DIY Lace Mickey/Minnie Mouse Headband

I've been obsessed with mickey/minnie mouse ears lately and had some black lace laying around, so why not combine the two?

Your Going to need:

headband

lace

rubber wrapped wire

black electrical tape or black paint (if your wires aren't black)

chalk

pliers

sewing machine

hot glue gun

bend the wires around something round. the two circles should be around 4 inches apart.

trace one ear onto a piece of paper leaving the bottom as a rectangle. cut it out

trace out four pieces of lace using the template.

stack two pieces together and sew using zigzag stich. repeat to the other two pieces.

wrap the wires with electrical tape or paint only if the wires aren't already black.

bend the wires around the headband to secure. make sure they're sturdy and won't move.

turn the two lace ears inside out and insert the wires.

glue the ends of the lace by wrapping it around where the wire meets the headband.

take a black ribbon (used velvety fabric b/c didn't have any) and cut into a long strip.

start wrapped it around the headband and secure with hot glue.

this is what it should look like.

 

for minnie mouse wrap a red ribbon in the middle.

 and done!!
