Old Jeans to New Hairband

Today, I'm going to show you how to make 

a cute little hairband using some fabric from old jeans.

You will need ...

Scissor, pen, fabric from old jeans, glue gun

a piece of plain hairband, piece of cardboard from packaging.

First, draw a 5 petals flower

The shape and size is absolutely depends on your preference...

Trace the flower shape onto the jeans...

Cut out the flower...

you will need about 6 of them...

Cut 4 of them into below...

a 3 petal piece and a 2 petal piece...

And the balance 2 flowers into a petal piece...

You will have some extra pieces...

Now, lay a 2 petals piece onto a 3 petal piece to create pattern...

And lay another 3 petal piece again... 

The sequence I apply here is 3 - 2 - 3 - 2 -1 - (1x2)* - 1

(1 x2) is lay a one petal into a 'V' shape.

Hope this make sense to you...

See the further picture...

This is the result of the sequence I applied.

(I make the layer more contrast by using different side of the fabric)

or you make use fabric from different pair of jean which have different shade.

When you happy with the pattern formed,

glue them together with a glue gun.

You will a firm piece of 'bow' after the glue dried.

Now, get your hairband,

I use an old one and glue the side with

seam I salvaged from an old non woven bag...

Position where you want to 'bow' to be..

at center or at the side of the hairband

and glue the piece with glue gun again.

Overlapping the piece as below...

You may trim bit of the corner to make the 'bow' shape more round and sweet!

Cut about an inch of seam from the old jeans...

Wrap it around the point where the pieces overlapping...

Decorate with an old jeans button.

There, it's all done.

Another great old clothes recycle...not a dime is spend!

Use, Reuse, Recycle, Repurposed, Re-Love!
