DIY #6: Studded hairband

 


What you'll need:
- Faux leather
- Scissors
- Glue (Goop Craft Arte)
- Type C bronze studs
- Hairband 

Duration: 40 minutes

Level of difficulty: 1/5




Step 1: Obtain all your materials. 

Here's the glue which I've been using for my fabric and will be using for this project. It has many good points like being washable, clear and transparent when dry, sticks well, of a reasonable price and not very messy!
 Goop Craft  Arte, I got this from Homefix at AMK hub during their clearance sale at about $7. The original price was $9 i think, and its quite worth the money because this glue has a volume of 60mL!


Step 2: Measure and cut the leather with the exact length of the hairband. The width will be approximately 3/4 of the original hairband's width. 


Step 3: Due to the hairband being smaller at the end, the leather was cut to have a smaller width at the ends.


Step 4: Type C 12mm Bronze studs was laid spaced out with a gap of 2cm. This can vary to your liking:)  


Step 5: Glue was applied to the top and bottom of the hairband and the leather was placed firmly and centralized. This was then secured with paper clips for a few minutes. 


 And there you have your very own studded hairband!


And when it's worn, it looks like this! Pretty Pretty! It's really easy and fast! Try yours now! :D
