I'm lusting after these hairbands

[Time40]

I don't buy new clothes - I'm strictly vintage, Ebay and charity shops only ... but I'm so tempted by these. They've got them in the window of a shop I walk past regularly, and I think I might crack soon:

OOh they're bloody gorgeous! They're almost a hat they're so dramatic....they remind me of those little 1950s hairband hats....absolutely beautiful.

I have one from anthropologie

Gorgeous. Which one are you going for?

They're very pretty. I've been admiring them on the John Lewis website.

Oh they are gorgeous. And cheaper than similar ones I’ve seen.
If only I didn’t have a tiny little pea head. Things like this just won’t stay on.

Gorgeous. Which one are you going for?

Can't decide between the three on the top row, and the Floral - Teal, Modern Floral and Pansy

I have made several headbands, very similar to the ones shown here. I have used the fabric off a few summer dresses, dresses that I had to shorten. so didn't cost me anything as I have a large collection of different coloured cottons. I sew by hand, as don't have a machine.

1ForAll Did you use Buckram to stiffen them?

Ooh, those are lovely!

I wear headbands quite often. Mine are from primark though!
