[Part 2] Cute Halloween headbands: Popular DIY ideas you can make easily (1–10)
Pumpkin Mickey
If you like unique costumes, how about a Mickey headband made with pumpkins? Start by covering a plain headband base with white felt, then wrap it with a sequin ribbon.
Gather pumpkin parts in large and small sizes (you can find them at 100-yen shops).
First, use a hot glue gun to secure the larger pumpkins where the ears would be.
Then attach two smaller pumpkins so that the large pumpkin becomes the face, and your pumpkin Mickey headband is complete.
Your child is sure to be thrilled with this quirky take on Mickey! It’ll look adorable paired with a cute outfit.
Kikiribbon
Let’s become Kiki from Kiki’s Delivery Service with a red ribbon headband! All you need are red fabric, a headband, and stuffing.
Cut the fabric into rectangles: one to cover the headband and one for the ribbon, then sew each into a tube.
Thread the headband through the narrow fabric tube and stitch it closed to complete the base.
Next, fill the ribbon tube with stuffing and sew it shut, pinch the center to shape the bow, then wrap the extra fabric around the center and sew it in place to secure.
Finally, sew the bow onto the headband, and you’re done! Pair it with a black dress and a broom to feel like a trainee witch.
rolled horn
A horn headband that also pairs well with goth-lolita outfits.
Wrap thick wire around an empty bottle or similar form, shaping it into a spiral until it reaches the desired horn thickness.
Once the wire base is done, wrap it with toilet paper, misting it with water to make it adhere, and repeat this process.
When it reaches the ideal thickness, brush diluted wood glue over the entire surface and let it dry.
Finally, paint it with gray or black paint and attach it to a headband to finish.
It’s surprisingly realistic and sturdy for something made with toilet paper! Give it a try.
Haunted Mansion cast member style
Disney fans will recognize it in an instant! This is a Haunted Mansion-style headband like the Cast Members wear.
Prepare a wide velvet headband.
For the lace pieces, use felt as a base and cover it to create the shape.
Once you attach the lace parts, add a green ribbon and a bat to finish.
For the bat, sew two pieces of felt together, stuff them with cotton to give it a plump shape, and it will look more realistic.
If you want to feel even a little like you’re at Disney, give this a try!
decorated headband
Why not have fun making original headbands with your child? You’ll need felt, a headband, wood glue, and any decorations you like such as glitter or beads.
First, cut the felt into shapes like bat wings or a witch’s horns, then glue them on so they sandwich the headband.
After that, decorate with your favorite pieces and it’s done in no time.
There are no difficult steps and you can customize it however you like, so your child is sure to love it! Let’s make a lovely headband that can hold its own against any cute costume!
Origami Ribbon Headband
Let’s make a ribbon headband using origami! First, cut the origami paper in half.
Stack the two pieces, fold them in half lengthwise to make a long rectangle, then unfold.
Fold the top and bottom edges in to meet the center crease, slide the pieces to extend the length, secure with tape, fold in half again to make it long and narrow, and glue it together.
The base is done! For the ribbon, stack two sheets of origami, cut off one quarter, then accordion-fold the remaining piece.
Tape the center and fan it out to form the ribbon shape.
Fold the cut-off strip into a long narrow piece and wrap it around the center together with the base.
Finally, punch holes in both ends of the base, thread a rubber band through, and your ribbon headband is complete!
cat ear headband
Here’s a cat-ear headband you can make using a tissue box! First, cut out the side panel of the tissue box.
Then cut that piece in half lengthwise.
It won’t be long enough as is, so cut out additional strips from the remaining parts of the box in the same way and connect them to extend the length.
This will be the base of the headband.
Glue two strips together, form them into a circle, and let them dry for a full day while keeping the shape.
Using clothespins or similar clips helps hold it in place.
Once dry, cover it with black construction paper, then attach cat ears made from the same paper, and you’re done! Drying for a day helps it keep its shape so it can be worn on your head, so don’t skip this step.
