Recycled Ruffled Headband

To make this headband you can use any lightweight material. I used an old chiffon skirt.


Tools & Materials
• Approximately a quarter yard of lightweight material (chiffon, organza, cotton, etc)
• Scissors
• Sewing needle and thread in appropriate color
• Wide Headband
• Hot glue gun
• Straight pins
• Ruler
• Piece of paper
• Pencil/pen
• Buttons Optional

Step 1 Begin by making a pattern

Take the piece of paper and make a circle with a 2.5” diameter, cut out this circle to use as a pattern. Cut out 30 circles using the fabric of your choice (fig. A).

Another thing you could do would be instead of buttons add sea shells, polished rocks, shellacked gummy fruit..ects.

all very good ideas, i use buttons for everything since i inherited multiple button jars

Great recycling project! I bet it would work great with making circles from plastic bags, especially if you use zig-zag scizzors!

[Bard]

wouldn't the hot glue melt the plastic bags?

[kolleenk]

you could probably use dryer sheets and they wouldn't melt

[katz]

I haven't tried, but would think that hot glue would melt them slightly, but not in a way to spoil them but in a way that would add extra bonding - kind of fuse them together
