Description

Instructions

  1. Small 2021 01 07 223244 img 7113 original

    For this project, you'll need some elastic for the headband, fancy trim to decorate it and a couple of large feathers.

  2. Small 2021 01 07 223348 img 7115 original

    Cut a length of elastic long enough to fit around your head when it's stretched a tiny amount.

  3. Small 2021 01 07 223358 img 7117 original

    Sew the ends of the elastic together to form a band.

  4. Small 2021 01 07 223440 img 7118 original

    Cut a slightly longer length of decorative trim.

  5. Small 2021 01 07 223500 img 7119 original

    Stitch the trim to the elastic, stretching the elastic while you sew. Leave a small section of elastic at the back bare.

  6. Small 2021 01 07 223505 img 7120 original

    Position the feathers near the back of the headband and stitch in place.
