I saw yet another ruffle headband at Target. I tried to figure out how they made it and whipped up this little lady! It literally took 10 minutes and I used scraps of materials I had lying around!
 |
| Supplies: hot glue gun, scissors, headband, fabric (I just used a tiny scrap, you don't need much!), felt, needle & thread OR sewing machine. |
 |
| Cut two strips of fabric. The first strip is 10" x 3" and the second is 10" by 2". You could use longer strips if you wanted your ruffle to be longer. |
 |
| Stack the strips on top of each other. |
 |
| Sew the two strips together. I used the WIDEST setting on my sewing machine and sewed right down the middle. DON'T BACK STITCH! If you don't want to use a sewing machine, you could do a simple basting stitch by hand. |
 |
| After the two pieces are sewn together, pull on one of the strings at the end to ruffle the fabric. |
 |
| After the fabric is ruffled, tie the threads off with knots and trim with scissors. |
 |
| Cut two strips of felt that are a little shorter than your ruffle. Mine were about 1"x 4". |
 |
| Put a small dot of hot glue on the back side of the ruffles and fold the end over to give a finished look. |
 |
| Glue one strip of felt to the back of your ruffle. |
 |
| Decide where you want your ruffle to attach to the headband. |
 |
| Glue the other strip of felt on and attach your ruffle! |
 |
| Ta-Da! So easy! |
