The Sylvia Headband

One of my wonderful readers asked me for a tutorial for this headband. I was happy to oblige. It gave me the perfect excuse to make one for myself! LOL.
I call it the Sylvia headband because it reminds me of my Mother-In-Law. This is something she would totally wear. Frilly and feminine, just her style.
Supplies Needed
- Strips of fabric (mine range from 1" to 1.5" wide)
- tulle (the soft kind)
- Headband
- Glue gun
- Glue sticks
- Scissors
Put a dot of glue on the inside of one end of the headband.
Put the end of a strip of fabric on the dot of glue.
Place a small dot of glue on the front and wrap fabric to cover the glue.
Continue wrapping the fabric around the headband.
Until you get to the other end of the headband.
Put a dot of glue on the inside and fold the fabric over onto the glue.
Cut of the extra.
For The Roses
Tie a knot at the end of a strip of fabric.
Put some glue on the knot.
Twist the fabric and push into the glue.
Continue twisting and gluing until you get the desired size rose.
Put some glue on the back of the rose and fold the end of the fabric into the glue.
Repeat making various size flowers.
Embellishing The Headband
Fold tulle in half and then in half again. Cut it 3" wide.
Put a generous amount of glue on the headband.
Push the strip of tulle into the glue pleating it as you go.
Here's what it will look like.
Put some glue on top of the tulle.
Press flower into glue.
Trim the tulle if needed. I like mine to be a little shorter on the front than the back. I also like mine to be uneven. I don't like the tulle to have a straight looking edge. These are just my personal preferences.
Now you have a pretty new headband.

Thanks for sharing tutorial. I love the headband. I am always looking for something new to put on my little niece's hair and this headband is so perfect. I'd probably give this a try.
So pretty!!
I just saw your puffy skirt on Jill's blog "Tuit" and it was so adorable and had to come here to let you know. Also I'm gratful you've given us all the tutorial for not only the skirt, but this head band which is just lovely too. I gotta follow you now. Great work!
My little girls would love something fancy like this! (from Its So Very Cheri)
I admit it- the smile on your model dragged me here. She's just too precious. Great tutorial too, and I haven't seen a glitzy version like this anywhere.

These are so cool. I bought six headbands and have yet to figure out what to do with them. Now if I could only find them.

So lovely! Thank you for this beautiful little tutorial. Since I have 3 boys and no girls, I would love to make one of these for myself. :)
Can I ask, do you know how to attach something like this to a very thin headband? I love the big ones but I am trying to figure out how to make one for my baby girl :)
Thanks for any advice!
Love your blog and this tutorial! Thanks for sharing!!
