Headband Week- Three strand lace headband

So Little Miss Momma pretty much dictated my crafting last week by initiating her "headband" challenge. I got it in my head to make a headband every day, even though I had a few that I could rotate all week. And thus Headband Week was born!

Today's headband was one of the easiest I've ever done in my entire life. Seriously. I saw {this} on Pinterest a few weeks ago....

Gorgeous right? I loved the hairstyle too but that is for another day. I miraculously had almost the exact same lace in my stash, so this came together in less than five minutes! That's also why the pictures are absolutely horrific, I was in a rush to get out the door and didn't have time to stage any of the pictures! Sorry 'bout that.

Though my face and pose are slightly emo-ish, I LOVE the way the headband turned out! It's super cute, versatile and really comfy!

To make one, you will need:

• 4 yards of lace
• 8 inches of white fold over elastic 
• Scissors
• Ruler
• Hot glue gun 

Easy right? I bet most of you already have all of that stuff in your stash!

Most adult headbands are 19-20 inches, so use that as a rough estimate. I cut three 14 inch strands of lace, and one six inch length of fold over elastic. 

(Can you even see that picture? Yuck, sorry!) Stack each strand of lace on top of each other, making sure everything is facing the same direction. SLIGHTLY fan them out, and glue directly onto one end of your fold over elastic. Then do the same thing for the other side. Make sure nothing gets twisted in the process, that wouldn't be pretty. 

Cut a one inch section of FOE and glue it over the raw edges. 

That's it! It really was that easy! The hardest thing was waiting for the dumb glue gun to heat up! 

I made this one using the same method with my mom using some trim from David's grandma. This is by far the most versatile method out of all of them this week, you could make a zillion trillion headbands! (An exact amount.)

There are still six more headband tutorials coming this week! Stay tuned. :) Linking up {here}

Oh, and PS! I decided it would be fun to have a headband themed linky party at the end of Headband Week!  Huzzah! It'll be so fun, I can't wait to see all your headbands!
