I love putting headbands on Gwen (maybe it's because she's lacking in the hair department? hehe), but I can never find any in person, that I like. I've been meaning to order some online but I just haven't. Not too long ago, I was searching around on Pinterest, and came across a few DIY instructions for headbands and rosettes. I went to JoAnn Fabrics the other day and armed myself with all of the necessary tools. Gwen has been taking some pretty substantial naps lately, so I got to work..
The first one I tried was the double ruffle. I know, it's seriously sloppy! But it was a first attempt and I'm calling it "shabby chic". I plan on doing this one again with different fabric and I'm hoping that I can get it a bit neater next time.

This one I kind of just figured out on my own. I bought fake flowers, but when I took them off the stem, the plastic piece was too bulky and would've been uncomfortable for Gwen. So I took the flowers apart and then sewed them back together before I attached them to the headband. I anticipate making many more of these, all different sizes and colors. I love the way it came out.

Donna just gave me a TON of this pink fabric, so I started making these rosettes. Guess what I'll be busy doing next week :)
These look awesome Lauren! I love the rose one too :) I can only imagine all the fashionable headbands Gwen will have throughout her childhood now :) I need to get more familiar with my sewing machine some day soon too! ha
ReplyDeleteThanks Megs!
ReplyDeleteI'm still learning, and it helps that these headbands don't require too much sewing!
