head band Del Rey
Peace & Love readers,
Today I'm offering you a very Lana Del Reysquien DIY - yes, it's a style in its own right, if her voice and mouth (and eyes and nose) are anything to go by, please, this girl's got a style all her own. Part mad men(ien) pin-up, part chew gum-chewing bad girl in a Scott bomber.... There's something about her that fascinates me (a little), I must admit, and above all, she's got some crazy floral headbands! If you too fancy a flower crown remastered by me, listen to the following. The article is long but the DIY is super easy...
Go to Video Games and download theBOSS HEAD BAND"....
To do this, you'll need- 80 cm of cord (or a ready-made elastic head band)
- scissors, glue, pen.
- thread and needle.
- thick fabric (not too frayed), tulle and tarlatan (butter cloth).
- and 2 or 3 H&M fabric flowers - it's only 2.95€.
Start by tracing 9 discs on your thick fabric (gabardine or denim style), cut them out (2&3). Get out some small pins, and you'll see how simple it is (4). Fold your disks in 2, then in 4 (images 5 & 6). Using a pin, prick the tip of your folding and remove it from the pin, repeating the operation 3 times (7&8). Don't hesitate to alternate your folding on the right side and on the reverse for greater color balance. Draw your thread and needle, and join your 3 folds where you stitched (9), making a loop for added strength (iron a second time where you stitched: 10). And repeat the operation with your other 2 folding skewers, without cutting the thread, following your first assembly (11 & 12). To form your "Anemones de fleur" flower (aptly named), stitch the first petal and the last, doubling this stitch... ( 13) and turn over TADA! you can do the same with tarlatan or even tulle.
Trace your flowers on the tarlatan, cut them out (1&2), keeping only the smallest for now. Using glue, attach the petals one on top of the other to form a bud (4,5&6). Wrap this bud in another flower to form a small purse (7&8). Now form your flower, glue the base of your bud and multiply the layers of flowers ( 9&10), pinching them in your fingers, once all the layers are arranged in staggered rows, make a stitch with the thread and needle to secure the whole (stitch right up to the bud) turn over TA-DA bis!
Last flower style: the tulle "pompon". To begin, fold the tulle evenly and with a pair of good scissors, cut strips of tulle. I won't teach you how to make pompons, but you'll see that I really like pompons (more on that later...) Take your 2 cardboard disks and start wrapping the tulle around them (2), working your way around several times - the pompon needs to be supplied all the same (3). With the scissors, cut between the 2 cardboard disks and hold the tulle firmly (so that it doesn't escape...4&5). And with a strip of tulle or string, secure the pom-pom by tying a knot between the 2 cardboard discs (6). Remove the cardboard and TA-DA ter!
Then attach each flower to the cord or elastic headband, either by tying knots (pompon 8) or by stitching them with the needle and thread (9)! and off you go to tell your story... see you soon!
