Glam up your winter headbands!

Have any plain winter headbands laying around? I know I do, and in almost every color too. But they are all very simple, and boring. Well not anymore. Here is a quick and easy way to glam up your winter headbands so you can stay fashionable all winter long. Here's what you'll need to get started....

What you will need:
  • plain winter headband
  • patterned fabric
  • ribbon of your choice
  • fabric glue
  • scissors 
Steps:
  1. Start out with a regular, (preferably knit) winter headband, and lay it flat on a table.
  2. Take your printed fabric and lay that out completely flat as well.
  3. Using the scissors, cut out a piece of your fabric that is approximately 12 inches by 6 inches.
  4. After cutting this out, take the piece and fold it in half so you now have a 6 inch by 3 inch rectangle of fabric.
  5. Glue the fabric together so the pattern is on both sides of the rectangle.
  6. Now place your rectangle of fabric, and place it directly on top of your winter headband.
  7. Using the scissors, cut a piece of the ribbon of your choice, big enough to go around the winter headband and piece of fabric so approximately 2 to 3 inches.
  8. Wrap the ribbon around the center of the fabric that is placed on the winter headband, and pull it tight, so it looks like a bow.
  9. Using the fabric glue, glue the ends of the ribbon together on the inside of the winter headband so the ends of the ribbon aren't visible.
  10.  If the corners of your bow are sticking up, or falling down, you can add a dab of glue to the corners of the fabric, and stick it to the headband to make sure the bow is completely secure.
  11. Let dry, and you're finished! Now you can still be fashionable, even when it is freezing outside.
This one is from a store, but here is an idea of what the finished product should look like. Sure you could buy one from a store, but making them yourself allow you to be creative and show your own personal style.
