target Trim in L.A to embellish the hairbands with. They run about $6 each retail (maybe less if you are wholesale) and come in a variety of colors. You can place an order over the phone to them.
To start wrapping my headbands I sprayed the ends of the plastic band with the tacky spray:
I folded a piece of ribbon over the bottom of each band end:
Then I spray the entire headband:
Starting at one end, I began carefully wrapping my ribbon around the band:
Once I reached the other side I just tucked the ribbon under and secured it with a little hot glue:
A finished band:
Using hot glue I attached the beaded bows to the top of the hairband:
A great way to make your own headband to match whatever embellishment you want to add to the top!
Love this and glad you are feeling good enough to keep creating! Praying for your healing. I just might have to get some of those beaded bows, too cute!
Oooooo, this is a Must Do project for my daughter. So nice that it doesn’t look like every other headband out there too! Thanks!
SO CUTE Ashley! Need to find those bows somewhere around me…
If we ever have a little girl! Do you think Im too old to wear one of these?
Dear Ashley,
You are an amazing woman. I think about you quite a lot and say to myself “Choose Joy” quite often during the day. I had my own bout with breast cancer 18 (can it be that long ago?) years ago. Mine was pretty mild compared to what you are facing. I feel that you are going to come through this ok in the end. The journey is going to suck, but I think you will be around to see Boo grow up. I’m thinking of you and sending good thoughts your way.
