How to make a Braided headband

Last week I showed you how to make Highlights. Today I am going to show you how to make a Braided Headband!!!!! When American girl released the braided headbands I was like YEAH! than I looked at the price.

Not happening.

So when I got the hair for the Highlights and it had a braid on the headband I thought, Lets give this a try! :)

 

 

 

For this project I used a blond hair extension from my local Dollar tree. It cost $1 and the snaps I bought in a pack a Walmart for $3 or $4 dollars. Have gotten A LOT of use out of them. 

 

 

 

Here is a picture of what I had to start with. It is a plastic headband with a braid running along the top. The extensions is about 26" long.

 

I cut the hair off of the headband. And was left with this.

 

Carefully brake the plastic band right above the cloth bottom.

(Note: The end is covered with a piece of cloth)

 

Start pealing the braid off the band. All the way around.

 

Brake the plastic at the other end. The same place you did on the other side.

 

Here is is laid out flat.

 

If you look carefully you can see where I cut the hair of the braid. You may need to trim if they seem to long. Just be careful you don't cut the braid.

 

Next I glued on side of a snap to the plastic piece at the end of the braid.

 

Wrap the braid around the dolls head and note where the snap comes down.

 

Glue the snap on there.

 

And your done. Clip underneath the head.

 

Hope you enjoyed!

 

 

 

How to Make Highlights!

So If you have read my last post you will know my opinion of the movie Frozen :)

Well I decided to make a Highlight like Anna's. However this can be used with any color.

 

 

You will need:

Hair extinctions (I got mine from the Dollar Tree) 

Scissors

Comb

Hair tie

Water Bottle

hair Clip

Hot Glue gun.

 

First tie the hair into a ponytail

 

Then carefully cut around the headband. Save the headband for a later project.

 

Separate out the amount of hair you want in the highlight.

 

Glue the end of the hair to the clip like this.

 

Glue the back to

 

Now separate the extension from the rest of the hair.

 

And cut the short ends off.

 

Putting the Clip in:

 

Separate a strip of hair in the front

 

Then lift the top of the hair up just behind the first strip.

 

Place the clip in

 

Holding the clip.... Comb Threw the hair.

 

Style how you wish.
