All kinds of headbands, headbands, hairpins, plaits, hair decorations - all this is fashionable, beautiful, modern and in demand. Why not make yourself a hair decoration? This could be a DIY headband, a turban, plaits or fabric hairbands. For girls, you can make a crown or a unicorn on the headband (patterns are included).
The easiest option: how to make a hairband with your own hands - use wire, beads or flowers. You don’t always have a headband on hand that can be decorated. In this case, a wire rim is what you need to create a decoration. It is easiest to work with thin wire with a diameter of 0.5 or 0.3 mm. This wire is used in beading and is sold in craft stores.
This kind of rim can be made from 0.3 mm wire. and beads.
You can change the design, make the wire cells smaller - everything is in your hands. The technique itself is very simple: take a large piece of wire, bend it in half and twist 4 cm, then bend these 4 cm into a ring, to which an elastic band or chain is attached at the end.
Then there are 10 cm without decoration - just twisted wire. And then, at approximately the same distance, you twist these “honeycombs”, putting a bead on a “twig” of wire. Nothing complicated, everything ingenious is simple! I think that instead of beads, you can use beads, stringing them on a wire, and if you make small flowers from beads with your own hands, you will already have a twig with a flower.
If you want to know more details, watch the master class on this decor.
Look what beautiful headband from beads you will get a thin base:
Such a headband with white beads can be made for a wedding. Here it is braided with wire and beads itself thin bezel. Decorated with beads and roses made of polymer clay.

We apply the base to the elastic band and secure it with pins. Don't forget to turn the edges in 1 cm. Measure on your head. If everything suits you, sew it on, stepping back from the edge by 0.3 mm.

Jewelry such as hair plaits appeared relatively recently. Especially popular among Americans. They look very interesting. The most complex plait is called the Celtic knot.
Making such a rope is not difficult, you need to take a thick rope, cut it into pieces 75-80 cm long. Next, take fabric or knitwear of the same length and width, equal to the diameter of the rope plus 1 cm. Stitch from the wrong side and turn it inside out. We make a Celtic knot and stitch it with a needle and thread to match the color of the fabric. This is necessary so that our knot does not come apart. Trim off the excess. Sew on elastic or tape.
This type of tourniquet is also called Greek. You can also make a tourniquet from an old T-shirt. It is enough to cut the strips, stretch them by the ends so that they curl into tubes. Tie a knot, sew the ends together, or simply tie them together.
To work you will need:
- Light fabric - width from 14 to 18 cm, length - 70-75 cm (2 strips). You can simply cut a long scarf.
- Centimeter.
- Threads to match the color of the fabric.
- Pins, scissors.
- Beads or rhinestones (optional).
- Thin wire 0.3 or 0.5 mm. (Needed for the turban to keep its shape).
We measure the head. The bandage should be no smaller, but slightly larger in size than the head. We fold both strips lengthwise and stitch the edges of both, leaving a 4-5 cm section unstitched - this is necessary for turning it inside out. We also stitch the transverse ends. Turn it inside out. It turned out to be two “pipes”. Bend the ends of the wire (make a loop at both ends). Place the wire into one of the pipes, inserting it into the sharp corner of the “pipe” and sewing it with thread. Sew open areas with a blind stitch. Next, we lay out both “pipes” on the table. Red “pipe” on top.
Pass one “pipe” into the other, as in the photo. We thread the red part into the burgundy one. Pull out the burgundy piece so that both “pipes” are joined together. Manually secure the joints of the parts with invisible stitches.
