About
Make yourself a couture inspired rabbit ear headband.
I fell in love with all the couture rabbit ears that were going around a few months ago and I spotted a headband similar to this for £180, so I decided to have a go at making my own. Total cost = £7!

Step 1For this project, you'll need a metal two strip headband. The one I bought was from Babyliss and had sequins on, so I removed these before starting.
-
Step 2Snip your beads, so you have one long strip.
-
Step 3Wrap the wire securely around one end of the headband.
-
Step 4Lay the end of the beaded necklace on top of the headband and wrap the wire around the first bead a couple of times, so it's nice and secure.
-
Step 5Continue along one strip of the headband, twisting the wire in between each bead.
-
Step 6When you get to the other side of the headband, secure the last bead and cut off the remaining necklace.
-
Step 7Cut the second beaded necklace and repeat the same process
-
Step 8Stop when you get quarter of the way up the side.
-
Step 9Continue twisting the wire between the beads along the necklace, taking it upwards and away from the headband.
-
Step 10Continue up until you get to the height you'd like your ears to be, then bend the wire down and continue wrapping the beads.
-
Step 11Wrap the ear back on to the base and then continue wrapping the necklace to the headband along the top.
-
Step 12Repeat the same process with your second ear, making sure the two match.
-
Step 13When you've finished wrapping the beads on to the headband, bend your ears in to your desired shape.
-
Step 14Lay the ears on top of your veiling and thread a needle with black thread.
-
Step 15Stitch the veiling on to the ears and then cut the veiling to size.
-
Step 16Repeat with the other ear.
-
Step 17Cut two small strips of black ribbon and heat up your glue gun.
-
Step 18Wrap and glue the wire around the ends, so that you'll be protected for the sharp edges.
-
Step 19They're all ready to wear!
I love them ....making them very soon. ;)
