DIY bow

Depending on the purpose, material, shape and decor, the names are different - headband, turban, solokha, elastic band, hoop, bandana, headphones, etc. The uniqueness of the headband is in a variety of style trends - sports, classic, vintage, Greek, doll, thematic.

Models for infant girls are a work of art, often representing compositions of openwork with a flower. Skilled needlewomen manage to create a beautiful, unusual headband even from nylon tights.

Main types:

• narrow headbands - ribbons, laces or ribbons to decorate a Greek hairstyle for a girl;
• wide – sporty, for cold weather or fixing thick, curly, long curls;
• synthetic materials - usually used to decorate headbands;
• summer - made of cotton, tulle, knitwear, lace, chiffon, stretch, denim, silk, organza and other thin fabrics;
• warm - headbands made of fur, cashmere or acrylic yarn, wool, velvet, felt.

Let's take a closer look at the different shapes and decors of fashion accessories for girls.

Headscarves

This is the simplest, but very elegant type of headband. A thin scarf can be folded or twisted. You can wrap it around your head and tie a bow or knot on the side or top. This season, a headscarf is a must-have for a little girl. It doesn’t matter whether it’s a designer scarf or a democratic option from a mass-produced line.

It is better to wear a headband in its original form, like our grandmothers. If you do designer embroidery, paint it using the batik technique, or trim it with beads (rhinestones, buttons), then even a baby girl will look like a real fashionista.

Ribbons

This material is most suitable for decoration. Rep, satin, airy stripes are used for weaving or different techniques for making flowers. Can be worn as a stand-alone hair decoration.

Solokha

This is a boho chic headband that has a flexible base with wire inside. It is securely and easily attached to the head with one movement of the hand. Simply twist the ends of the bandage to form a knot or bow. This is a very convenient accessory for the head, especially if the girl is mobile. The headband is firmly held on the hairs, without falling off even with strong wind, running or active movements.

For young girls, solokha is usually performed without wire. It is better to use knitwear for the headband, which, due to its properties, sits well on the head. Retro pin-up style can be done simply: gather your curls in a high bun and put a solokha on top of your hair. Tie a pretty bow at the front or side.

Rubber bands

The optimal choice is a thick headband 15 mm wide. Rubber bands come in glitter, plain, multi-color, and printed. The material is very soft, stretches well and does not squeeze the head. Often, even for newborn girls, elements for insertion are cut out of it, and for older princesses you can make a completely rubber headband.

Bandanas

If you fold the scarf diagonally, you get a triangle scarf. The bandana is tied on the girl’s head in the usual way, but a double knot is formed not under the chin, but at the back (above the free edge).

There are ready-made products for sale. You can create your own masterpiece of a headband with embroidery or other original decor.

Turban

The peculiarity of this bandage is a wide strip with a twisted knot in the center of the front. It may have one twist. In this option, a two-color solution looks most stylish - small peas on the left, large polka dots on the right.

A turban on the head can be made with two or more twisted links, moving the center slightly to one side. The accessory is easy to sew or knit with your own hands. Older girls often wear it on their head instead of a warm hat. For babies, it is better to choose bright colors or the color of clothes.

Turban

Because of the drawstring in the center, many people confuse this headband with a turban. However, there is a significant difference. The turban does not have a twist; the center accent is made either by a hidden thread or decoration (ring, large buckle, brooch). Head models decorated with stones, beads, and metal elements look very stylish.

A large knit turban in an oversized style is suitable for cold weather, and any fabric is suitable for summer.

Fatin

This is a transparent shell, an almost weightless mesh, immersing the girl in a fairy tale. The fabric is produced in any color of the rainbow; it can shimmer, shine or be matte. There are canvases with etched, embroidered or three-dimensional designs on sale.

The mesh is ideal for decorating headbands for girls. It can be sprayed with silver or golden shades. Many craftswomen trim fabric with sequins, rhinestones, pearls, beads or appliqués.

Headbands in the form of headphones

This stylish accessory is easy to make with your own hands. This is a regular headband with fur pompoms attached. You can sheathe and decorate the base or elements for insulating the ears.

Sports headband

This option is made of elastic material that fits tightly to the head and absorbs moisture well. Such headbands are usually produced with the logos of famous sports brands. This is a must-have for girls who are interested in dancing, tennis, running or any other type of active leisure.

Bows

Such head models are adored by very little children or elementary school girls. There are a lot of dressing options. One large or miniature bow, corrugated, double, with an elastic band, rim, hoop, or formed from soft ends. For little girls, they are often embroidered with miniature elements.

Headbands with ears

The rabbit band style model looks funny and unusual. More often these are knitted or knitted headbands, decorated with the ears of a rabbit, giraffe, panda, frog, fox, etc. A frame is inserted into a thin fabric; woolen ones hold their shape well.

DIY baby headbands

The decoration is easy to make yourself if you follow the instructions. For a newborn girl, it is better to take openwork lace 1-4 cm wide. For a baby from 6 months to a year, you can prepare a soft elastic band up to 2-3 cm. For older girls, a regular plastic headband, which needs to be covered with a beautiful fabric, is suitable.

Headband decorations

Decoration can be made from any materials:

• flowers, bows;
• fluff, feathers, sparkles, beads, pearls;
• shells, buttons, pebbles;
• wooden or metal baubles, fringe, etc.

When making a headband, look at the girl's age. The blanks are usually secured with glue, which makes the work easier. It is recommended to connect the details of dressings for infants with threads.

Flower on head

There are a lot of configurations - roses, daisies, peonies, dandelions, lilies, the list is endless. Much depends on the size of the flower with which you are going to decorate the headband. The larger the part, the better the material should hold its shape.

Experienced craftswomen use felt as a universal fabric for making flower arrangements for headbands. The trend is for thin rubber bands with miniature flowers, buds, or just a scattering of petals.

Kanzashi

This is a Japanese technique for making bows, for which you can use different materials. The authors of kanzashi choose fabrics from organza, tulle and satin ribbons. The point is to combine small fragments into one whole. Each piece is a square folded in a special way. There are many such folding methods.

Foamiran

This is an innovative material and a trendy finished decoration. Foam or foamed plastic rubber easily wrinkles, twists, and when heated makes it possible to create an element of any configuration.

Cooling on the mold (cast mold for three-dimensional parts), the material forms incredibly realistic flowers with all the subtleties of natural plants. Particularly valuable for decorating exclusive accessories.

Beautiful bows

If organza is a traditional option, then in combination with satin ribbons it is a masterpiece. It is no less important to use tulle, which practically does not wrinkle, to make a bow of an original shape.

Crowns

This decoration is often worn on girls under one year old. Typically, crowns are made using different knitting methods. Needlewomen recommend choosing thick yarn so that the shape holds well and looks impressive.

It is relevant to use a crown, but such a crown is worn for a girl’s photo shoot.

Children's accessories can be combined with any set of clothes. But even for little girls, it is necessary to follow the stylistic alphabet so that the image looks fashionable and charming.

1. Choose a headband that matches your dress or shoes.
2. If the outfit is in one of the pastel shades, a contrasting option with an emphasis on the decorative element looks beautiful.
3. The printed headband echoes the color scheme of the clothes.
4. A fashion accessory must match the season.
5. A miniature decorated headband goes well with a laconic outfit; a too voluminous version may look out of place.

7. When purchasing a finished product or making an accessory with your own hands, consider the girl’s age.
8. The bandage should not press or be uncomfortable for the child.

Girls, hello!
Our summer is in full swing, today it was +31 in the shade.
And I have another portion of useful things for you.
In this heat, it’s kind of hard to have long hair, I speak from my own experience, I myself have very thick and long hair, so so that my hair doesn’t get in the way and doesn’t seem like a warm fur coat, I suggest creating a headband for yourself.
The ideas are quite popular, and the principle of creation is very easy, you can make it in literally 10 minutes.

Quite recently, at a sewing course, we sewed aprons, and we had to sew scarves to go with them, but ordinary scarves are somehow not in trend now, so many decided to make their own headbands.
They can be made in different ways, with rounded tips or sharp ones, with or without frame wire, so that the seam is on the inside or outside. In general, there are a lot of variations, choose the one you like best! I have collected 7 options for hairbands for you at once.

For production we will need:
The fabric I have is 100% cotton, but you can take another one.
Approximately 105 cm long, 10 cm wide. When finished, I got 102 cm long and 4 cm wide. Although these sizes are approximate and you can change them at your discretion.
These sizes are suitable for tying a headband on a bow; if you plan to insert frame wire, then the length will be needed less. Measure the circumference of your head and add the required length of the tips, and a couple of centimeters for allowances.
Everything can be cut out.
The width is folded in half, the corners are folded on both sides and cut off. You can sew it from the wrong side, leaving a hole for turning it inside out and then sew it up with hidden stitches. Or iron the allowances inward and stitch from the front side 0.1 - 0.2 mm from the edge.

Second option
It is done in the same way as the first one, only the corners are made rounded.

The third method is similar, only the corners are made into an acute triangle.

How to sew a headband with a bow

Fourth method
Better made from knitwear
A rectangle is cut out in length slightly less than the girth of the head, if the fabric stretches well, then 1/3 or 1/4 of the head girth can be removed, if not, then a couple of centimeters and without allowances, in general it depends on the stretchability of the knitwear. To check, you should apply the fabric to your head and pull it around the circumference and feel how comfortable it is, choose the width at your discretion.
Decided on the sizes and cut them.
You also need to cut a rectangle for the bow; the width can be the same as the headband, and the length is about 1/3 of the length of the headband in two layers.

And a small rectangle or square to hold the bow and headband together.

And the fifth idea, a headband with a wide bow that can be tied.

Pattern of a headband with a bow + master class

Diagram of how to tie a bow headband correctly

Knitted headband

And the last seventh and very interesting intricate idea for a headband made from knitted stripes.
The length of the strips again needs to be taken based on the stretchability of the knitwear. In principle, it’s easy to remove the extra length later, but if there’s not enough length, it’s very difficult to add more, so it’s better to take a little more and eat less.
Otherwise, the whole process is easier to watch and see than to describe and read)

And that's all for me!
I wish you a great day and creative inspiration)))

Many fashionistas like to use popular accessories such as headbands, oriental turbans and many other varieties. Today, products of our own production, that is, handmade, are especially valued.

Such projects provide an opportunity to emphasize the owner’s individuality, her character and sense of style. A girl who uses her skills will be guaranteed to catch the admiring glances of others. If you are interested in this topic, let's figure out how to make a headband with your own hands.

Features of project preparation.

The emergence of a creative idea about creating a beautiful and stylish head accessory can be inspired by many factors - a review of foreign representatives called style icons in printed publications, a new acquisition of a girlfriend. Before you begin to implement your idea, you must:

• take an adequate look at your skills and knowledge. If you are not very comfortable with handmade products, we recommend choosing a detailed description with step-by-step photographs. This will make it easier for you to recreate all the stages correctly and efficiently;
• choose the material and manufacturing method, depending on your preference. A craftswoman can sew or knit a fashion item;
• pre-think through decoration elements and decoration methods. All components of a masterpiece must be harmoniously combined and correspond to the intended purpose;
• make a schematic sketch of the future thing. This is necessary in order to adhere to a certain plan of action and not deviate from the design;
• make a detailed list of materials and tools for manufacturing.

What materials are suitable for the bandage?

First of all, we advise you to focus on your skills in working with matter. Girls who are comfortable with crocheting or knitting can make an excellent accessory from yarn. It will not only please the owner, but will also warm her in cold weather. By the way, simple patterns that do not need additional decoration can be born under knitting needles or crochet. The most trendy model is the turban.

Craftswomen who work with sewing machines can show their creativity and realize their potential by choosing a stylish fabric. Products are made from various materials - cotton, denim, knitwear, lace, silk. A decoration made from elastic openwork ribbon and trimmed with flowers, beads, and rhinestones will look very beautiful. The production process will not take you much time, and all parts can be easily purchased in the store.

As you can see, fabric and yarn are suitable for handmade. If you show your imagination, you can complement the finished item with stylish elements.

We have sorted out some of the features, now we can begin the process itself. Below we will present in detail several projects - how to sew a headband with your own hands.

From an old T-shirt

Every craftswoman has unnecessary things that are waiting for their finest hour. Now we'll talk about the T-shirt. Choose a wardrobe item that does not contain pilling, stains or holes. The main part of the decoration consists of a Celtic pattern. It means eternity or limitlessness. In ancient times, applying it to outfits meant that the owner would be accompanied by prosperity and success.

You will need fabric glue and scissors. Cut two strips about three centimeters wide. They must be double. It is better not to take the bottom edge where the seam is. Next, stretch the workpieces in different directions, without unfolding them. You just need to grab the ends and pull them. Make one sample into a loop, and the second one on top of the first in the shape of the letter “U”. Next, make a knot as indicated in the picture and tighten the pattern.

Try the product on your head; excess ends must be trimmed. To process the edge you will need an additional piece of the same material. Place it under the ends of the strips, apply glue and secure. It will take several hours to dry completely. After this time, the fashion jewelry can be used for its intended purpose.

Solokha.

Modern fashion represents trends towards simplicity and naturalness. In order to make a straw at home, you do not need to go to courses to gain knowledge about cutting and sewing. Below we will tell you about simple techniques that will help you sew exclusive models.

To make it, you will need a piece of beautiful material, about 80 centimeters long. The length will depend directly on the preferences of the future owner. To ensure that the bow does not fall and is always stable, a wire is inserted. If the decoration was planned for a girl, replace it with soft padding polyester or foam rubber. This technique will allow you to create a “family bow”.

From fabric.

We present to your attention a master class on how to sew a turban headband with your own hands. This decoration is ideal for representatives of the fair sex with different types of appearance and hairstyle. Look great with loose hair, braids, buns or ponytails. For the cold season, we recommend buying thicker materials - drape, fleece, velor or wool; for spring and summer - thinner ones. The work will require the following tools:

• piece of material;
• measuring instruments - measuring tape and ruler;
• needle and thread, scissors.

Before starting the process, prepare 2 fabric blanks. Both should be identical in size, with a length equal to the volume of the head and an additional 4 cm, and the width should be 30 cm. Fold each element in half lengthwise and sew on a sewing machine or by hand (“needle back”). Then turn them right side out.

Place the strips with the seam facing up, one on one, in the form of a cross. Next, fold the two ends of one strip together, and do this with each piece. Connect all four sections, mark the volume of the head and sew stripes. We try it on, if the product does not squeeze your head and you are comfortable in it, you can safely remove excess material and process the ends. An excellent option is to take two pieces of fabric of different shades, but harmoniously combined with each other.

Using an old knitted sweater

If you are not comfortable with yarn and knitting, there is an alternative - make a warm model from a sweater. To do this, you will need a piece with a length equal to the circumference of the head plus four centimeters for the seam, the height is 12 cm. Cut out the sample, sew the edges and process the upper cut. The warm bandage is ready.

Possessing the knowledge and desire to make unique and exclusive jewelry, every craftswoman is able to delight herself with interesting projects. It will take you very little time to get an excellent finished product. Please yourself and realize your full potential, let all your work catch admiring glances from loved ones and people around you. Interesting finds and master classes.

Hello, dear readers! In this review, the site “Kabluchok.ru” will show and tell you how to make a headband with your own hands. The finished headband can be tied in two ways: with a knot on the top of the head (pin-up style) or with ties at the back. By the way, a headband with a knot on the top of the head is now incredibly popular. It looks great with sundresses, jeans, plaid shirts, open tops, white T-shirts, flared dresses and plain cropped trousers.

DIY headband made of fabric.

Necessary materials:

• A piece of fabric.
• Scissors.
• Sewing pins.
• Measuring tape.
• Iron.
• Sewing machine.
• Wooden skewer.
• Threads.

How to sew a headband.

Cut out two identical strips of fabric, 90 cm long and 3 cm wide. Then they need to be ironed. Lay them one on top of the other and use scissors to create pointed ends on each side.

After that, the strips need to be laid one on top of the other with their right sides, and pinned with sewing pins.

Now the stripes need to be stitched around the perimeter, not forgetting to leave the hole in the center unstitched.

At this stage, it is necessary to trim the ends of the future bandage from the inside.

Now you can turn the product inside out. To do this, take a wooden skewer, place it on the tip of the bandage and push the material towards the central hole. You need to do the same with the other tip. And use a skewer to straighten the ends of the bandage from the inside.

So, the bandage is turned right side out, now it needs to be ironed.

Well, finally, the bandage needs to be stitched around the perimeter, so you can sew up the very central hole thanks to which it was possible to turn it out.

That's it, the headband is ready! All that remains is to tie it up and admire your reflection in the mirror.
