Based on Recycled Headbands by TRAVIEZA
TOTAL COST: Under 50cents

This in my first ever attempt at re-vamping a headband.

I bought 1/8th of yard of the hearts fabric a week or so ago with this project in mind. The fabric was $2.44/yd. so with tax worked out to be about .35 cents and I still have enough left to make other small project like hair ribbons or scrunchies.

I chose this fabric as I wanted something for Valentine's Day, but also something that I could wear year round without looking it was just for Valentine's Day - this fabric was perfect as it has hearts but some of them are black, so it has a touch of goth.

I had an old headband that was in good condition except the white was looking a little more like grey even after an attempt at washing it. I stripped of the black felt strip that was down the middle the underside of the headband then hot glue gunned the fabric to the headband then re-glued the felt strip.

It turned out ok and I will wear it, but there are a few little puckers that no matter how much I pulled and glued and burned my fingers, it would just not go straight.

When I try this project again, I will cut the fabric wider and cut little notches in it so it will go over the curves better.

Awesome idea - thanks for the inspiration. I've got a dingy old headband I'm going to revamp.
Maybe it will be easier to work with a knit fabric like t-shirt material. I also suggest starting in the middle of the headband and working out from there. Although, judging from how miniscule those puckers look from here, you probably know that already.
