2 Cute Easy headband redos!

As promised, Here is how I made adorable headbands with some leftover ribbon and some rescued lace from a friend's old pillowcases!

Materials:

Headband(dollar store is a GREAT place to look!)
Lace and ribbon scraps
Glue gun
scissors

#1
Directions:  (this is just what I DID....use your imagination and switch it up however you want!)

First I took this rescued pillowcase lace and cut two shell shapes side by

side from the edges.

I picked out two small rosettes (from my Leftover Lace tutorial)

Next I folded the lace shells over each other and arranged

them with the rossettes in a way that I liked and just

Glued em on.....VOILA...HEADBAND!

#2.

Directions:

I took  some more of that rescued lace out......

then I  cut a length just enough longer than the headband to wrap under the sides of the headband



I hot glued the headband from one side to the other making sure to

glue the undersides well.

*An option here would be to lace some ribbon of a

 contrasting color through. 

Or to glue some over top.  BUT, .....

I did neither!  This way, it will match more things.

Raegan(my oldest) modeled for me!

She loved this one!.......

But Buck loved it more!

Basic Easy Ribbon or Lace Hair Clips

These clips are SO much fun and SO easy too! (If I can do it.......ANYONE can! lol) 

Materials:

Ribbon or Lace (preferably two sided...if it has one white side and one patterned, it just doesn't turn out as nice)

Hot Glue Gun or Needle and thread(Some people prefer to hand stitch, but, I find the hot glue gun to be faster and just as nice)

Alligator clips or bobby pins

Felt

Optional...... a lapel pin finding (these rosettes make great pins too!)

DIRECTIONS:

To start, roll up one end of the ribbon tightly for about 3 rounds (or make a knot in the end first if you find it easier to wrap that way).

Next, begin flipping the ribbon AWAY from the direction you are rolling it.  Hot glue along the bottom as you fold to secure the ribbon.

This ribbon was white on one side, so I folded it in half as I went to keep the stripes on both sides.

Continue wrapping and flipping till you have your desired size, then clip, turn the end under the rosette and glue it to the bottom.

Next, cut a circle out of the felt to fit the bottom of the flour but not show from the top. Glue it to the bottom .Either glue on a lapel pin backing or Cut a rectangle of felt the same length as the diameter of the circle and glue just the ends to the circle of felt.

Then, add a bobby pin or an alligator clip and .......

                                                    

Stick it in your hair!



 Have you made these?  I would love it if you posted with a link to yours!



leftover lace and ribbons , rosettes , headbands , pins , and hair clippies...OH MY!

I fought the glue gun and the glue gun won!  A couple days ago, I got out my leftover/unused lace bag and a glue gun and went to town!  I had SO much fun!  I got to use the headbands from my "frugal finds for future fun " post too!   In all, I made one lapel pin, two headbands, and 5 hair clippies!

I thought I'd share some completed pics.  There will be some basic tutorial to follow in subsequent posts if your interested!
