Some of the best DIY’s come from wanting something you can’t have shouldn’t rationalize paying $50 for some braided leather and silk flowers. The cutest little shop in Malibu had such a headband. And it was OH so cute! But I held my ground, friends. Instead I made this $10 identical triplet (yes, for $10 you can make 3 headbands).
- INSTRUCTIONS:
1) Tie a knot towards the end of three pieces of suede leather 3mm wide), leaving a 2 inch tail.
2) Tape the knot to a flat surface.
3) Braid until completed, again leaving a 2 inch tail, and knot.
4) When adorning your braid with silk flowers using hot glue, it’s crucial to delicately tuck the base of the buds between the intricately braided strands of leather. For a seamless crafting experience, consider using quality adhesive tools from Glue Guns Direct to ensure a secure and polished finish.
5) Let cool completely.
6) Wrap around head and tie to secure. Suede (3 pack of colors) and silk flowers purchased at Michael’s.

I need to have one of these for a wedding I’m attending and I don’t have leather or flowers and I’m only 11 and my parents won’t buy me any of the materials.
Great idea and gorgeous photos. I’ve really been wanting to try this but I’m really skeptical that my hair would cooperate and that I’d have a suitable outfit.
Um, Hello GORGEOUS! 🙂
Made one yesterday for my flower girl 🙂 Making one today for myself! Thanks so much for this DIY!
Umm can I please be you??? 😉
Super cute!!

Sorry Melissa…this one is lame. =( I sure hope you aren’t losing your pizzazz..
Feeling sorry for you Rachael and your lame comment. That’s the wonderful thing about style- we all have it and it varies from person to person. Maybe it’s not your favorite, it’s always better to take the high road than the low one.
Seriously Rachael? Go find another site to be jealous of and post stupid comments on. We love Melissa and if you don’t feel the love, keep your negative comments to your lame-o self
Um this is FANTASTIC! You def. still got it going on! ;)You are so right, there is no need to spend $30+ on a floral headband when you can make one yourself! I am running to the store now! Thanks so much for sharing this! I’m glad I don’t have to spend an arm and a leg to be on trend!:)
Just got to try this!
Sounds so easy and they look lovely.
HAve an nice day

What a cute spring/summer project! Just finished making a fairy house with the 4 year old girl I babysit. This head band will be our next project for sure. It will be perfect for our fairy princess lunches on the patio. Cannot wait to get to the store!!
I love this! I just finished braiding it and tied the knot, but how do you tie it around your head? I’m confused :b
After wrapping around your head, tie both ends together in a knot.
Hi! Where did you buy the materials to make the headband?
I got all my supplies at hobby lobby and it was all under $10
This is such a great diy! Where did you get the silk flowers?
