The ABSOLUTE easiest craft you will ever do!

One of my favorite craft items to work with is grosgrain ribbon. Since my girls are growing up (sniff) they practically refuse... REFUSE to wear hair bows anymore. It's been hard for me.

But, they still want to wear cute hair accessories... yay me... so, I've had to come up with ways to use cute grosgrain ribbon that is "acceptable" for growing girls.

Elisan loves to wear the non-slip headbands that I began making a while back. But, Kyla doesn't care for the non-slip headband. So, with soccer season coming up (and her bangs in the process of growing out) I decided to make her a headband that will stay in place, keep her bangs back and look cute all at the same time!

I bought 7/8 inch grosgrain ribbon, 7/8 inch "velvet" ribbon and sewed two strips together along the edges (creating a ribbon tube). I then slide a thin headband through the ribbon tube, sewed the edges down and trimmed the ends. I then heat-sealed the ends with a lighter (to prevent fraying). And, there ya go. Is that easy or what?! (Disregard the sloppy sewn ends! Sewing faux pas, I know!)

Hobby Lobby has their ribbon by the roll on sale for 1/2 off nearly every week. You can get some really cute and fun ribbon for super cheap! The headbands I used for the craft came from the dollar tree. 5 headbands for a dollar!

By the way, if anyone wishes to purchase a wide-band non-slip headband (for adults), contact me! They are perfect for exercise as they truly do not slip and they keep the sweat from your hair from running down your face! Ewww, I know!

Anyway, I'm selling them for $6.00/each. Contact me if you would like to purchase one!
