DIY: Lace Bandeau

Okay, so like I've been saying, I am totally obsessed with LACE. Tis' the season for lace I guess! I got the inspiration for this DIY from my excessively over protective boyfriend, believe it or not. The other night we went to a bar and apparently my shirt was a little too see through for his liking. SO being the good girlfriend I am (let me rephrase that Fashion forward girlfriend) I decided I would make a pretty bandeau that I would not feel totally lame wearing.

Materials

Solid color bandeau
STRETCHY lace fabric (make sure it is stretchy because it needs to coincide with the bandeau)
Thread and needle (I used a sewing machine but thread and needle could easily be used)
Scissors


This DIY is very simple. It is also not too time consuming, if you are using a sewing machine. Otherwise, it will take you probably about an hour, depending on what level your sewing is at. 

First, you will want to take the stretchy lace material and measure how much you will need, according to the bandeau size. Then, you will want to position it very precisely. What I did was take some pins so the material stays in place. Once you do that the only thing left to do is sew. SEW SEW and Sew some more. And there you have it! A quick and easy way to whip up a lace bandeau!
