Have some mardi gras beads hanging around just begging to be transformed into something fun, something that you will actually wear?
Well, search no further! It's time to make a super simple, comfy headband!
I love headbands--they are mom friendly--meaning they get my hair out of my face and they add a little glamor to my look--without any hassle.
Supplies:
Mardi Gras Beads
Ribbon/t-shirt yarn
Ponytail Holder
E-6000 super glue
Then, fold the three pieces of material in half, and string through the pony-tail holder.
Braid
When you get to the end of the materials, measure on your head to see if you need to trim. When trimmed, tie the ribbon and t-shirt material around the pony-tail holder. Don't include the beads in the knot because it will just create a huge uncomfortable knot. Instead, apply a dab of E-600 to where the beads pass through the knot.
When dry, trim if needed--and you're done!
I made three and I love them. I wear them all the time (like right now!!!)
Thanks, as always for stopping by!



These are so pretty. I would make them longer and maybe wear them as necklaces! Love the idea!
