Don’t you think it’s time to update the old rhyme: something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue? We’d like to propose adding, ‘and something DIY’. Sure, it won’t rhyme anymore… but every bride will end up with something truly unique for her outfit. Like… this DIY bridal wedding headband! Made of pearls, shimmering beads, ribbon and netting, this headpiece is the perfect compliment to any dream dress.
Materials to make DIY bridal wedding headband:
- Fabric or ribbon-covered headband
- Needle and thread
- Scissors
- Fabric
- Tulle
- Ribbon (satin and organza)
- Beads
Ruffle Ribbon Flowers
- Cut about 8 inches of satin and 16 inches of organza ribbon.
- For your Satin Ruffle Flower, sew a running stitch up the middle of your satin ribbon. When you get to the end of your ribbon gently pull on your stitches to get a ruffle.
- Sew one edge to the other.
- Then repeat this step with the organza ribbon.
- Add any beading or other embellishments that you’d like.
Make Fabric Ruffle Flowers
- Cut out two strips of fabric. You can play around with the lengths and widths to get different sized flowers.
- Fold your fabric in half and sew a running stitch up the cut edges of fabric.
- When you reach the end of your fabric gently pull on your stitches to ruffle the fabric. Sew the edges of your fabric together. Repeat on second piece of fabric.
- Add any beading or other embellishments that you’d like.
Make Tulle Pouf
- Cut out two rectangles of tulle; once again you don’t need to be precise and you can experiment with different sizes.
- Sew a running stitch down three sides of the rectangle, leaving one long edge of the tulle free. Gently pull your stitches to form your pouf. Repeat on second rectangle. Sew both poufs together through the middle.
- Add any beading or other embellishments that you’d like.
Headband
- Sew your ruffle flowers to your headband. You can assemble your flowers in any way you’d like but make sure the pouf is facing downwards.
This DIY wedding headband came from a tutorial with Corrine of Buds and Blooms. And if you discovered your inner DIY diva and just can’t stop at this one project, indulge in all kinds of DIY right here.
