I love to Create: Zipper Embellished Headbands

If you watch the fashion gossip shows or flip open a magazine, it's hard not to notice that zipper detailing is a H-O-T trend right now. How does a crafty gal incorporate said zippers into her wardrobe without re-enacting Michael Jackson's "Thriller" video (respect, yo)? Headbands, my friends, headbands. They're the perfect accessory for getting your zipper on, in a snap! Here's how you can make your own.

Materials

Assorted Headbands

Metal Zippers

Liquid Fusion

Scissors

Needle & Thread/Netting Scrap (Flower Version Only)

How-To

Straight-Up Version

• Separate zipper and cut off ends.

• Use Liquid Fusion to glue zipper strip on to headband. Let dry.

Flower Version

• Separate zipper and cut off ends.

• Using a needle and thread, sew a running stitch through zipper strip. Pull thread to make strip curl into flower shape. Hand tack to keep shape in place.

• Cut a circle of netting. Scrunch, tack and fix to zipper flower with needle and thread.

• Use Liquid Fusion to glue embellishment to headband.
