DIY BRAIDED HEADBAND!

This headband was probably one step up from the very simple rings I made in my earlier post. The website I gave you up there ^^ was terrible. Or maybe I am just bad at following directions. I was lucky that my Mom knew how to make braided leis. Here's a much easier website to follow. Just make sure to make it the length of a headband. 
I scored some thin ribbon from my grandma and bought a two pack of headbands from Forever 21 for maybe $2.50 (it had a bow on it but I just ripped it off).
Once you get the hang of the braiding, the process gets really easy and you'll be done in no time! To end it I hot glue gunned the two ends together into a triangle tip, to replica the start of the braid then hot glue gunned the braid to the headband!
This craft was a little harder but once you understand the directions it gets much easier. The braid itself is pretty simple. The headband is cute and pretty sturdy. Remember, the braid is stretchy so don't make your braid too long!
Happy Crafting!
