Sorry this one is late too! I had so much fun making the headband I simply had to add another accessory to the collection. Once again all the items I found at either the craft store, or my own craft supply.
For the base I found this "ribbon strand" at Michael's on clearance for $1.99. It's perfect because it already had the findings on each end. Now if you don't find one of these you can easily use wide ribbon, or flat or gathered lace and simply add the findings at the end yourself. The little clamps are super easy to apply.
You will need a toggle clasp or clasp of your choice.
Next I just used some of the rhinestones I had in my collection. These are from the bridal department at Michael's.
I had this pendant lying around in my supplies and I simply bent off the ring. If you want to make your bracelet longer simply use any type of chain you like.
Use some of your trusty E6000 glue and jewelry pliers
And that's it! Check out my Youtube Tutorial to see how I did it, and if you try this take a pic and post it on my facebook!
So sorry this posting is so late. I have been swamped and I apologize for the delay. Ever since I saw the first Gatsby preview I got inspired by the fashion in it. I've always loved that time period and so I thought it would be fun to try my own 1920's style headband inspired by the movie.
I personally think that this is something you could wear to a prom, in a wedding, or a special event. I love being different from everyone else and I guarantee you this will make you a standout in a good way. Best of all it's really inexpensive to make and quite quick as well. First you need a base for your headband. This one is sequined and I picked it up at Forever 21 I think last year for like $2.00. You can use pretty much any type of stretchy headband you might already have or you can make one with simple wide elastic.
Next I took this chiffon flower pin that I had bought for a different DIY but ended up never using it. The pin idea is great because you could actually end up interchanging it for different looks.
These rhinestone embellishments came from the bead section of Michael's. They were on clearance for $2.99 but I think originally like $5.99
You will need a needle and thread. Because of it being stretchy, sewing is better than glue just so you can make sure it doesn't come off.
These are some other options you could use for your headband. A feather clip or pin, clip or post earrings that you remove the back from, and simple rhinestones.
