Day #7- Haute Halloween headband

Hello from LollyJane again! :)

This is Kristi, the other twin, and today I'm going to show you how to make a

haute Halloween headband.

Supplies needed:

• Festive Halloween bow ($1 bin at Target)
• Nylon knee socks (clearance at Target)
• Alligator clips (found mine at Sally Beauty supply)
• (2) 4" piece of (scrap) ribbon
• Sewing machine & Hot glue

 

Step 1: Remove bows from standard clips

Step 2: Fold the foot of the knee sock into the opening and fold extra fabric under.

Step 3: Stitch it into place with your sewing machine or by hand.

Step 4: Hot glue one of your 4" ribbon strips to the back of the headband (covering the folds.)

IMPORTANT: Don't glue to the front of the headband: you need a gap for your alligator clip.

This is what the front of your headbands should look like :)

Step 5: Make sure your ribbon is snug (so the bow won't budge during wear) by testing out the alligator clip.

Step 6: Glue to bow onto the alligator clip.

OPTIONAL: You can glue a second scrap ribbon in the "mouth" of the alligator clip to hide the hot glue marks if you want it to look nice & tidy :)

That's it!

Just clip your cute bows onto the headband- because they simpy clip on, they're interchangeable so you can use them at non-Halloween times, too!

PS: Did I mention I'm the twin with the son? ;)

He sure makes an ugly girl!  hee hee hee
