DIY: Make Over a Boring Headband For Under $8

October 13, 2011

Everybody's got a hair accessory or two they just don't know what to do with. You don't want to throw it away, but you also have absolutely no desire to wear it. Don't worry, though, because you can transform a boring headband into something much, much cooler with just a few bucks and minimal elbow grease. We turned a plain brown plastic headband into this glitzy, feathered piece of autumnal awesomeness, and you can, too. So check out how to do it now.

I watched Miriam put it together, and it really is an easy project. Would love to see photos if anyone does this!

I might give this a try because most of the cheap (in price) headbands are blah to me or looks childish. They cost less than 50 cents since it is on clearance so nothing major if it doesn't come out as planned.

Hi LilyBelleLocks!I used Speedball spray adhesive and it wasn't bad —not too smelly. If you just want to glue feathers and bobs on (not doing the whole rolling in gilt), there are also these awesome things called Glue Dots you can get at a craft store. No smell, super easy to handle, and they really hold things :) I use them constantly!

This is a great idea, what kind of adhesive spray did you use? I've got lots of spare little feathers and these would be fun to make as gifts. I'm pretty sensitive to anything smelly glue wise, so wondering if there's a safe spray or if there's anything you'd recommend :)Thanks :) LilyBelleLocks
