DIY Turban Headband - anthropologie inspired

I've been seeing so many types of these headband turbans on Antropologie, like this one, that I had to try and DIY one myself, it seemed easy enough, the only problem was that I didn't have any nice fabric to use. So I just grabbed my plain white fabric, and tried some patterns and textures to see which one worked best. As you can see I went for a colorful brushed look, and I'm pretty happy with the result.

You will need:
White or patterned fabric | plastic headband | hot glue gun | measuring tape or ruler | needle and thread | scissors | acrylic paint | paint brushes.

Start by cutting a rectangle of fabric with 18x11 inch or 45x28 cm, and a smaller one for the middle part of the headband with 6x4.5 inch or 15x12 cm.

Paint the fabric all over with random brush strokes in different colors like so, and once you have enough color, set it aside to dry and paint the smaller rectangle with the same technique.

Let both parts dry completely and cut the edges.

Fold the fabric in half, right sides together and use a fine line of hot glue to hold.

Turn the right side out and press the seam in the center. At this point, you can also see if the fabric is not too big for the headband, and trim if needed.

Gather the ends on both sides, making a small stitch to secure.

Glue the fabric to the headband, small sections at a time,

Cut 2 new small rectangles of fabric, and fold the edges inside, and hold it using a bit of glue.

Cover the end of the headband, by first folding the fabric in half, and wrapping it around

Grab the smaller rectangle that you painted, and fold the sides inside, I actually had to fold mine twice, because it was still too wide, to fit the headband.

Place the right sides together and glue the edges, turn the right side out, slide it onto the headband.

If you made this, what pattern would you use?

Hope you enjoyed this diy, and I will talk to you soon,

DIY Painted Stone

Hi everyone, some of you might have noticed my absence in the past few days, I've had a problem with my internet connection and could not post the new printable I had prepared neither the top5. But finally everything is working properly now and I took advantage of my no internet time to make this project.

First of all for this project you are going to need a stone, I found this smooth surfaced one when I was at the beach last month, and it took me a while to figure out what I wanted to paint in it, there are endless possibilities. I took advantage of the shape of the rock and made the drawing fit in that area, this drawing is inspired by a tattoo I saw on Pinterest.

Make the drawing on your stone, if your drawing skills are not the greatest, you can also transfer it by printing the image with the right size, cutting around the edges of the image and tracing the shape onto the surface.

Start by painting with the lightest color first, I had to paint two coats of yellow. Take some time to look at your image properly, discovering which parts are darker and have more shades or volume.
I used orange and a light shade of brown to give dimension to the body of the fish.

Lastly, add details like the eyes and if you want to protect your design paint a thin coat of clear varnish spray.

I still have to figure out where to put this, maybe I could use it as a paper weight, any suggestions?

Talk to you soon,
