Get ready for music festivals with this super cute headband!
With summer and all the music festivals, I thought I'd share a DIY project - Rope Knot Headband - you might want to try whether you're heading off to the music festival or for to add a little hippie vibe to your summer outfit.

I'm not one that looks great with headbands, but I must say, this would looks so cute with some cut off denim shorts and a white crochet blouse!
