HAIR ACCESSORY DIY – FLORAL HEADBAND

2013 is the year of the hair accessory.

I’ve said it before, and you’ll keep hearing it all year – hair accessories are everywhere.

Headbands had a red carpet moment at the Golden Globes. Headbands instantly lift a ponytail or messy bun into occasion hair. Inspired by the floral headpieces seen on Lana Del Ray, I thought I would try my hand at my own floral headband DIY.

Now I love a good DIY blog (Stripes & Sequins, I Spy DIY and A pair & a spare are my favourites) but I rarely make any of their projects. These ladies make it look easy but I never get around to starting a DIY project (let alone finishing one!). When I saw Danimezza make this easy floral headband I knew I could do it too.

Living so close to the city centre, I’m not sure where all these DIYers shop to find their materials. I did the best I could in a city haberdashery shop to find what I needed for my headband.

What you need

• Plain headband
• Glue gun
• Fake flowers

Step-by-step

• Pull the orange flowers off their stems and cut the tip off the back so they lie flat.
• Work out roughly where you want to place the flowers before you begin.
• Put some glue on the back of each flower and attach to your headband.

I struggled to find fake flowers and I found the ugliest bunch of fake flowers. Lucky they were very cheap, and I could see the potential of the orange flowers.

Now I see why DIY is so easy – a glue gun! I just bought a glue gun and it was so cheap and so easy to use. I’m going to be gluing everything that’s not already stuck down!

I am completely orange obsessed at the moment, and I’ll be wearing this floral headband with jeans and a white t, and it’s going to look perfect with a little striped dress I have. If you made this headband with white flowers it could be a beautiful bridal headpiece.
