DIY | Ruffle Headband + A Give Away!
One of my favourite headbands to make is the Pleated Ruffle headband. It's cute, versatile, and super easy to make! Those 3 combined make it one of my "go to" gifts.
Materials:
Next place your strip of fabric good side up on your machine and fold a piece of the fabric up into a pleat. Bring your presser foot down, sew over the pleat, keep needle in and then lift foot. While the foot is up fold another pleat up and repeat. Do this until you've achieved the length of ruffle you want or you get to the end of your material. If I want it shorter than the material I have left I just cut it and fold the end of material under and sew.
Next, take your headband and center the ruffle on the elastic. Sew right down the middle of the ruffle. Tip: I usually try to cover the "joining" part of the headband by the ruffle.
Next it's time for embellishment. My favourite is buttons! Decide which end of the ruffle is the top and hot glue your buttons there. I recommend either 1 or 3. Stick to odd numbers, it looks better.
Done! Easy peasy lemon squeezy.
In the gift realm, they go perfectly with these bow holders. Take a picture frame, remove the glass, glue cute paper or fabric to the backing and then glue ribbon across it. Viola!
Because I think these cuties are so fun to make I'm going to do my first give away! If you'd like me to send you a Ruffle Pleated headband for your little girl, yourself or as a gift for someone else you can leave a comment for your chance to win.
Because I dabble in so many things you have a few ways to enter AND you can enter on all of them for better chances :) Just leave a comment on any or all of the following pages telling me of a summer "happy" - something from your summer that just made you happy :)
