Boho chic is not just about the clothes you wear, the flowery dresses, the denim jeans, jackets and leather boots, it’s about the accessories you add to your outfit to exude that classy but carefree boho look. With bohemians, a favorite is the bohemian chic headband, which further displays the feminine nature of the boho chic look. Here’s how to make a boho chic headband for very little money, quickly and easily, using fabric trims.

Fabric trims and other items used to make the home made headband can be found online, ordered from manufacturers, in a haberdashery or crafts store. Online stores or manufacturers have a wider choice, enabling you to choose from more designs.

First of all choose your fabric trim, you are going to use for your headband. Leather fabric trims for this are popular because they last a long time and they are reminiscent of the 60′s flower children’s style. With recent fashion, we have seen leather braided styles in browns, blacks, silvers and gold’s, as they coordinate very well with hair and clothes. It’s always best to choose a colour that will reflect your style, go with your clothes and match or stand out from your hair.

To create this bohemian style of headband, purchase a suitable piece of leather fabric trim, which is wide enough to be cut into three sections (at over 1cm each) and over the length required to fit your head. With the length, you need to have an extra few inches, around 7-8, so that it can be connected up. You will then probably need a strip around 50cm to fit comfortably.

So after cutting you leather fabric trim into 3 pieces, measure in a good few inches, around 7-8 on each side and pin together using a safety pin. Then you can begin to braid the leather fabric trims together and then pin together. Make sure it is securely pinned together do that it does not unravel, and place around your head to make sure you have enough room to get the headband on and off. Then you will need to attach together the three braided pieces of leather using rivets and a rivet gun. Rivets will give your boho headband that extra hippie look, as they can be found with different patterns on, including Celtic patterns.

Then when satisfied, place boho headband on head, either over the forehead in the traditional hippy style or in the hair, and tie. You could also add beads and other trims such as diamante trims and fabric flowers to add a unique look to your boho headband.
