People often say that style shows from the feet up.

Once you’ve decided on your main outfit, it’s worth paying attention to socks and hair accessories, too.

Here’s a simple “headband” you can make easily.

Try creating a lovely headband to match your outfit’s colors or your team colors.

The basic process is like making a sash.

Thread elastic through that sash and you’ve basically got it.

Have fun with different decorations, like making the whole thing ruched or stitching in individual names.

It’s best to shape the bow knot so it won’t come undone and sew it in place.

Do you know what a wrist bouquet is? It’s something a bride wears at her wedding—literally a bouquet worn on the wrist.

It’s small and cute, yet still has a touch of elegance as a wrist accessory.

Wedding wrist bouquets can be made with fresh or preserved flowers, but if children are going to wear them at a sports day, artificial flowers are a better choice! Also, some artificial flowers come with parts that have holes for threading a ribbon.

If you use those, you can simply thread the ribbon through and tie it, making them easy to create!

Wristband made from fruit protective netting

These fruit-net wristbands are easy enough for kids to make on their own! For the part that goes around the wrist, use the stretchy netting that comes wrapped around fruit when you buy it, so all you need to make is the decoration! Create eye-catching embellishments using origami paper, cardstock, or colored cellophane.

Finally, staple your decoration to the net and you’re done! The key is to finish it with bright, vivid colors that stand out even from a distance.
