Headbands love Ruffles too you know!

If I can't wear Jewelry like the best of them I'll kick it up a notch with a fun headband most of the time! It makes me feel current, together and like I'm putting in the effort to complete a look! So what if I'm 30 years old and have a baby snot snail trial on my shoulder! At least my head looks good right!?

Headbands aren't just for Grammar School girls! Mom's can get away with them too!

Have a go at this super easy and versatile Ruffled Headband!



What you'll need:

• Two 20" cut pieces of 1 1/2" Grosgrain Ribbon
• Straight Pins
• Headband
• Sewing Machine
• Hot Glue gun and Glue
  

It's simple really! Just start gathering your ribbon and making pleats being sure to pin them in place as you go!

This is how it will look when it's been Ruffled or Pleated! Burn the edges of the ribbon with a lighter to prevent fraying.


Sew a straight stitch directly down the center!

Repeat the same thing on your second piece of ribbon but this time sew a straight stitch down the edge and not the center!


Using your Glue Gun glue the ruffled ribbon that has been sewn on the edge onto your headband. Glue it's sewn edge down. You will want it to cascade down the side.

And lastly glue on your other ruffled piece layering it on top of the first! Glue its center down.

I love keeping it versatile! This simple design allows you to add to it. I pin on broaches that can easily be changes to match any outfit!



Can you believe I scored those beautiful Broaches for $1.99 each!!! DownEast Clearance Center comes through again! They had a huge selection of Ann Taylor and JCrew accessories all for just $1.99! They all retailed originally for$25-$40 !I bought up a huge collection and when I made this headband I knew they would be the perfect little touch!
