If I take a thicker silk & tie it I get a knot that looks similar or if you have any thoughts about that? As far as the rest how would I go about putting hidden elastic? I think it would need some stretch & I dont think I want the elastic to show if I wear it like the photo.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. :flower:

The easiest way (and maybe the lazy way) to do it would be to just tie a strip of silk around your head, make a knot and fold the extra under. The knot is the only thing that makes it different from other headbands..if you want to experiment with elastic casings, here are some tutorials:-

Hope I helped!

credit to me.

I actually really like that! It's cute and i like the sort of diyness to it. It doesn't look like 'rough' or anything, just right. And one of the girl took a picture to her tailor and he apparently was able to whip one up for her asap. So i'm sure you could also do that.

ooh im feeling way inspired! great idea; & looks way cute petitpuppy

:D

I already posted this on the turban topic in trend spotting, but here goes

it's a 100cm x 100cm scarf folded into a triangle, rolled and then knotted, the ends are hidden inside

I found this on a fellow fashion blogger. Maybe it works. Well if you want to wear your underwear on your head..
