Bright 'n' Bold Headband....

Cold & grey + feeling poorly + inside and needing colour =          an accessory that is festivale and fun!

My inspiration for this little piece is a headband called "Camille" on Anthro... but a little out of my price-range and little 'safe' for my colour liking!

To make this cute little number I used:

• A length of sari silk ribbon
• An old long sleeved t-shirt

Step 1:

Cut the sleeve off the shirt and cut two lengths. These two lengths need to go around 2/3 to 3/4 of your head. Cut two lengths of sari ribbon, contrasting fabric etc equal to the length of the shirt sleeve. Intertwine these like the photos below:

This will form the front piece of your headband.

Step Two:

Stitch the ends of each end together

Step Three:

Take a piece of fabric from the body of your t-shirt. This piece needs to stretch outwards and will be the back piece of the headband. Sew it into a tunnel and then turn inside out so you have a nice tube.

Step Four:

Assemble. Fold back the unfinished ends of the tube and poke inside the tube so that they can't be seen. Then poke the front pieces with the ribbons into each side of the tube. Stitch into place and Voila!

Take that bleary day!
