Orange Headband

So I have just had a mad hairband making craze!

It started off with this one, which is without a doubt my favourite, and totally unique! I've never seen any headbands like this one before.

It was a quite complicated to make and I got a few burns off the glue gun but it was all worth it in the end!

To make your own hairband you will need: 

A plain plastic hairband

Hot glue gun

A long thin length of ribbon

Some kind of accessory, bow, flower etc. to glue on.

Steps:

1. Cut a square of the ribbon, put a dot of hot glue in the center of it and press onto the tip of the hairband.       Do the same for the other side.

2. Then get the length of the rest of the ribbon and put a smear of glue on the end of that. Attatch to the end of the headband. Start wrapping it around, make sure you wrap up the four corners of the square you put on the tip.

3. Keep going, pulling it tight until you reach the end. Wrap up the four corners of the other end and fasten the end of the length of ribbon with another smear of hot glue.

4. Glue on your accessory at a pretty angle.

I wish I'd taken some photos whilst I was doing it, it would be far easier to explain!

It is all a bit fiddly to start off with but becomes easier the more you practice.
