How to: Wire Headband

The other day my dad bought some stuff that came with a lot of wires in the packaging, and I thought that I could make it into some sort of accessory, one of them being a wire headband. *Keep in mind that this particular headband isn't used to actually hold back hair, so if you're looking for something to hold back your hair, this is not it.*

You'll need some wire (preferably 2  pieces that are about 2 and 3 feet long) and maybe some pliers if your wire isn't particularly flexible.

First, pick up the longer piece and wrap it around your head. It shouldn't be too tight, but it shouldn't just fall off your head either. Once you have it to your head's size, take it off but make sure that the wire stays molded to the shape of your head's circumference. From there just wrap the wire over and over itself. The 2nd piece is optional, it depends on whether you want your headband to be more intricate looking or not.

It should end up looking like this.

Make sure that there aren't any sticking out parts so that you don't stab yourself by accident.
You can wear it so that it goes across your forehead like a "hippy headband" (I don't think there is an official name for those, but I'm using the term hippy loosely so that you guys can get the image) or you can wear it so that it's like tiara. That's usually how I wear it.
It should encircle the crown of your head



I hope you like how it looks!
