really wide hairband

bagpussmice · 15/09/2005 15:38

anyone know where I can get one...
I mean a material one, not a hard headband IYSWIM all the ones I have seen in Claire's accessories/Boots etc... aren't wide enough.
Would like one that you might buy at a festie or craft fair - anyone know any websites I could look at???

I got a couple of very wide ones in Claire's Accessories - have you had a really good look in there?

And Northerner ordered one from ASOS - we had a thread a while back about wide headbands (why has no-one mentioned my name on the MN addict thread, I wonder...)

marthamoo - last time I looked they didn't have the kind of ones I was after...
Just the plain black ones for holding hair off face for washing/applying makeup...
I was after a much wider one - approx 4 or 5 inches wide

Get an old t shirt with long or medium length sleeves, hack off sleeve at shoulder and at wrist, fold as appropriate and you have a perfect wide hair band!

spacedonkey, you can do something similar with old pair of black opaque tights (clean) if you avoid the gusset area... fnar
