If you pick up any fashion magazine or browse the racks of your favorite store, you will notice that ruffles are really “in” right now. But if you are like me and like the look but are low on funds I have a low budget solution…a ruffled headband.
To make this headband you can use any lightweight material that you have in your stash. I used an old chiffon skirt. But how about some organic cotton or vintage finds?
To make this headband, you will need the following tools and materials:
- Approximately a quarter yard of lightweight material (chiffon, organza, cotton, etc)
- Scissors
- Sewing needle and thread in appropriate color
- Wide Headband
- Hot glue gun
- Straight pins
- Ruler
- Piece of paper
- Pencil/pen
- Buttons Optional

I love it! Its beautiful. Do you think this would work on an elastic headband that wraps all the way around your head?
