Ribbon Wrapped Headband Tuturial!

For a ribbon wrapped headband, you will need: a headband (I used a plain plastic base about 3/8 inch wide), about 40 inches ribbon (I used 5/8 inch wide black polyester ribbon), scissors, a fray stop solution (like fray check or fray stoppa), and Fabri-tac adhesive glue.

1. Apply fray stop solution to the end of ribbon and let it dry.  Apply glue to inside end of headband.

2. Position ribbon over glue and hold down until glue hardens.

3. Apply glue to out side of headband end.

4. Position ribbon over glue and hold down until glue hardens.

5. Wrap ribbon around back and then around front.  Start angling ribbon diagonally toward the center of the headband.  Make sure to overlap the ribbon edges!

6. Continue wrapping like so.

7. Continue wrapping to other end of headband.

8. Apply glue to the outside of headband and apply pressure until glue hardens.

9. Using your eye, measure the ribbon to find the perfect place to cut the end.  Apply fray stop to prevent fraying.  Let dry before applying glue.

10. Apply pressure until glue hardens.  And we're done!
