Hi everyone,
I have recently started experimenting with DIY fashion accessories and I am looking for some inspiration. I have a piece of chiffon fabric lying around, and I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on how to use it to make a hair accessory. I have seen some beautiful chiffon headbands before, but I am not very good at sewing, so I am looking for a simple project that I can do without having to use a sewing machine. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.
Hey,
I'm not good at sewing too, so I decided to make a chiffon turban headband. It was quite simple to make and it's perfect for those bad hair days. All you need is a chiffon fabric, a measuring tape, and fabric glue.
First, measure your head from your forehead to the nape of your neck with a measuring tape. Then, cut a strip of chiffon fabric that is twice the length of the measurement you just took plus an extra inch for seam allowance. The width should ideally be 3-4 inches.
Now bring both ends of the strip together and apply fabric glue generously to one inch of the end of one side. Then attach it to the opposite side to create a loop. The loop should be wide enough to fit your head through. After that, fold the loop inwards to reveal the gluey part of the attached ends.
Now apply fabric glue and fold the other half over onto the gluey part of the attached ends. Press the fabric down with your fingers to make sure it's nice and tight.
That's it! You now have a chic and trendy headband made of chiffon fabric. You can play around with the width and length of the fabric to create different styles. I hope you find this helpful.
Hi!
I recently made a chiffon headband that turned out really cute, and I wanted to share the steps I took to make it. All you need is a piece of chiffon fabric, an elastic band, and a hot glue gun.
First, cut the chiffon fabric to the desired length and width. I chose to make mine 20 inches long and 3 inches wide. Then, take the elastic band and measure it around your head, making sure it's snug enough to stay in place, but doesn't create too much tension.
Once you have your measurements, cut the elastic band to the appropriate size and mark the center point. Then, take the chiffon fabric and fold it in half lengthwise, with the wrong sides facing each other.
Next, glue the two ends of the chiffon fabric together using the hot glue gun, making sure to leave a small opening to insert the elastic band. Once the glue has dried, turn the fabric right side out and insert the elastic band through the opening you created, securing both ends with another dot of glue.
Finally, glue the two ends of the chiffon fabric together to create a beautiful, one-of-a-kind headband. You can decorate it with beads, sequins, or anything else you can think of, or keep it simple and elegant just as it is.
I hope you find this helpful and fun to try!
Hi there,
I actually recently made a chiffon scrunchie as a hair accessory using just a few materials and no sewing machine required! All you need is a piece of chiffon fabric (about 10 inches long and 3 inches wide), an elastic band, some fabric glue, and scissors.
First, cut the chiffon fabric to your desired length and width. Then, glue one end of the fabric to the elastic band, making sure to leave a little extra fabric for the scrunchie effect. Wrap the fabric around the elastic, gluing as you go, until you reach the end. Lastly, glue the other end of the fabric to the elastic band and let it dry completely.
Once it's dry, you have a beautiful chiffon scrunchie that you can wear in your hair. It's easy to make and looks really chic! Hope this helps.
Hello!
I just wanted to share my experience of making chiffon hair ties. They are really simple to make and you don't need any glue or sewing skills! All you need is a piece of chiffon fabric, a pair of scissors, and a ruler.
First, measure your chiffon fabric to the desired length and cut it into a rectangular shape. The length of the fabric should be about 16-18 inches, and the width about 2-3 inches.
Next, fold the fabric strip in half lengthwise and cut along the fold, creating two equal pieces. Take each piece and fold it in half lengthwise, making sure the right sides of the fabric are facing inwards. Cut off about an inch from the folded end of each piece to create a small opening.
At this point, turn the fabric inside out so that the right sides of the fabric are now facing outward. You will now have two tubes of chiffon fabric that are open on both ends.
Grab one of the tubes and insert the other tube through it until the two small openings meet. Tie the two ends of the tubes together in a tight knot so that the hair tie won't come apart.
And voila! You now have a chiffon hair tie that is perfect for holding your hair in place. You can make several of these in different colors to match your outfits. I hope this was helpful!
