There’s a new craze in town
and everyone is going wild for the Roaring Twenties! In celebration of the
new Great Gatsby movie, here’s L’uccello’s tutorial on how to make your very
own 1920’s flapper headband.
You will need:
•Stretch velvet ribbon (enough to wrap snugly around
your head with a little extra, $6.75 per metre at L’uccello)
•A
feather (small ostrich feathers $3.50 each at L’uccello or an egret
feather $7.95 at L'uccello)
•A decorative embellishment – this could be a piece
of decorative lace, a vintage button or some sequins!
•A needle and thread (or
you could use a hot glue gun instead)
Step 1:
Wrap the stretch velvet around head and trim to
a comfortable length. It should be stretched, but not too tight – remember to
leave approx. 4cm for an overlap.
Step 2:
Trim feather to desired length and hide it’s end
in the overlap of the two ends of stretch velvet. Sew or glue the two ends
together, making sure to secure the feather in place.
Step 3:
Sew or glue a decorative embellishment over the
join, making sure to hide the ends of the velvet.
Step 4:
Now it’s time to hit the town with your fabulous 1920s inspired headband!
Psst! I heard there’s going to be a wild party at Gatsby’s tonight - you should come along! Don’t forget those dancing shoes!
