Fabric headband
Hair accessories are an intregal part of the female wardrobe. They come in a variety of colors, fabrics and styles. They are just as diverse as the clothes they are designed to compliment. For those who enjoy creating their own styles or are merely looking to save money by producing their own fabric headbands, this guide offers welcome advice.
Fabric for headbands
Plastic and wire headbands can be purchased at reasonable costs at dollar stores or through online wholesale merchants. However, for a completely fabric headband, small pieces of material can be sewn to a small strip of elastic to create an attractive and comfortable hairpiece.
Because the surface space of these headbands is so small, finding pieces of unique and beautiful fabric to wrap them with can be affordable as well as fun.
Find fabric for your headbands from old pieces of clothing, abandoned bridesmaids' and prom dresses, vintage scarves, quilting scraps, old curtains or just about anything created with textiles.
Creating the headband
An easy way to attach fabric to a headband is by using a hot glue gun. The fabric will adhere well to the base and the ease of use saves time over tedious sewing.
Tying fabric to your headband is another easy and cost-effective method of styling your own hair accessories. Experiment with different textures and techniques to come up with your own unique version of the fabric headband.
Embellishing
Adding embellishments to your headband is a great way to dress it up with flair. Items such as rhinestones, beads, bows, lace, polymer clay scupltures and any number of found objects work fabulous as headband adornments. These can easily be applied to the headband with a hot glue gun or craft wire.
