How to make a 15mm woven ribbon headband

At Think Bowtique we have all your hair bow and headband making supplies right here in Australia.   See our range of wholesale grosgrain ribbon and satin ribbons and headband supplies.

 

You will need:

a hot glue gun,

1 15mm plastic headband,

4 x 64cm of 9mm grosgrain ribbon you can use grosgrain ribbon or satin ribbon.

 I am using 2 x 64cm of Hot pink grosgrain ribbon and 2 x 64cm of Cappuccino grosgrain ribbon.

Glue 1 length of hot pink grosgrain ribbon to the cappuccino grosgrain.  Then do the same with the other 2 lengths.  Overlap about 1cm.

 

I am going to have the Hot pink grosgrain ribbon as my center colour and the cappuccino grosgrain ribbon as the outside colour.  With a dab of hot glue on the outside edge of the headband glue so the cappuccino grosgrain ribbon is on the headband. Hot pink grosgrain ribbon will face up to the right side.  Then glue a dab on the inside of the headband and glue the cappuccino grosgrain ribbon to the headband with the hot pink up to the left.

 

The top colours are your inside diamonds and the bottom colours are your outside triangles.

 

Now bring the right side hot pink grosgrain ribbon over the back of the headband to the left.  The Left hot pink grosgrain ribbon over the front to the right.

 

 

Pull front hot pink grosgrain ribbon behind the headband under the cappuccino grosgrain ribbon over to the left.

The Left hot pink grosgrain ribbon over the front to the right.

 

You now have 2 hot pink grosgrain ribbon and a cappuccino grosgrain ribbon on the left and 1 cappuccino grosgrain ribbon on the right.

 

 

Pull the top hot pink grosgrain ribbon (not the pink you just moved to the left) under the cappuccino grosgrain ribbon to the front right side.

You will have 1 of each colour on each side.

  

 

Take the cappuccino grosgrain ribbon from the right side bring it over the top hot pink grosgrain ribbon and under the botton hot pink grosgrain ribbon.

You will have 2 brown grosgrain ribbons and 1 hot pink grosgrain ribbon on the left and 1 hot pink grosgrain ribbon on the right.

 

 

Take the brown grosgrain ribbon pull it to the back of the headband under the hot pink grosgrain ribbon and to the right.

You will now have 2 of each colour on each side.

So you are now back at the start of your weave.

 

 

Pull the front hot pink grosgrain ribbon to the back under the brown grosgrain ribbon and to the left side.

 

 

Pull the top hot pink(not the pink you just moved to the left) over to the front under the cappuccino to the right side.

You will have 1 of each colour on each side.

 

 

Take the cappuccino grosgrain ribbon from the left side bring it behind the headband and under the pink grosgrain ribbon.

You will have 2 brown grosgrain ribbon and 1 pink grosgrain ribbon on the left and 1 pink grosgrain on the right.

 

 

 

Pull the top brown over the front under pink grosgrain ribbon to the left and your back at the start again.

 

 

Keep repeating until you get to the end.  Pull the grosgrain ribbons tight as you weave and if you have a gab push the ribbon back towards the start.  Use the clip to keep in place as you go.  The inside of the headband will look the same as the top or outside.

 

Once you get to the end do a weave so you cover the headband.  Hold with a clip.

 

 

The end of the headband.

 

Hold in place with clip.  Lift the pink grosgrain ribbon and hot glue to the brown grosgrain ribbon.

Do the same with the pink grosgrain ribbon on the back.

 

 

Now glue the 2 brown grosgrain ribbon together.

 

 

 Snip of the extra grosgrain ribbon and seal the ends with a lighter.

 

 

You can attach a clip under the grosgrain ribbon and attach your hairbow or flower.

 

 

Finished.
