“Evil Queen” Hair Band
[Hair Accessory Tutorial]
My latest addiction is the popular fairy tale drama series “Once upon a time”. For those who know nothing about the show here is a little spoiler: fairy tales go real life! Confused? Just watch the show. I am for my part watching it every day. It is such a thrilling show with twisted stories and complicated characters. My favorite show character is the Evil Queen. Mostly because of her bombastic wardrobe and her “I don’t give a crap” attitude :).
Inspired by the queen’s amazing costumes I designed a simple tutorial for this unique hair accessory. You will need about 2 hours of your time and about 10 € ($13) of your budget. I hope you like the way I designed the “Evil Queen” hair band. Have fun by creating yours!
You will need green fabric, pencil, ruler, tape measure, matching threads, safety pin, scissors, diff sized beads, glass spikes, plastic hair band |
Measure the width and the total length of your headband |
Cut a strap based on the measurement plus seam allowance |
Fold the strap and sew the side together |
Turned the strap inside out with the help of the safety pin. Slide the strap onto the headband |
Stretch the fabric and push the ends inside and close them with the matching thread |
First attach the spikes to the headband leaving about 2 cm (1″) space between each. I used 8 spikes for this project.
|
Then attach the beads between the spikes, vary the sizes |
Done! |
“When she breaks the tender peel, to taste the apple in my hand, her breath will still, her blood congeal, then I’ll be fairest in the land!”
