{DIY} Bridal Headband

I created this bridal headband based on the inspiration shoot that we posted a couple of weeks ago. (If you missed it, you can see it here.) Between being sick last week and a visit from my parents this weekend, I’m finally posting it today! Woooo!

This was a relatively simple DIY project. Here’s the how-to:
Materials:

• ribbon ($2)
• elastic ($1)
• thread ($2)
• rosettes ($3)
• needle & scissors

1. Measure the elastic by pulling it around your head to your desired tightness, add an inch.

2. Overlap the elastic by one inch (as seen in the above picture), begin sewing.

3. Make sure that you have the elastic to the desired stretchiness, and begin sewing the ribbon on. Begin with a bit of the ribbon folded over for a cleaner look. (I went for a home-spun look, so I kept my stitches large.)

4. Continue sewing, leaving about an inch at the back of the headband of just elastic to allow stretchiness.

5. Sew the lace rosettes onto the top of the headband.

Tada!
