Braided Belt Tutorial
Kelli from Presser Foot joined us on the blog before with her tutorial for beautiful fabric flowers, boutonnieres and more. You can tell from her tutorials that she’s not only a talented sewist, but she’s also a fabulous photographer (it’s her day job). For more information on the dress Kelli is wearing below, see her post on Presser Foot (she made it, of course). Kelli used leather cording and rope with her sewing machine for her belt, but you could also use the same technique with your favorite fabrics. Materials: about 12 yards of leather cordingabout 12 yards of roperubber bandsbelt buckleleather machine needlethread and needlestrong scissors (like kitchen scissors)flat hair clip or barrette * The finished belt is about 1 yard long. Step 1 Cut six pieces of leather cording at 2 yards each. Step 2 Gather the tops of the four groupings and put them under something heavy. Step 3 Creating your four strand flat braid. Take the same strand and put it under group three. It’s that simple. Back
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. 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. If you want to try a new easy Boho Hairstyle (TUTORIAL HERE) all you have to do is put the headband on top of your hair (while your hair is down) and then grab your hair at the back and tuck it into the headband.

Hello! My name is Alicia and I have the blog Budget Beautiful DIY. Four years ago, I left a career as a hairstylist in a gorgeous salon to stay home with my two munchkins. Going from two incomes to just one has brought out my creative side not only with finances, but also with fun handmade projects. Between changing diapers, attempts at cooking, and reading books to my kids, I whip up little crafts to bring a touch beauty to our lives. Supplies List:-fabric-needle and thread-headband (I used one covered in fabric from Target)-hot glue gun-button, vintage earring, or rhinestones Make sure all your strips are cut on the bias (on the "bias" means to cut your fabric on an angle so the threads in the fabric are running on the diagonal). Cut one strip of fabric 2" X 9"Cut two strips of fabric 1 1/2" X 9"Cut two more strips as long as you can make them 1" wide to wrap your headband with. Step One: Take the widest strip and fold in half lengthwise about 3/4 of the way as in the picture.

No-Slip Headband Tutorial
Hey, don’t knock it ’till you try it! These babies don’t move a centimeter all.day.long. And no, they do not pull your hair out when you take them off! What’s even better, they don’t take a lot of supplies, they are super quick to make (about 5-10 minutes), and are a great way to use up ribbon or scraps of fabric! Oh! Let me show you how I made each one! Although slightly different, all three “styles” of headband follow the same construction, just with small variations. 1. 2. Once you’ve sewn on your Velcro, this is what you’ll end up with. 3. Just to keep all the sides clear, here is what I mean by WRONG sides. 5. a) Fold down the end of the Velcro ribbon toward the center, just to where the Velcro starts.b) Flip the whole thing over, and repeat using the outside ribbon. Again, only insert it into one side (for now!) 6. 7. But be sure to STOP at the end of each side – don’t sew the other opening shut! Here is how I recommend sewing your headband: 8. 9. And you’re all done! 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
