DIY Ruched Fabric Headband Tutorial (Remake)

 Hello friends!

I recently found a dress at Goodwill that was in the same print as one of my FAVORITE skirt (made by H&M) and I had to buy it. I didn't know what I would do with it. Maybe wear it too?? But then I noticed the cute trend of matching your headband to your skirt and thought that would be so fun to remake my old headband into this beautiful floral! 

Using an old foam headband I never wear, this tutorial turned out sooo easy! Finished it while baby napped, even taking the time to record it AND make a video! Whattttt. :) No post for almost a year, I count this as a win! haha 


Let me know what you think!!! Also, if you're not subscribed to my YouTube Channel, I would be so happy if you would! I am enjoying the other aspect of this blog and being able to share my tutorials in video form (even though I still have a lot to learn!)

You can also watch the video here: 


Hope to make more of these soon! I have about 20 projects that I have actually recorded and hope to find the time to edit and post them!





With Love,

BEGINNER SERIES: DIY Hair Scarf or Neck Tie using Scrap Fabric

Hello hello!


I thought it would be fun to do a super simple DIY that could be classified as "Beginner Series": getting you into the joy of sewing and creating!!

I found a scrap of this yellow fabric in my refashion box (from this floral wrap skirt I made a long time ago!!) and the print brightened my day! The power of yellow! I thought it would be so pretty as a hair scarf or neck scarf so I quickly turned it unto just that. This literally took like 15 min to make! That includes taking the video as well ;)

If you are nervous to start sewing or just need a quick DIY to make you feel accomplished today, this is for you.

Click here for the YOUTUBE link!!!

Please please 'Like & Subscribe' there on my YouTube channel if you are enjoying my videos!! It takes a while to make a video (as anyone that edits, knows..) and would love your support there!!! I want to continue to provide videos as an easier way to explaining tutorials and DIYs.

Anyways, on to the pictures of 4 different ways to style a hair scarf / neck scarf if you made one or already have one!

1. BOHO CHIC - Pin back from of your hair from the lesser parted side;
wrap scarf around your head and tie behind your head, on top of your hair (not on the underside)
(I love this look with a swimsuit!!)




2. The simple pony. I wrapped the scarf around the pony before tying it, for a more secure fit.



3. Simple pony + HAT! This makes such an impact!! Bad hair day NEVER with this technique! :)


4. The neck scarf : I wrapped it around my neck first than tied it in the front but depeneding on the length of your scarf, you can just tie right away! Floral looks great with a stripe!




Thank you so much for reading and following along!! Please comment if you have any questions or if you tried this! Would love to see how you styled your scarf: tag me on IG @byviktoria!
