Easy to make ribbon headbands

Hey, hey hey!
If you don't want hair in your face, I have a cute, stylish, preppy, cheap and easy way to do it. Ribbon headbands!
What you need:

•  less than a foot and a half but more than a foot of pretty ribbon, 1/4 to 2 inches wide (a good place to get cheap, pretty ribbon is Micheal's, they have 3 yard rolls for $1!)
• a hair elastic (the ones without the metal parts are better) of any colour
• a glue gun, needle and thread or sewing machine (optional)

here's what you do


1. Cut the ribbon so it goes almost all the way around your head, leaving approximately an inch of space. (Keep in mind you want the hair elastic to stretch a bit so it keeps your hair back.)

2. With the wrong side of the ribbon facing up, take the end and pass it under the hair elastic and through the centre.

3. Now either tie the end around the elastic, or for a more finished look, pull about 1-2 inches (depending on how long you cut it) of ribbon through the middle of the elastic, and glue-gun or sew the two wrong sides together.

 




4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 with the other end.






Your head band looks great as it is, but if you want to make it a little more fancy, you can add rhinestones, embroidery or my personal preppy favourite, a cute homemade ribbon bow like these:

Those are just three types of bows you can make, but there are hundreds!


(P.S. Sometimes it may look like I can't spell but I spell the English way not the American.)

Easy dressing

 Dressing stylish on a budget, or with limited space, especially on vacation, is easier than you think.  

All you need is plain, colourful t-shirts and basics like denim jeans, skirts, shorts etc. Then all you need to do is accessorize.  Pile em on and go crazy! A long necklace, patterned cardigan or jacket, chunky bracelets, patterned shoes, big earrings, the possibilities are endless!

A great place to get cheap, cute accessories is forever 21, or just make them yourself like me!
