Occasionally I suffer from a raging case of Bad Hair Day. Actually, it happens a lot. My crazy-curly hair has a mind of its own. Really, it does! And it often conspires with the Florida humidity to cause me to reach for the scissors...
...And real quick, stitch up a hair tie that will distract from my Bad Hair Day.
Reaching into my stash of vintage hankies, I chose a couple with yellow rose buds:
Then laid them out and sewed two ends together:

Next, I rolled them up, length-wise and ironed them flat:
And stitched the entire length:
Wha-la! I tied it around my ginormous bun. A five minute alternative to a baseball cap...
Another way to upcycle my ever-growing vintage hankie stash.

Hello Cindy,
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this tutorial. ;o) I have a drawer packed full of vintage hankies for this project. I am certain that you never have a bad hair day because you always look so beautiful. Have a creative day.

Wow Cindy! His hair was looking like a princess ... beautiful!
ReplyDeleteBut you have so many ideas, is not it? I find this the most!
Yesterday I was talking to my husband and saying American as you can all leave the house clean, organized and still have time to do nice things!
I can not every day I have so many chores to do that do not have time for my paintings on wood, my scrapbookings, my laces anyway, I can not. Cindy teaches me, please!
A big hug from her friend apart.
Luciana
PS: May God bless you!
What a great use for vintage hankies, of which I have many! That humidity is a killer for hair. Thanks for sharing this super idea.
ReplyDeleteThat is just super cute!
ReplyDeleteCindy, cute way to decorate your hair bun and way cooler that wearing a baseball cap. Since it seems you have an abundance of vintage hankies have you ever thought of making them into headbands? I'd be interested if you did!
