Headbands can sometimes be ridiculously expensive, and so I decided to make my own.
You will need :
Elastic
Ribbon
Hot Glue Gun
Glue
(1) First you need about a 4-inch piece of elastic then (2) you need a long strand of ribbon, for the easiest way of measurement wrap it around your head and come to right behind your ears for the best fit. (3) After you have these pieces you will take the glue gun and put a decent amount of glue on the edge of the elastic, (4) next you will place the ribbon in the spot where the glue is, let it set for a second and then press down, because of the materials that are in the two pieces the hot glue seems to create a seal when you look at it. You'll want to repeat steps 3 and 4 on the other side before continuing. (5) Following that cut 2 2-3 inch pieces of ribbon, (6) these you are going to you use to cover the ends giving your headband a more clean and finished look. Add glue to the end section wear your ribbon and elastic meet, set one end of the ribbon on the glue and press, after holding for a second continue to put glue on the opposite side of where you just were and wrap the ribbon around the section. Then add a tiny bit more glue to the front and finish the wrap. (7) Finish this section by cutting off any extra that might be there and them repeat steps 5-7 on the other side. Your finished product should look like step 8 above. If the headband doesn't turn out how you planned or you don't want to make your own I always have mine on sale 3 headbands for $6 on my Etsy shop. Link below.
If they do turn out and you post them on Instagram or Twitter use the hashtag
#mssinkingship
and I can see all of the different ways you made yours work.
Well, I'm ready to set sail (and finish up other post for the week),
Ms. Sinking Ship
