Feathered headbands have become quite popular in the past few months. Here's an easy way to make your own.
Feathered headbands have become quite popular in the past few months. Here's an easy way to make your own.
Start out with a feather pad (for this particular project, I purchased one but it's relatively easy to make your own), a sturdy headband, buttons for embellishments, and glue. You can really use almost any kind, hot, craft or super.
Position the feather pad where you would like it on your headband, I recommend about an inch to two inches from the base of the headband. Run a line of glue directly onto the headband and press it to the pad.
I set the headband under a pile of books to let it set while I worked on the buttons but this is optional if your glue is quick drying or you have the patience to hold it together.
Start with a large "base" button and layer other coordinating buttons on top and around it. (For a simpler look, you can accent the headband with just one button.)
Glue the button to the base of the feather pad. Tada! Finished! -Experiment with making your own feather pad, that way, you can get the exact look/style you desire. -Try lots of different colored and sized buttons! -Something usually overlooked on these headbands is the band itself. Try different widths, colors and textures.
