If you don’t remember how the rockstars of the Sixties and Seventies looked, just do a quick google search and you will see all the old school heroes connected by a few essential fashion items. The most prevalent item that they all wore, was the iconic floppy hat with a cool hatband. If you notice, they all have hatbands and hat decorations that look very crafty and homemade. In fact, on Instagram, and Etsy you will find many sellers that are customizing boho hippie style hats and charging a fortune for them. I recently found this boho hatband video tutorial by Naira Papyan, on YouTube, and she teaches us how to make a velcro hatband in a matter of minutes. You can also add all kinds of other things to further customize your hat, like pins, dried flowers, and feathers.
Materials For The Boho Hatband:
- A hat
- A strip of trim (brocade, embroidery, ribbon, leather, or even twine will work)
- Velcro
- A pair of scissors
- A lighter (to seal the ends)
- Thread (or fabric glue)
Directions:
In this boho hatband video tutorial by Naira Papyan, on YouTube, you will learn how to turn a plain hat into a boho rockstar hat. You start by measuring your trim to fit your hat.
Then, you attach the velcro to the ends of the hatband. You can sew it on, but it would be easiest to use fabric glue.
This method of hatband making is so easy, I just love it!
