12 Days 'Till Christmas!
On the first day of Christmas this guru gave to me, a fun headband that filled me with glee!
So I haven't been able to live up to my "post every single day" promise, but I am not abandoning any of the fashion addicts out there! Lately, I've been sick and pretty busy, so I decided to do something simple today by making antlers! Whoa, I didn't mean REAL antlers! Silly you, I meant antler headbands!
Okay, here we go!
Materials:
4 Brown Pipe Cleaners
A hot glue gun
A pair of scissors
Plastic or cloth headband
Step 1: Find a plain headband in the color and design of your choice. Tip: Cloth headbands can get messy when using the hot glue gun, so be careful!
Step 2: Twist the ends of two brown pipe cleaners and shape them into a large V shape.
Step 3: Cut one pipe cleaner in half and another pipe cleaner into fourths.
Step 4: Take a half piece of pipe cleaner and a quarter of a pipe cleaner. Twist the quarter piece onto a half piece to form a Y shape. Do the same for he other half piece and another quarter piece.
Step 5: Twist the ends of one Y shaped pipe cleaner halfway up the inner side of the V pipe cleaner. Do the same with the other Y pipe cleaner onto the other inner side of the V.
Step 6: Take one of the remaining quarter pieces and twist it about 2 inches up onto one of the inner sides of the V. Do the same onto the other inner side with the last quarter piece of pipe cleaner.
Step 7: You have made your antlers! Now use a hot glue gun to attach the base of the antlers (vertex) to the center of your headband.
Tip: If you want to secure the antlers, add a piece of felt brown cloth to the center of the antlers at the base with your hot glue gun. Make sure the cloth wraps around the headband!
And voila! You have your own custom made antler headband that you can alter and decorate as many times as needed!
Some people get pretty intense...
This mini tutorial was pretty simple, so I hope you have fun using different kinds of personalized materials like thick cloth instead of pipe cleaners, glitter, some cool designs, maybe some bells to attach to the tips of the antlers...
