I am growing out my hair at the moment and have been looking for ideas on how to dress it up a bit, particularly headbands. I wanted something right now though, so have been ransacking my craft supplies to come up with something that I could make myself. I found a length of black grosgrain ribbon and wondered how I could dress that up a little bit.
I eventually remembered that I had a spare teal blossom motif left over from when I was making up the kits and thought that would look pretty, so I gathered up some supplies. I used approx 42 inches of ribbon, a blossom motif, some size 11 seed beads and nymo beading thread.
I wanted my motif to be asymmetrical, so I measured 16 inches from one end of the ribbon and stitched on the motif using doubled nymo. I then back stitched on some seed beads for add emphasis.
And that was it, done! Easy peasy, now all I need to do is make sure I get my roots done before I take another close up of the barnet!
Happy Beading!

very cute Sarah!
I'd never have noticed the roots if you hadn't mentioned them! Love the handband - it looks great!
It is lovely and I totally agree with samboy - it is pretty enough (and well made enough) to sell.
I want to say thank you and how lovely it is to have you as a follower (I am now following your wonderful blog too). I'm sorry I didn't get over here sooner but Google blogspot was giving me trouble...I could not see or access my followers. :(
After 4 days I finally located the problem. Google had stopped accepting my old version of Internet Explorer so today I had to update my browser and downloaded a newer version of IE. Yea, I now can see my followers again. :)
This is just gorgeous Sarah! I have to agree with Samboy too, perfect for adding to your shop :)
Love it. Really summery
Thank you everyone! I have a few things to work out before I sell them, watch this space!
