This is a little leather head band I whipped up for Bea as she's queen of the super-goths. I also made myself a skinnier one for pushing back the sweat-fest fringe at Glastonbury, laaadies.
What you'll need:
- One strip of leather/pleather or if you fancy, some sturdy ribbon
- Elastic (about 20p a bundle in good fabric/craft shops)
- Strong thread (i'm using denim thread)
- A needle
- Fabric scissors
- STUDS.
Step one: measure the material to reach from ear to ear over your head, then measure the elastic the opposite way, then minus roughly 5cm-7cm.
Step two: thread your needle, fold the thread in half and tie at the end, this makes it stronger than a single thread that you'd usually use.
Step three: fold the end of the material in half with the elastic sandwiched in between. Use the two loose ends of the folded elastic first...
...and sew all four layers together.
Step four: repeat on the other side.
The basic head band is now done, WAHOO.
Now for the golden icing...
Press the studs in with your thumb and flatten them at the back with a tea spoon/pen/cuticle pusher
keep checking after each stud to check the distance is in proportion
Now wear it around the house like a damn sexy pirate.
Have fun! xx
