The Finished DIY

So I went home on Friday and started the headband which was suprisingly easy to create if you have a penchant for patience. Which I don't have, however for the purpose of creating something truly cool and original I decided to knuckle down and by Saturday I had a finished masterpiece. Note: It actually only took me about an hour to achieve! Very quick and easy!

Tomorrow or the next day I'll show you all, the cool skirt that I made for a free dress day at school recently.

Here it is, the second headband that I made which is modeled by a great friend of mine, Ms. Rosie. This headband I crafted solely for the purpose of school just because it was so preppy. The design is a copy of the signature headbands by fashion brand, Luella. In case you live under a rock, Luella is quite like the edgy little prepster that would sit at the back of the classroom yelling and making paper aeroplanes yet somehow maintain an A grade average whilst rocking huge thick rimmed glasses!

Props for my headband.

As I promised yesterday I have the photo of the Alannah Hill headband I made and wore today at school. So without further adieu, here it is;
BTW it came to life more when I was wearing it, and the verdict on whether it was a hit would have to be yes and no. Yes because even teachers liked it and their the ones that are supposed to tell me to take it off, and no-in a good way though-because some people just didn't know what to say except, "wow, that's a really big bow!", well der! I also got a couple of shocked reactions when I told people that I'd made it mysef, people were kind of like 'are you serious?' like I wasn't capable of producing something so well made!

Hope you like, oh and by the way I've also made a copy of Luella's signature headbands which also turned out fantastic and which is my favourite which I'll post about tomorrow!

DIY: Alannah Hill Headband

Just a bit of an update on all things related to fashion and myself, recently I embarked upon the mission to make an exact replica of this Alannah Hill grosgrain bow headband that my friends and I found. So as you do on a mission you have people who want to join in the fun, people being my friend, J, who wanted a copy of it too. So, being the wonderful friend that I am I agreed to make her the same as what I was doing for myself. Which was, one blue -for school aka Blair Waldorf style- and one in the original emerald green which I have to say looked hot with my red hair (oh she's so modest!). Therefore, I hunted around for all of the materials, and I mean hunted because by god it is hard to find the perfect size emerald green grosgrain ribbon! But eventually my friend and I found everything I needed and I went home happy as pie to make fifty thousand of these headbands (fifty thousand being four in this instance), little did I know the work ahead of me! And in saying that I have to admit though that it was all worth it. In the end after at least 10hours work, I had four perfect replicas of the amazing emerald green, grosgrain ribboned, velvet covered originals minus the hefty $120 price tag. Now you have to admit, that is talent and determination if you ever saw it (there's that modesty again)!

So after all of the effort and fun I had making the headbands tomorrow is the decider as to whether anyone else will like my handy work, when I strut into school aka Blair style sporting my new baby blue number. Will it be a hit or will I just be left loving it by myself, who knows, but what's more is, WHO CARES CAUSE I KNOW WHAT'S BEST!
