The pioneers didn't have the luxury of running to the store to buy a new hair pretty. If they wanted something, they had to make it. Beings I live 45 miles from the nearest stop light, so do I. And now you can too!
I love vintage pieces of clothing and jewelry. So when I saw this lace, I had to pick it up. I've seen lot's of tutorials for cloth headbands and I made one from the scraps of material left over from my sew your own throw pillows project.
But not everyone has a sewing machine. And that's where my idea for a no sew headband was born. All you need is a scrap of lace or ribbon and a pony tail band. No glue, no needle, no thread!
Measure around your head with the lace and leave about two inches extra on each side. Tie one end to the pony tail holder. Pull knot tight and place back on your head. Tug the pony tail holder taut and line up your lace there. Hold the spot with your thumb and tie to holder there. Don't tighten the knot yet.
Try your headband on. I had to untie the knot on mine and shorten it. Try on again and if it's the right length, tighten that last knot in place. There you go. You can clip a flower to the side of it if you want, but I love it just like this.
I thought they were so cute I made one for each of us.
What's your favorite homemade accesory? Do you love vintage items, tell us your favorite.

Daucus carota Sporting delicate white frills perched on tall stems, and that cute purple center flower that’s so often a feature, Queen Anne’s lace was one of my favorite childhood wildflowers. They grew everywhere. One summer, my sister and I ambitiously harvested a few pails full, bundled and stuffed them into plastic sleeves, and sent them on the truck with my dad’s greenhouse-grown cut flowers to the flower auction. As common in ditches and on field ma
After asking several of you if this would be a subject of interest, the answer was yes. The video is done as tastefully as I could while still showing you how to do things. The pioneers had to butcher their own meat and while you can go to a butcher, we prefer to do things ourselves if we can. Below is the video link to show you how to butcher and prep a whole pig for a pig roast. It starts after the pig is shot and bled, beginning with the scraping off of the hair. To scrape off the hair, y
My vegetable garden provides me with great enjoyment. I feel immense satisfaction from planting a seed, watching it grow, and produce. I wonder if God feels that way about us? I also like knowing my family is eating healthy food, untouched by chemicals, and who knows what else on its way to the store. Plus, I get to harvest my food at its peak for best taste and freshness. Its a lot of work. Doing most things from the ground up is. But its worth it. Right now is the perfect time to order yo
