Frills for the Fillies

It is the peak of autumn racing carnival and I am big believer in DIY 'On the Field Fashions'. Sometimes the simplest bits and bobs you have lying around can make the most precious accessories.

I have started making these headbands with odd buttons I have and left over cuts of lace. They work really well worn across the forehead for a 20's style or just a casual headband....and who would ever know it was homemade??

You'll need:

Ribbon (measure the length to the circumference of your head less 2 inches for elastic)

2.5 inches of elastic

Old buttons and any materials you desire

Needle and thread

Craft glue

Simply measure the ribbon to the circumference of your head and minus 2.5+ inches for elastic. Turn the ribbon instead out and either use a sewing machine or needle and thread and sew each end of the elastic to the ribbon together until you get a band.

Take your materials and either glue or sewing on your chosen fabrics and buttons to your style. It is that easy....
