It’s been a while since I have made anything to do with hair for Addison. She just doesn’t like anything on her head. She prefers her hair directly in her face apparently.
Over the last few weeks she has FINALLY stopped pulling out her hair ties out… so I thought I would give a headband another shot.
I am proud to say that she wore this bow out to dinner and all night long and did NOT touch it a single time! I was so giddy… you would have thought she just pooped on the potty for the very first time!

You can make this in about the time it takes for your hot glue gun to warm up! That’s my kind of accessory!
{Here is what you will need}
– Scrap piece of knit fabric (even an old t shirt will work)
– Scrap piece of lace
– Headband of your choice (I used fold over elastic)
– Hot glue gun
– Scrap piece of lace
– Headband of your choice (I used fold over elastic)
– Hot glue gun
{Tutorial}
1. Cut out a rectangle from the lace and make it the width you want depending on who you are making it for. Then cut out a piece of knit fabric the same width, but make it a little taller than the lace. Lay them on top of each other.
2. Tear of a thin strip of your knit fabric and tie it around the middle of your fabric.
3. Wrap the ends around the center until you get it the size you want, then glue it down in the back.
4. Next take the elastic for your headband and cut it about 2 inches shorter than the measurement around your head (or whoever you are making it for) Overlap the ends and glue it together.
5. Glue your bow right on top of where you glued the headband together.
5. You can add some felt if you want, but the fold over elastic is pretty soft so I didn’t. (If I would have used the skinny elastic I would have to secure it a little better.)
So easiest bow ever right? These would make super awesome gifts for any little girl who doesn’t mind a bow in her hair ; )
Even though she wore it, she wasn’t very happy for the pictures…I have just learned how to hid the tears! : )
