DIY Upcycled Baby Bow Headbands
A great way to keep using those elastic baby bow headbands for a long time as they grow is to turn them into some cute upcycled headbands for big girls. Learn how you can do this too!
Equipment
- scissors
- Hot glue gun and glue sticks
- Needle and thread.
Ingredients
- Plastic headbands.
- Old elastic baby headbands with bows
Instructions
- Get your selection of elastic bands.
- Just cut off the elastic strip from the bow as closed as possible to the joints.
- Used it to wrap it around the plastic headband while stretching it tightly. Add a dab of glue to secure the end of the elastic and then go around covering the headband.
- When you get to the end, glue it with a dab of hot glue. Secure for a few seconds until it cools down.
- And the headband is wrapped.
- Now the bow.
- Decide first where you wanted the bow to be placed and leave a mark.
- Then add a big dab of hot glue where the mark is and put the bow in place.
- To reinforce the bow add a few dabs of hot glue in a few more spots along the headband below the bow.
- There you go… you got yourself a cute bow headband for girls!
- Here is another example, and it was almost the same.
- Cut the elastic from the baby headband bow, and wrap the plastic headband.
- But this time at the end of the plastic headband I made some stitches instead of gluing.
- Then marked the place for the bow, glued it, and tadaaaaa!!!
