A bit of vintage…for a bitty price

Now don’t get me wrong, I LOVE prop shopping.

In fact, it’s possible one might label me addicted to prop shopping.

However, every now and then it’s fun to make your own unique creations…especially when they are as quick as these vintage-inspired headbands!

A little stretchy lace, soaked in tea, small piece of felt, some embellishments and your trusty glue gun

You can totally get creative with the embellishments. Flowers, feathers, netting, beads, buttons. (as long as it isn’t poky on the little precious baby it is going on!)

SAFETY NOTE: If you are creating things to use with older babies + toddlers, PLEASE be sure all pieces are secure, and always supervise them when they are wearing your creations!

In the comments below, let us know what DYI prop idea you would like us to tackle next!

share the love

    I’d love to see something along the lines of basket filler……… those blankets on etsy are so expensive, there must be an easy way, even though I can’t knit or crochet. 😉

    Love this!!
    What about restoring a prop, like an old bucket or crate for a DYI project? 🙂

    What does “DYI” stand for?

      It’s a typo! Should be DIY (do-it-yourself!)

      Would modpodge work? Maybe like vintage print scrapbook paper or fabric?

      China Busques Ard,you mean like a paper mache over the top? I was wondering also like a plaster.. to re-texture it and then add paint, to vintage it up.

    Where did you find the stretchy lace? Did you buy a big piece from the fabric store, or did it come that thin? I’ve been looking for some, but can’t find it anywhere.

      I believe it was from Michael’s (a big craft store)
