Post Mardi Gras Headband


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

 After you've gathered your supplies, cut your mardi gras beads, ribbon and (in this case) t-shirt yarn so it is about 3x the length it takes to wrap around your head.  Go big, you can always trim later!
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!

  4. These are beautiful! I don't have any of these beads, but you make me want to get some. I love headbands too! (although sometimes I wonder if I'm too old to wear them. . .)
