Got Crafts?


I have been crafting up a storm lately. Here is something I have actually finished. These are headbands. I made them from thin stretchy headbands, but they could be done on the regular ones, too. I used some antique crocheted lace for one (My great-grandma made it. Kinda cool!) and a silky fabric for the other. I just cut several layers of each of them. For the red one, I did circles that gradually got smaller & the top is done by folding 2 layers in half & sewing a button on top to finish it. I kinda frayed the edges a little on it, too. To attach it to the headband, I hand sewed it on & then also added a little dab of hot glue to secure it. They turned out really cute. I was copying some that my sister's friend bought at J-Crew for $25. I love being able to make things that I see in the store. More crafty things to come, just as soon as I finish them.

Wow, I am impressed! I have the same stretchy headbands, that gives me some ideas..only I am not as crafty as you. It would never look as nice as yours. Good job!

That is my favorite too. making something way cooler for a lot less. I am excited to see what comes next.
