My daughters will be performing in our church's Christmas musical and dramatic program next weekend. Perhaps you remember, they both have very long, red hair. To hold their hair off their faces for the performance, I made each a new headband. One silver. One gold.
I did this the same way as I made other headbands, a while back, covering plastic headbands with ribbon. This time, I used silver and gold ribbon. I bought 1 1/4 yards of each metallic ribbon. However I could have done these with just 1 yard, I think. I have about 9 inches of each left over. But at least I didn't have to scrimp as I was winding the ribbon. So a bit left over may be a good thing.
The plastic headbands (from the dollar store), the ribbon and the hot glue cost about $2 per headband. And they took only about 10 minutes each to make. A quick, inexpensive accessory to make for holiday wear.
One daughter will be wearing a black dress with silver accents. So I thought the silver headband would look great for her. The other daughter will be wearing a teal dress with a gold shrug. The gold headband looks like a perfect match.
