You'll Need:
*you'll also need a pair of fabric scissors, and if you have it, modpodge would probably work better than craft glue--I just used what I had*
1. Start spreading glue across the headband, starting at the end of either side. I would squirt some from the bottle onto the headband, then spread it out with the paint brush. Once you've got a couple inches worth, align your lace and begin pressing it into the glue. This can be a little messy, but don'tbe afraid of getting your fingers sticky! you want the lace to adhere really well.
2. Keep spreading glue and applying the lace all across the headband until you reach the end.
3. Trim the edges.
4. Apply a topcoat of glue/modpodge to make sure everything holds. And you're finished! You can try experimenting with different kinds of lace, and if you like, try embellishing, or using different materials. There are really so many different ways to make this simple project your own!
Thank you to my lovely sister for agreeing to model the headband for me!
Love this! Very pretty. (:

Lovely Headband!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment. I bought The Recollections of J.P Ryans strapless stays pattern. I'll do a post with my recommendation (or lack of) when I am done! I loved your Tudor stays! Did you use the Simplicity pattern?
Ooooohhhh... I'm lovin' this!!! I adore headbands (and just hair stuff in general!). Great idea! Will have to try it out soon!

Brings back memories. I remember doing this craft as a kid, but we started with regular fabric, working our way up to lace.
