Oh March - what a tease you are with the weather! Just when we are enjoying some sunshine, the rain and snow come around. This headband has me dreaming of bright sunny days!
There are a lot of steps that I forgot to photograph - so sorry. Hope you can get the general idea. I cut out strips of rainbow color tulle - about 10" long and varying in width. I started at 2 1/2" wide and ended at 1 3/4" side. By the time I had gathered it, however, they could have all been the same width and it would not have mattered. I stacked the strips on top and ran two long stitches down the middle.
To gather, pull only the top threads until it is all ruffled. Knot the ends so the ruffles don't fall out and glue onto a headband. Then I took my scissors and snipped it so it got all fluffy.
My girls love it! I love it! It was easy - and it will be perfect for St. Patrick's Day!
Here it is on a blondie who refuses to look at me:
And on my brunette - the headband hides more.
Rainbows, ruffles, bright colors, hair accessories, inexpensive, easy - what is not to love?

I love, love, love it! It's so cute and looks relatively easy. Please come and share it at Whimsy Wednesdays at www.thenymelrosefamily.blogspot.com/2012/03/whimsy-wednesdays-1.html. Did I mention love it?!
I'm so glad you shared this at Whimsy Wednesday over at The NY Melrose Family. Your models are so cute and willing to help. My model usually runs away from me and yells "No cheese, mama!" That's a two year old for you though.
SO VERY CUTE! I think that my grand daughter would just love one of these. She wears tutus with everything she can get away with so this would just be a perfect match. I saw your post as a result of it being featured as one of the favorites at "Serenity Now" blog party. Congrats!
