Braided Headband

Yeah!!! I made my first braided headband! =) I'm all about repurposing things...so, I dug through some t-shirts that I wasn't wearing and started cutting them up, baby!! New headbands here I come!!! =) I found a great tutorial from this blog www.makeit-loveit.com I don't think I could explain it any better than she does, so, get over there and try it out for yourself! These headbands are going to be my new friends!!!

I cut all these flowers off a shirt that was too big for me. The headband is almost finished at this point....just have to connect both ends cover up the stitching and sew on a cute flower....

The back...a smart way of covering your stitching...you'll see on the tutorial.... 

Tadah!!!! what do you think?!!? I love it!

I love this braid! My mom told me that this was a similar braid that my grandmother used to use to make her own rugs...so that was cool...I may try the same braid to make my own rugs out of shreds of sheets. You can get some neat bed sheet fabrics at Ross for super cheap...I think I may have found my next project! =)

What do you think?!?! Try it out...headbands are getting so expensive anymore...so why not save yourself some money and make your own! =) Happy new head gear! =)
