DIY Lace Headband

My newest obsession has been lace headbands but, whenever I see them at the store they are usually pretty expensive. Which nobody likes! Next thing you know I was taking matters into my own hands. There was no way I was going to spend $20 dollars for something that I knew I could probably do myself. Here's what I did. 

All you need is a shirt or tank top with the lace on the bottom. Most people have them on hand already. I got mine last year at a second hand store for like $2. I never wore it though. Also my shirt was green with cream lace but, you can do any color. 

You will also need a hot glue gun and scissors. 

To start out cut the seam on one side all the way to the armpit. Next carefully cut the lace off of the bottom. After that cut a four inch wide piece off of the tank or shirt. You should now have a long piece of lace and a long four inch wide piece of the shirt. 

Take your shirt piece and put it around your head to measure it to fit your head. If it is stretchy material cut it two inches shorter than the width of your head so that when you wear your headband it doesn't fall off. If it is not as stretchy just take one inch off. 

Now you should have you shirt cut perfectly for your head. Now this is where you get to play with it. I didn't want my headband to be four inches wide so I put the lace closer together and than cut the extra fabric away. But like I said have fun with this part. I first taped my shirt piece down to the table measured my lace to match the length of the shirt and cut it. Next I hot glued the lace to the top edge of the headband. I than took the second piece of lace I had and hot glued it right under the previous piece. Trimmed off the all the extra fabric so that everything was neat and than just got glued the two ends together. TADA!
