Save Money, Look Cute, and DIY Your Very Own Retro Headband
The following post was originally featured on A Charming Project and written by Enid Gonzalez, who is part of POPSUGAR Select Latina.
I love weekend routines, and our favorite thing to do on Sundays is walk over to our local coffee shop. Last week, the barista said that we can just say, "the usual" and he'll know it's a cappuccino for me and americano for Michael (finally, a barista that understands our coffee obsession, bless his heart). We usually try to grab a seat at the window and observe how dogs look like their owners. After that, we'll walk over to the farmers market or grocery store and buy our produce for the week.
Since I love my weekends, I thought it would be fun to share my favorite weekend outfit (polka dot top from H&M and green trousers from Anthropologie). But no outfit is complete without a touch of DIY! So today I'm sharing how I made this matching headband to go with my outfit.
Did I mention it's reversible?!
I only wore the red side of the headband in these photos, but it's totally reversible, and I found a green retro pattern to complement the polka dots, which I'm very excited about! It took me less than 30 minutes to make the headband (because my sewing skills are pretty beginner level), but I plan on making dozens and dozens of these, and I think you will, too. Two fabric quarters will give you 3-4 headbands so you get your money's worth and then some.
You will need:
- Sewing machine (or just needle and thread)
- Pencil
- Ruler
- Scissors
- Piece of drawing paper
- Sewing pins
- Thread (I just ended up using the beige)
- Fold-over elastic (I only used about 3 inches out of the 1 yard)
- 2 fabric quarters
