Let's take a closer look at the ways to create the most popular and fashionable head jewelry:

• Turban embellished with rhinestones in mixed materials. To do this, you will need: two pieces of fabric 65 cm long and 30 cm wide (knitwear and stretching satin will be an excellent combination), threads, scissors, pins, rhinestones for decoration. First you need to sew two bandages from the fabric taken. Fold each cut in half with the right side inward and sew the product along the length, leaving small allowances. Then iron the seam. After that, stretch one end of the bandage inside to the other end and sew them, leaving a small distance for turning. Then turn out the product and sew up the left area. After that, lay out the two sewn elements in the form of circles and thread one part into another. It turns out that the two circles joined together and formed a turban. The interweaving of the two parts should be fixed manually with threads, and the front part of the bandage should be decorated with rhinestones.

• Headband with ethnic motives and a large bow decoration. In addition to sewing tools and printed fabric, you will need elastic tape and non-woven fabric. According to the principle of the previous model, it is necessary to sew a bandage 32 cm wide and 3 cm longer than the head circumference. Do not sew up the small opening for turning inside out and insert the elastic so that the bandage gathers a little. Sew the tape and seam of the bandage. As a jumper, take a piece of fabric 11 x 9 cm, and for bows - 2 pieces 24 x 16 and 28 x 16 cm. For three elements, cut out doubles from non-woven fabric. Fold all parts in half with the right side inward and sew separately, leaving allowances. Turn out all the details, fold the jumper in half and close the seam on the bandage. Sew on the inside of the product. Fold the bow blanks in width, gather on one side and sew. Then fold the resulting elements obliquely together and sew to the inside in the area of ​​the lintel.

• Solokha with flexible edges. You need to take a piece of fabric (for example, silk) 80 cm long and 15 cm wide, 75 cm long millimeter wire, threads, wire cutters and round-nose pliers. Fold the strip of fabric in half with the right side inward and make the ends oblique or triangular. Sew the bandage, leaving a small opening in the middle and turn the product inside out. To prevent the wire from breaking through the fabric, you need to round off its ends with round-nose pliers.Then thread the wire inside and fix it with a thread into the loops obtained. Sew up the hole. Due to the wire, such a product has a universal size and keeps its shape well.
