Diamond Headband

What girl, young and old, doesn't love something sparkly? I know I do, and I'm 22. These headbands are adorable and spruce up any outfit.

What you'll need:

• Plain headband (plastic works better than metal. You can find them at the dollar store in a multipac.)
• Embroidery floss 
• Diamond chain (found this at Walmart for about $3)
• Hot glue gun
• Scissors

Step One:
          Using the floss, wrap the headband so it's all one color. (I don't have a picture. Sorry.)  Hot glue each end so it doesn't become unraveled.

Step Two:
         Take the diamond chain and glue one end to the side of the headband, about an inch and a quarter to an inch and a half above the bottom. Take the chain and line it up around the headband, gluing strategic points. Do this until you reach the other side and glue about an inch and half above the bottom. Cut off the excess diamonds. (Don't worry, they won't fall off.)

(Don't worry about the mess, you can scrape it off and it will be covered by the floss.)

Step Three:
           Take the floss and glue the end of the headband, on the inside. Start wrapping it around the inside of the diamonds, on the silver spaces. You should wrap each space two or three times so that you can't see the silver. I used a * star shaped wrap to make it fancy, but if you just use a regular wrap it will be fine.

Step Four:
          Hot glue the end of the floss to the inside of the headband once you reach the bottom of the diamonds and snip off the excess string.

Step Five:
         Straighten out the diamonds on the top and wear like you're a princess! I know I do ;)
