DIY Baby Headpiece

If you are an expectant mother, or you're already a mom now, I bet you'd love to make some cute accessories for your little angel.In this post, you'll get to know some DIY baby headpieces. I think the below pictures make up for the language barrier in explaining how to make this.

Wrap some flowers with ribbon or or cloth, glue them on a piece of comfortable fabric. (be sure the fabric length is close to your baby's head circumference.)

Or you can buy a piece of hair bands and wrap around soft cloth or ribbon to avoid hurting baby's head.

You can add some beads, like glass beads, sequins, rhinestones or glitters on the flower and headband to make it more shining.

And here, we have the holiday idea! Green and red ribbon flowers to coordinate with the coming Christmas!

Be ware if the headpiece is soft or comfort for newborn, or younger kids. However older children can try a little hard hair band findings which made of plastic, paper stick and so on.
Now do you want to make a lovely headpiece to compliment your little one's outfit for the coming holiday?

Using Glass Beads for Jewelry Design

Glass beads are one of the best beads that I love to work with.They come with fancy colors and have numerous shapes. Though you figure out an ordinary design, the result of combining the normal design with glass beads will finally be stunning. See the below examples: the first one is the normal usual multi-stranded bracelet, however; second one is the wire wrapped beaded hoops; and the third one is just wrap the beads on wire. 
These pretty combo of ordinary designs with beautiful glass beads make the whole jewelry so gorgeous, right? So in my mind, we should focus both designs and supplies to whip out something different!

DIY Wire Bead Crown

Floral crowns are the hottest wedding trend nowadays. The boho style fashion is favored by brides after brides. They can be wreath decorated with real flowers, fake flowers. And they can be also made with embellished beads. Here, I’d like to share an easy DIY wire and bead crown. Enjoy it by crafting your own!( tutorial source from: Style Me Pretty )

Materials for making flower crown:
Scissors
Round nose pliers
Diagonal cutting pliers
24 gauge craft wire
Beads
Sewing tape measure
Ribbon

How:
1st, measure and cut a piece of wire 6 times the length of the circumference of your head.
2nd, fold the long piece of wire in half around the round-nose pliers and begin twisting the wire. Continue until you have 4 inches of twisted wire.

3rd, once you reach 4 inches, take a bead and thread it onto the wire. Determine how long you want the first “branch” to be and fold the wire at that length with the bead in the middle and twist all the way down.


4th, twist for 1 inch and then add another bead.

5th, continue twisting and adding “branches” as you please, making sure to measure the progress you’ve made by holding it up against your forehead and looking in a mirror. The last “branch” should end just past your left ear. Once you’ve reached this point, twist for 4 inches.

6th, after the 4 inches, wrap one of the ends of the wire around the round-nose pliers. Twist that wire around the end a few times and then use the diagonal cutting pliers to cut off the remaining wire as well as the other end of the wire. Then, cut two pieces of ribbon long enough to tie into a bow and attach to the loop on each end with a knot.
