Spring fever is in full effect. Follow your heart with a headband as you step into the season with some extra sparkle and shine. Mix luminous and rich materials with earthy textures for a match made in heaven. Get inspired by crazy cool crystals from SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS and springtime hues for a haute headband thats to DIY for!
To create: Measure and cut SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS CUPCHAIN TRIM to fit the top of the headband. Chain should cover all but the bottom inch of the headband. Cut 4 feet of colored raffia and fold in half. Secure chain to the headband by knotting raffia onto the end of the cupchain trim. Begin wrapping from the bottom and continue all the way around securing chain. Use the cross-over method going over and under each crystal you wrap. Knot off once you reach the end and snip off any remaining raffia.

Follow theMercedes-Benz iconic road map for luxury and celebrate style with this DIY fashion project. Inspired by iconic essentials and unique modern design , we created a j’amazing braided headband using Mercedes-Benz leather and layered in texture, to top it off. After all, it is Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week and we want to cruise around in style.
To create, cut a piece of leather approximately 1/2” wide and 2.5-3 ft long. Add a bright cord (or ribbon) and ball chain. Knot all three materials together onto a hair elastic and braid. Once you have a braid long enough to wrap around your head, knot off on the other end of the hair elastic. Be sure to pull tight to make sure it’s secure. Snip the ends and you’re ready to brave a bold braided accessory!

To create, Pick up hair combs from you local drug or beauty store. I’m a huge Goody fan, personally! Rip pieces of cotton material into 1” strips. Leave a little bit of a frayed edge will give you more texture. If you want a cleaner look, cut your fabric strips with scissors. P.S.- If you cant find fabric, cut up an old tee that may be lying around. Double knot two 12” strips on one end of a tooth. Weave the fabric in and out of the teeth, and repeat with the second piece. Double knot both pieces together on the last tooth, and snip the ends. You’re ready to rock the up do and adorn your hair with the ultimate DIY accessory. Get creative with your hair style using bobby pins, and other styling tools for various looks.
