Making Simple Ribbon Headpieces
If you can't find a ribbon headband to match your outfit, make your own instead of buying one. When creating your own headband, you get to choose not only the pattern, but the width of the ribbon and the size. Thicker ribbons work best, but any ribbon made with cloth can be used to make a headband. Does this Spark an idea?
