I couldn't wait to use some of my beautiful fabric goodies I recently acquired so yesterday I made this incredibly simple but beautiful hairband that literally took me 20 minutes at most but looks lovely (I think :) )
It was simply the easiest thing to make, all that is needed is a length of wide ribbon (enough to go around your head) a short length of elastic roughly half as wide as the ribbon and some kind of pretty as a decoration (although obviously a plain band could look just as lovely)
I firstly measured around my head and cut the ribbon approximately 4 inches shorter than the measurement. I then folded the ribbon in half and stitched down the length creating a tube. Next I turned the tube the other way out and pressed it flat.
I then folded a small hem at each end of the tube to stop it fraying and stitched a length of elastic approximately 3.5 inches into each end of the ribbon tube.

Lastly I hand stitched the lace onto the ribbon band (having first tried it on to assess where I wanted it to be placed. And voila! Crazy simple, super pretty, I think I shall make one in every colour! :)
