Take This Craft & Sew It

Cute summer hair is easy with a twist wire headband like this.  Headed to the beach?  To the park?  Just running errands around town?  Pull your hair back in a twist wire headband and you’ve got fun summer hair with no fuss.  There’s no need to tie a knot – just twist the ends of the headband around each other and the wires inside will hold it in place.  It’s also great for holding your hair up in a bun.  Perfect for hot summer days when you want to keep your hair off your neck!

Petro at Easy Peasy Creative shows how you can sew a twist wire headband.  It’s a quick little project you can sew in about 30 minutes.  Though I have a feeling that once you sew one, you’ll want to sew a bunch!  And why not?  Because if one cute headband is good, a stack of them is even better!  And then you can have one to match any outfit.  Head to Easy Peasy Creative for the twist wire headband sewing tutorial.
