Description

Keep people guessing with this barely there headband that just leaves you with the look of having pretty beads scattered in your hair.

Instructions

  1. Small 2014 02 27 213414 img 4636

    Start with choosing which beads you want to work with. For this project, I use the clear beads. (About 6 of them worked well for me.)

  2. Small 2014 02 27 213447 img 4640

    Measure your string around your head and cut what's needed it. Wrapping it around 2 times should be plenty to work with.

  3. Small 2014 02 27 213537 img 4641

    Tie one end of the string to your hair tie. You can choose any color. It would really add to the illusion if it matched your hair color!

  4. Small 2014 02 27 213622 img 4642

    String your beads on one at a time.

  5. Small 2014 02 27 213637 img 4643

    After the bead is on, take the end of string and go through the bead again.

  6. Small 2014 02 27 213645 img 4645

    Your bead should now be securely in place on the string.

  7. Small 2014 02 27 213652 img 4648

    After you have added all the beads and secured them, tie the end of your string to your hair tie and cut off any excess string.

  8. Small 2014 02 27 213657 img 4649

    Your finished headband should look something like this. Feel free to experiment with your bead choices and colors.

    This is how the headband will look on your head. The string completely disappears!
