DIY Wednesday: Hippie Headband

IN HONOR OF SASQUATCH THIS WEEKEND!

This is the simplest of headbands to make and all this is really required of you is to find an embellishment you love! Just B was drawn to the gold chain found in the ribbon aisle of a craft store but you can use lace, feathers or any other ribbon embellishment.

Here are the steps:

1. Measure decorative ribbon/embellishment to half size of your head
2. Measure clothing elastic to the size of head and pull tight to create elasticity
*note: elastic will typically just be a 4-5 inches longer than embellished piece
3. Glue ebellishment to elastic starting with center of each. Do not pull the elastic while gluing.
4. Glue ends of elastic together, let dry 5 minutes. Ta da!
