Easy Flapper Headband

Rice and Potatoes, two multi-talented gals on the notions floor of Britex Fabrics stitched this up in time for Halloween. Using only a needle & thread and three items, this easy to make flapper headband will transform you into a glamorous vamp in no time at all!

All of the supplies used to make this sparkly headband are from Britex Fabrics! Total cost is $8.68
- 1/2 yard 1 inch wide stretch sequined trim ($3.95/yd. = $1.98)
- 1/8 yard ostrich feathers ($21.95/yd. = $2.75)
- 1 large decorative rhinestone or applique ($3.95)
- Needle and thread

In order to make the headband base sew your stretch trim end to end, overlapping ends slightly. Make sure you sew a tight seam, so that it does not come undone!

Fold your fancy feathers in half two times over. They will now form a shorter, thicker bundle of feathery delight.

Tack your fluffy feathers together at the bottom, sewing lightly so they'll keep their shape. After the feathers are tacked together, sew them over the headband seam.

Sew your decorative rhinestone or applique over the headband seam and feather ends. The rhinestone or applique will cover all sewing glitches.

Now you are well on the way to becoming the cat's whiskers. Shimmy into a frock, pull up your silk stockings, get all dolled up, hussy on down to the Fairmont Hotel, and Bunny Hug the night away to the "Memphis Blues ".
