Let me know what you find out! I want to know how to make those too! I am assuming all you do is sew on (or hot glue) some seed beads in a pattern.
I've never made a headband, but the styles you like might be easy to do. Looks like you'll need some ribbon and embellishments. You could get some kind of appliqué or they make some very detailed embellished ribbon that you could find online (http://www.mjtrim.com/ comes to mind) or at a local fabric/trimming shop. Either just attach/sew the details on top the ribbon itself, or at either end of two strips of ribbon. Tie in the back of the head.
Good luck!
Hey hun I make headbands actually! I made mine for my wedding! you should be able to accomplish this on your own for around $16! all you need to do is search crystal trim and a lot of different ones pop up once you find one you like go to your local craft store find some ribbon and just sew the trim onto the ribbon if you need any help feel free to PM me!
Thanks. I'll do some research. I'll post (or pm futureMrsChaney) again if I need help and when I make it I'll be sure to post it on here. As long as it turns out that is.
They are most likely $90 and up because they are hand beaded (at least the first one looks like it is). You could hand bead it yourself, but it takes some definite patience, planning and time to get it done. I am considering making one for myself, but am not 100% on that choice as of yet. Good luck!
Here are some of my tips:
1) Check out some notions - lace ribbons, etc - in a pattern that you like.
2) Find some beads or rhinestones. Beads should best be attached by sewing (simple thread and needle) and rhinestones can be fastened with glue (there are some specific ones for rhinestones/fabric).
3) You can choose a nice ribbon, if you would it more like the second picture. This may actually be the best to act as a base, since lace ribbon can be too supple or stretchy to hold on it's one. If you attach it on top of the ribbon, it can help to hold the shape.
4) So that it's headband like - elastic-y and all - you will want to attach a short segment of elastic. This would be for the part that is below the back of your hair. You will have a sew this onto the ribbon as well.
Good luck!
I'm making headbands for my bridesmaids using this video:

So far, I have one finished and have two more in the works, but they look good. I bought pearl beads at Hobby Lobby and Michael's.
I'm debating about making one for myself or making a fascinator instead.
Thats a good video. She made a very cute headband. Thanks for sharing :-)
You guys are giving me a lot of inspiration and food for thought. Thanks!
@Engaged_With_Love: Here's the same exact beaded trim as your first photo. You get a whole yard for 30+ bucks! I bought one yard of a similar trim to make a belt and have enough left over for a headband too :)

I am wanting a headband but I just can't see spending an arm and a leg for one. I keep finding beautiful headbands but the are $90 and up.
So I am a pretty crafty person and thought I could make my own headband and that would be more special to me anyways. The problem is I don't know where to start. I have had very little experience in jewlry making. I think that would be the category it'd go under.
Anyways, any thoughts, ideas, or know how?
Thanks.
