MAKING A SMILEY RUFFLE HEADBAND.

Have been meaning to get myself a wear-on headband and even took a step to fulfil my want, by going to the market to get one, but unfortunately, I couldn't find the right design with the right fabric in one head band, it either the design doesn't meet my taste or the fabric used - there was always something wanting.
Today, I decided to give myself the privilege of owning a headband (I literally don't have any) and putting the floral fabric pieces into good use.

MATERIALS USED.

• The fabric
• Elastic
• Foam
• Matching thread
• Needle
• Scissors

THE STEPS TO BE CONSIDERED IN MAKING IT.

1. Measured the circumference of my head, which was about 23½ inches.

1. Folded the fabric, using exactly 23½ inches as length and 10 inches as width.

1. Divided 23½ inches into two, to ascertain the length of the piping for the ruffles.

1. Put it inside the already sewn band and tacked it at both ends.

1. Cut a piece of the fabric for the bow, using 8 inches as length and 10 inches as width.

Sew it and leave opening for the turning

1. Then put the foam inside the fabric - I needed stamina for my bow.

1. After attaching the bow, I placed this on my head in order to know what the length of downward part would be, which was 12 inches with sewing allowance.

1. I then cut the elastic (6 inches) and placed it inside the fabric, sewing it both end.

1. Joined the downward part with the upper side and it produced this.
   Tada! the result are here.

Which style of wearing it do you think is better, this?
