Revive An Old Headband

Revive an old headband in 5 minutes

I had a old headband that I liked when I was in the shop but my ever changing hair colour did not so I never got round to actually wearing it. I decided to give it a super easy and much needed revival!

You Will Need (4 things)

  • Headband
  • Tacky Glue
  • Scrap Material Eg: Old Pants Or Shirts
  • Scissors

Steps (6 steps, 5 minutes)

  1. 1

    Cut a piece of material into a long strip (about 3/4 times the length of the object you're going to cover should be fine). It doesn't have to be neat, nor equal width the whole way down- mine wasn't. I used an old dress I hadn't worn in many moons.

  2. 2

    Fold in the corners of the material at each end and glue. This makes it tidier in the long run.

  3. 3

    Blob a bit of glue onto the inside end of your headband and attach one end of your strip of material.

  4. 4

    Tightly wind the material around the headband, blobbing a bit of glue on the inside as you go to hold in place.

  5. 5

    Once you reach the other end, blob another bit of glue.

  6. 6

    I had an extra bit left by the time I got to the end of the band so I just started winding round the other way and glued the end on the inside. Done.
