In homes, children use hair bands to decorate their hair, but after they wear out, they often remain unused at home. Girls constantly ask for new and beautiful hair bands, so people tend to throw away old ones, considering them useless. However, few people know that old hair bands can be reused.
Instead of throwing away old hair bands, they can be transformed into something completely new and beautiful using a little creativity. This does not require spending a lot of money. Old hair bands can be updated using pearls, stones, ribbons, and leftover fabric that you have at home. Below are simple ways to carry out such a makeover.
Using Old Hair Bands
Creating a royal headband with pearls
If you have artificial pearls, you can use them to give the headband a very beautiful appearance. First, you need to clean the headband, and then glue the pearls as needed. By mixing small and large pearls, you can create a design in the form of flowers or any other beautiful pattern. Such a headband will look very cute with a girl's traditional outfit.
Giving a shiny look with stones
If the stones attached to the old headband have fallen off, you can use new stones or Kundan for its reuse. This will give the headband a new look, and no one will know that it is an old accessory. You can place large stones in the center of the headband, and small ones around them, to give it a festive look. This headband will look especially beautiful with Radha Rani's attire during the Janmashtami festival.
Creating flowers from fabric scraps
You should not throw away fabric scraps from old costumes, dupattas, or dresses. These pieces can be cut into small parts and shaped into flowers or petals, and then attached to the headband. Adding a pearl or a small stone to the center of the flower will make it even more striking. You can choose the fabric color to match the girl's outfit, creating a personalized headband.
Using for Radha Rani's Look
If you want to give your daughter the look of Radha Rani for Janmashtami, giving an old headband a makeover can be very useful. It can be decorated with artificial small flowers. The headband can also be styled like a tiara, similar to the one worn by Radha Rani.
Decorating with ribbons and lace
Bright ribbons and lace can also breathe new life into an old headband. The ribbons should be carefully wrapped around the headband and the ends securely fastened. Then, it can be further decorated with lace, pearls, or small flowers to make it even more exquisite.
