Double Strand Lace Headband. Today’s headband DIY is how to make a Double Strand Headband. This headband is made almost exactly the same way as the Single Lace Headband. All you need is 36 inches of lace or ribbon 1 inch width or narrower.

I used 1/2 inch width lace from Joann’s Fabrics. 3 1/2 inches of braided elastic 3/8 inch width or larger. Cut the lace so that you have two strands that are 18 inches long. Lay the end of one length of lace over the other as the picture shows. After you have the ends lined up lay the elastic over the top so they overlap by 3/4 of an inch or so. Then with a sewing machine or by hand stitch across the two layers of lace and the elastic. After you have sewn one side do the same to the other side. I leave mine this way because usually the elastic and stitching are hidden by my hair.

Boho Hair Style. I have been asked several times how I achieved the bohemian hair style pictured in my DIY: Double Strand Lace Headband. It is very easy but a few pictures should help you achieve this simple and beautiful look. To make the hair style more complex you can braid small strands of hair on the underside. It is not nessicary for the final boho look just something extra you can add. Place your headband over the top of your hair…like so. Starting at one side start to tuck your hair into the headband. Continue to tuck your hair all the way around and roll it in with your hands until it is the size you want all the way around. Once it is even, you can pull a few wisps out if you like or keep it smoothly tucked in.

How to curl your hair with a sock! No heat. Hair Romance — Love Your Hair. The North Face Women's Jackets & Vests WOMEN'S DENALI JACKET. October 11, 2012 If you've owned a Denali jacket before, you know that up until fairly recently they were made of all new materials, had plenty of room in the arms and torso for layering and pit zips for functionality. Also, unless you know to look for these specific changes, you wouldn't necessarily notice (I didn't.) Now, they run at least a size smaller (I'm an XS/S usually (I'm 5'3 and 105lbs) and I needed a M), are made of recycled material (which is enviro-friendly but incredibly less comfortable than they used to be and don't have the same 'heft') of course there's the issue of it being a functional jacket without function. It's far too small to layer beneath, they've made it shorter in the torso, fitted in the arms and removed the pit zips (so no skiing or other function possible).

If you're looking for a jacket for a 16 year old who wants a label or you just want to have a incredibly expensive sporty fleece that you don't need to do anything in - buy this horrible re-do.
