Nothing too fancy, just good old-fashioned cloth headbands. Well, I suppose they are kind of fancy because they are adjustable (just like a bra strap) and reversible so they'll match lots of my daughter's outfits. The bra hardware comes six sets to a package so I made these using the black hardware first. That way, if my pattern didn't quite work and needed refinement, I wouldn't waste the prettier fabrics I bought. (They'll look better with white or clear hardware.) But now that I see these two, even with the black they turned out well.
I just love them - especially that dog one! But the best part is how they are adjustable. At their tightest the headbands fit my three year-old daughter, but at their loosest they'll fit me. So I know they will grow with her and fit for quite a while.
I hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend. Today I'm going to work on putting the finishing touches on the kid's costumes for the 39th Annual Mackinac Island Horse Show - which is tomorrow. I'll be back in a day or two with pictures!

Wow these look great. I love the dogs too. They are so sweet. My daughter at 18 months has tons of hairs so am always on the look out for cool hair bits.
ReplyDeleteI like the little kitty headband. I never thought to make adjustable headbands. Very clever.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea. I really love those headbands. I've made some with ponytail elastic bands, but these are much better.
ReplyDeleteAdorable, as always!
ReplyDeleteThese are brilliant. I love that they'll fit you and your daughter :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool idea! Love these! Have fun at the show!
ReplyDeleteThey're perfect! And the fabrics are just adorable. Have a fun weekend!
ReplyDeleteLove your headbands! I need to get some of that "hardware" to fix a couple of my Daughter's dance leos. They are too expensive to just replace when they still fit her so well!
