Hey Everybody!!
Here’s a fun fashionable DIY project for you! I’ve bought a couple of these beaded headbands from stores like Anthropologie but they usually cost anywhere from 15$ to 40$, so I decided to see if I could make one for myself. Turns out this was a really fun and manageable project so I hope you enjoy!
WHAT YOU NEED:
Assortment of Beads
Needle/Thread
Trim (I found mine at Fabricland)
Scissors
Elastic
PREPARATION
I took the trim and measured it across the top of my head, then cut it at that length, so it would fit my head. The length I chose was approx. 12”.
STEP ONE & TWO:
Using the needle and thread, I weaved through the trim following the basic pattern of the trim. I began by bringing the needle through the backside (so you won’t see the knot) to the front, threading a bead onto the headband, then bringing the needle through to the back again. I did this basic pattern for each section of the headband before I tied a secure knot (rather than tying a knot after each individual bead which would take FOREVER).
STEP THREE:
Once you are pleased with the amount of beads you placed on, it’s time to finish the headband by sewing elastic onto the back. Place the headband on your head again but this time measure the distance between the two ends of the headband. I like my headbands tight, so I cut the elastic a little bit shorter than the actual distance so it would feel tight when I put it on. As you can see from the picture, I am not an expert sewer, so just tack the elastic to the trim as best as you can… it’s at the back of your head so no one will really see it anyways!

Let us know what you think!
Enjoy =)
