Material:
Plastic headband
DMC Pearl Cotton Embroidery Thread
Approx. 18" of beaded trim with attachments in between each stone or bead (rhinestones, crystal beads, etc)
Craft glue or hot glue gun
Time:
1 hour
Attach beginning of floss to inside of headband with craft glue or hot glue gun.
Wrap floss around headband beginning at one end.
You can wrap a number of times (5-7) quickly and then push strands together snugly, careful not to overlap the strands. This is really easier than it sounds.
Wrap embroidery floss around the entire headband securing the floss on the inside of the headband with glue at the other end.
Here is the sample with crystal beads (this is two wraps between each bead).
Here is the sample with rhinestones (this is four wraps between each stone). The original blue sample above is two wraps between each stone
Continue wrapping the trim until the end of the headband or the equivalent place where you started the trim on the other side so that it is equal.
Finis!
