DIY Inspiration - Elastic Headband

In June, I posted a very easy headband tutorial (below) using fabric scraps and elastic.  My version was very basic with a tribal print design, but you could really do anything you want - the possibilities are endless!  Here is some DIY inspiration I found online.

Start with a basic fabric and elastic band, then sew on pretty patches or big fake flowers, or consider swapping out the fabric scrap for a band of lace or chain.
