[Diy] "Evil Queen" Hair Band

How to create the "Evil Queen" inspired hair accessory

https://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/diy-evil-queen-hair-band • Posted by fashionrolla

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!
