Let’s be honest, headbands are not a pricey purchase, but making something you are proud enough to wear is infinitely more fun. Not only will you feel pride getting your Martha Stewart on, but this DIY can also be a great handmade gift for all the girly girls in your family.

For DIY inspiration, we (once again) turn again to Erica Domesek, founder, and author of P.S.- I Made This to show us how to create this très adorable braided headband. Materials needed for this project can be found at your local craft store. You can substitute leather for pleather or other equivalent material if you’re going for a vegan vibe and then pair it with eye-catching neon colors for contrast. After following Domesek’s user-friendly instructions below and have the finished product, wear it with a messy bun, a teased 50’s bob, or a sleek ponytail.
