Project: The 4 min Glam Nagorie Headband

(I know, that kinda rhymed a bit there didn't it!)

Quickly becoming all the rage in every age group are these very posh feather headbands. They are everywhere and are expensive!

Even if you can't make a thing you can whip this baby out in 4 minutes!

Supplies:
Hot Glue Gun
Scissors
Lighter
5 inches of satin double face ribbon- we used 1.5"
Nagorie feather pad
Rhinestone buckle- we used a 5/8" size
Satin covered headband


Weave your satin ribbon through the rhinestone buckle. Next place a small dot of glue in the middle of your feather pad at the narrow end and press your satin with the buckle into the glue.

Now flip one end under and tack with hot glue on the back side. Do the same for the second side. On the backside of your feather pad trim the ribbon ends off straight across to get a good finished look. Run your lighter across the ends until they are slightly glossy which will prevent fraying. Finish securing the satin ribbon with more hot glue

Decide where you want your finished feather pad to lay on your headband. Add hot glue to your headband and press your finished feather pad, making sure to hold it long enough for the glue to set up.

Posh enough for fancy events. Versatile enough to wear with your everyday casual!
Ok, maybe not mine but not much looks appropriate with sweats, except maybe a scrunchie.
