Supplies:
- Headband (mine was busted)
- Ribbon (I used 7/8″ wide for this size bow, but you should adjust measurements below according to ribbon width)
- Scissors
- Hot Glue Gun
(If you’re wondering, I’m gazing down at my toilet.) Let me know if you make one! :)
Other tutorials:
you’re precious! i want to make this.
If you keep posting this cute stuff, I am going to show up on your doorstep (I don’t live that far away, and I teach practically halfway to you!) and DEMAND that we make cute stuff all weekend long. Because a) I am not as crafty as you and b) We need to just become BFF’s already. In real life.
dude. that is so much easier than how i make them.
seriously. why am i working so hard? =)
Sooo cute! I’m gonna make one!
Omg toilet!! Love it!
Amy: No seriously, can you just show up one day? Because everyday I’m more and more convinced we’d be BFFs.
Tia: I’ve become totally lazy. I used to go through 10 more steps, haha
That headband is adorable and you are gorgeous. That is all. Oh yes, and I am definitely going to make one!
That is so freakin’ cute! (And something that craft-challenged me can – hopefully – replicate!) Thank you for sharing. :)
so cute and simple, soon my girls will be getting some cute headbands make for them!
I meant “made” for them. sheesh. it’s early
Cute! Just starred this so I can make one later. Thanks for the tips!
Very cute! Also, I LOVE the wallpaper in your bathroom! Where did you get it?
Adorable! I’m so going to do this. I have a huge drawer full of dozens of different kinds of ribbon. I need to do SOMETHING with it.
I seriously love you for this! Definitely will be making one of these :)
You are the cutest thing in the universe. I love your wallpaper.
Lauren: Thanks! It’s actually a shower curtain. I bought it from Bed Bath and Beyond a few years ago. I love it!
Long time reader, first time commenter!
I totally made a headband and 2 bow clips all the way in New Zealand – thanks to this tutorial!
I also made the necklace the night before and got so many comments about it!
So thankyou for the inspiration and bing on lots more tutorials!
I love it!!!
I love your shower curtain, too. And your headband. They always hurt my head when I wear them and it makes me so sad.
This is too cute!! Love it :) Must make one. And the red bathing suit is fab too. I can totally see why your hubby said that. It’s a sassy number!
I LOVE this idea – I’m DEFINITELY going to try it.
thanks for posting this awesome tutorial – I just got a job waitressing at a trendy restaurant downtown and need some cute things to pull my bangs back!
I love your bangs here! SO PERFECT OMG. And your top. It’s soooo cute! And the pearls look adorable too. eeek. Gimme that headband! Can we make this this weekend?!

i’m a little late commenting on this, but i stumbledupon it. i <3 it!!
I cant believe how amazingly easy this is. Its, easy and cute aswell, Im going to try using different colors of ribbon for this.
Thats amazing! The headband changed colors! ;)
This is such a cute idea! I’m most definitely making one, like ASAP. As in, as soon as I get home from work.
Going to try and do this.
I literally just busted my headband in the exact same spot as yours and thought it had been rendered useless. I seriously regret throwing it away now…
super cute. I like your site here. You and I are close in age and I also have a toddler and a new addition so I’m feeeelin’ ya lol.
thats so cool- i would never have thought of creating something like that out of a headband and i wear headbands a lot !
very simple but pretty idea
This looks like something Blair Waldorf would wear thus making this so much more awesome!
Amazing I akin to your site now. You and I are lock in age and I also have a child and a new calculation so I’m feeeelin’ ya lol.
made two really cute headbands!!!
finally, something to do with my broken ones!
thanks!!!
diana
This is really cool!! I made a one with an old headband and royal blue ribbon. To jazz it up a little more, I attached a small silver flower sequin with a royal blue rhinestone in the middle to the center of the bow. fabulous!! Im going to make all my friends their own headband for the holidays!
i made a blue one for myself and it turned out so well that im making ones for all of my friends for the holidays!!!!
It’s great.
I do this.
And it is very useful to me.
Thanks for the great article.
