DIY KITTY EARS HEADBAND
Halloween party planning can be a lot of fun, but as the host we often leave our costume to the last minute. Never fear this DIY Kitty Ears Headband and DIY Veiled Bow Headband can be made in a snap and they’re sure to take your look from Shriek to Chic in no time!
Since these headbands are so quick to make you can also create a few different styles and use them for fun photo ops for you and your guests at the party.
TOOLS & MATERIALS:
- Lace
- Pipe cleaners
- Headband
- Mesh
- Hot glue
- Scissors
DIY KITTY EARS HEADBAND
step 1
Take two of your pipe cleaners and bend them to shape your ears.
step 2
Add hot glue to one side of your ears and lay your lace across.
Let the glue dry.
step 3
Trim the lace around the ears.
Leave about a half inch or so and trim it irregular to give a more lacy furry look.
Bend the bottoms of the pipe cleaners on your ears.
step 4
Measure out the lace you will use for your veil.
I used about 18 inches.
step 5
I recommend trying on your headband and holding the lace up to see where it fits best.
Then glue the sides of your lace to your headband.
step 6
Next glue the top center of the lace to the top of your headband.
Start folding your lace to “gather” it along the top of your headband gluing as you go.
Let your glue dry.
step 7
Glue the bent part of the pipe cleaners on your ears to the headband.
Let dry.
step 8
Trim off all extra pipe cleaners and lace to make a smooth edge.
step 9
To cover up the ugly glue showing through the lace on the top of the headband, I glued pipe cleaners to the top of the headband.
DIY BOW HEADBAND
step 1
Fold one of your pipe cleaners into a rounded square.
Twist the ends together to close and trim off any extra.
step 2
Use two more pipe cleaners to for the sides of the bow.
Twist the ends together to close.
step 3
Add hot glue to one side of your bow.
Be sure to add glue to the whole side and lay your lace on top.
Let the glue dry.
step 4
Trim the lace around the bow leaving about a half inch and trim it irregular.
step 5
Use about a half yard of mesh.
Fold it in half.
step 6
Starting in the middle of your mesh and slightly off center on your headband, glue the mesh to the headband.
Continue gluing the mesh to your headband, folding and slightly bunching the mesh as you go.
Let the glue dry.
step 7
Glue the bow to the headband on top of the mesh.
Let the glue dry.
Finish the look with some dramatic makeup, a red lip and a little black dress and you’re sure to be the hostess with the mostess!
