How it was made:

1. Cut 3 pieces of muslin around 2 feet depending on your head size.
2. Cut 2 pieces of black lace at the same length.
3. Sew all the pieces together at one end. I just put them on top of each other and sewed them down that way but it did come out a little bit bulkier than I would have liked.
4. Start weaving a classic braid one on top of another. While you do this experiment with weaving he lace strips in and out of the braid.
5. Once you get the braid to the size of your head (or longer if you would like to wear it as a necklace as well) and sew the end of the braid together.
6. Find any old earring or pin that you like and play with how you want it to sit on your head. Once you find the sweet spot sew on your bling as discreetly as you can.
7. Ta dah! Tie it on at the length you desire and it is done. To turn this headband into a necklace just sew the braid together at a longer length.
