Sometimes when I'm thrifting I keep an eye out for fabric! I'll buy any piece of clothing with large surfaces of fabric to use for my handmade projects. It's cheaper than buying yardage and more unique! Here's a little project that I ReStyled from a long skirt…
I used this skirt that had pretty printed fabric in a fit that I wouldn't wear to make a headband!
To make a floral headband, here's what you'll need: Fabric at least two feet long,(be creative and use an old piece of clothing you never wear!) scissors, needle & thread. 1. Cut four seperate 1-2 inch wide (depending on how large you want your flowers to be), 2 ft. long strips. 2. Begin wrapping the fabric into a cone shape, stitching through all the layers each time you wrap it around. Make sure the pattern is facing the inside so that as it extends out it will be the side that shows. For smaller flowers, use strips around 1 1/2 ft. long. 3. Once you've made the flowers for your headband, take the fourth strip and sew them on the middle, leaving the ends to tie your headband.

Great idea. I love headbands and long skirts. It was very helpful article. Keep it up.
very lovely!
This is so awesome, I swapped similar fabric recently, going to try and repeat this project, I am not going to have the main strap fraying though!
I am so sad for that skirt! It was so adorable!!!
But the headband is cute.
It is very whimsical and fun

I know it makes so much sense, but something always stops me from cutting up clothes. Alterations are ok, but I can never bring myself to completely recycle the fabric like this. Your bravery is beautiful!!!
i too love th at fabric!
That fabric is amazing! I would have bought the skirt no matter what, too. I’m with Martha in wanting to know if you now have a shorter skirt in that fabric!
wow what a wonderful diy- idea
