Nothing like 10 hours in a car to give you an idea… Since we have been traveling I have not been putting a ton of effort into my hair do’s… Plus its INSANELY humid here in SC and there is pretty much no point, my hair just goes flat.
Okay- so you know those Goody stretchy elastic headbands? The ones that keep your hair out of your face? (they sell them at Target) the ones if you wear them all day give you a headache? Well with the humidity I’ve resorted to using them… alot…. Yesterday on our way back from Savannah (day trip) I was thinking “there has to be a way to make this cute”… but there are several problems with this idea
- you can’t sew on it- otherwise it won’t be stretchy anymore
- you can’t slip cover it- if it’s not “sticky” it won’t stay in place
- you can’t glue anything to it- it won’t stretch…
hmmm… then AH HA! I figured it out! And I’m so excited!
I made one tonight and it worked! When I get back I’ll share a tutorial with you for it- but it’s SUPER simple! I just don’t have all my stuff here in S.C. to explain it all…I think I’m going to make a few more to help me get through the hazy hot humid days of summer….
sorry for the terrible picture… my hair is not orange (at least I think it’s not …)
please post soon…i’m wearing these things all the time right now and need to fancy it up…love your blog by the way!
I am starting a NEW Mr. Linky party. It will begin on Aug 10th so everyone will have a week and a half to think about their first post. I have a poll up for votes on which button should be the new button. The “party” is called The Knock Off Knock Out-where THRIFTY meets creative sensation. Go over and learn more about the new weekly event and I would appreciate if you would cast your vote and HELP pick the new button design and its the last week for the July GIVE-A-Way, if you would like to be a part of that event..

Can’t wait for that post!!! Love it, and I agree a headache or else ‘pop’ and it’s off flying across the room!!
Oh, I can’t wait! This weather is killing my hair styles so I’ve just given up and it’s ponytails everyday. ugh
I love it…i can’t wait for you to tell us how you did it!
Oh that would be great. My daughter and I wear those alot and how cute is yours!!!
Very Cute! Can’t wait to see/hear more!
Look at you being crafty even on your trip! I wear these too! I’m looking forward to seeing how you did it. I’m guessing glue and not attaching fabric underneath…hummm not sure. I will just have to wait to see how ya did it.

I hear you. ONly I have the opposite problem. Frizzy pool hair. Ick… I wear headbands EVERY day and I finally did a tutorial about how to sew one. It is nice to have lots of options! I can’t wait to see yours.
You’ve been home now for a few hours. . .what’s the secret, and can I come over and make a ton?
Can you make one for me? I just cut off all of my hair the day before we left and I need headbands. I am excited to see how you did it.
