I made quite a few headbands before Lena was born. I made tutorials for some of them to share with you. She hasn’t really worn them much yet. I thought I would be more into headbands for girls but she came out looking more girly than I thought she would. And I also made them all way too big. And we don’t leave the house much. Maybe we’ll be more into them later on but they are cute for photo shoots! So in the next few weeks, expect a couple more headband tutorials!
You can really use any material to make this silk bow headband, but silk has such a lustrous texture, it really makes the whole thing! Pair it with a jewel-toned band and doesn’t it look so sweet? Silk is one of my favorite materials, even though it is a little hard to work with because it frays a ton. It’s worth it!
Materials:
*elastic
*1/8 yard silk
*glue gun
Cut your silk into a strip 5″ by 20″
Fold in half and sew, leaving a 1-2″ opening in the middle of the tube.
Turn and tie in a bow
Sew elastic ends together using a zig zag stitch.
Hand sew the bow to the elastic right over the place you sewed together. (Or use a glue gun)
Done!
Too adorable!!! Love the sweet baby photo!Thanks so much for sharing the great tutorial!
Have a fabulous day!

Silk is the perfect fabric for soft pretty babies! Love it Kate.
Baby headbands are cute. One day I will make some for my growing toddler girl, since she is getting girlier in her “old” age.
Oh man, I just want to eat her up. Lena is so adorable! Love the headband, too, of course–downright luscious.
Ditto on all the reasons Ev hasn’t been rocking headbands very often yet. :)
Nawww! She’s so beautiful :) Fingers crossed I have another girl so I have someone to make adorable headbands like this again!
Thanks for sharing xx
Oh my, I love this! And you are totally and completely correct — she is awfully girly looking already :) So pretty!
Very sweet and classy. I would have never thought about using silk for a bow but I love this! There was some beautiful silk at Joann’s the other day that might need to become a bow.
Cute cute cute!
OMGoodness!!! this is the first picture I came across of your little Sweet one.. So cute.. I can only imagine the fun you are having dressing her up :)
