Welcome to a new series on Oh My! Creative. This is the first Member Monday Feature, and our debut spotlight is an adorable DIY Halloween headband by VixonMade. Her daughter models it beautifully and it’s a delightful, easy project for the season.
What is the Member Monday Feature? If you are a member of the Oh My! Creative community and have shared a few projects on the site, this series gives older posts new life. Many bloggers have early tutorials and projects that still deserve attention but have been tucked away—Member Monday highlights those gems.
If you have an original creative post—such as a DIY tutorial, recipe, party idea, or a home tour—that fits with Oh My! Creative’s content, I’d love to feature it. I’m looking for your own creative work rather than curated inspiration or personal diary-style posts. Featured submissions will be posted on the blog with a backlink to the original and promoted on social media. If you’re interested in having an older post featured, please contact Susan at [email protected].
Now, onto the Halloween headband tutorial from VixonMade. It’s a simple, charming accessory built around rolled fabric rosettes and a few embellishments—perfect for kids and adults who love festive headwear.
Materials you’ll need:
- Fabric scraps (black, orange, or any coordinating colors)
- Buttons, rhinestones, or small embellishments
- A plain headband
- Felt scraps (for backing)
- Hot glue gun and glue sticks
The focal element is a rolled rosette. To make one, cut a strip of fabric—the length determines the rosette’s size. Tie a small knot at one end to form the center. Fold the strip widthwise so the right side of the fabric faces outward as you roll.
Twist and wrap the fabric around the knot, adding small dabs of hot glue as needed to secure each layer. Keep the rosette tight and relatively flat; a little fraying at the edges adds a rustic, handcrafted look that works well for Halloween.
Make several rosettes in different sizes, colors, and textures for visual interest. Combining satin, cotton, and frayed linen can create a layered, tactile effect.
Once you have the rosettes, choose embellishments—black tulle, a rhinestone, or a decorative button are great options. Arrange the rosettes and embellishments on a felt scrap to finalize the composition before attaching them to the headband.
Glue the pieces onto the felt base, allowing the glue to cool and set for a few minutes. The felt backing acts as an anchor and makes it easier to attach the finished cluster to the headband.
Trim the felt around the cluster to create a neat shape, then cut another matching felt piece. Position the headband where you want the decoration to sit, sandwich the headband between the two felt pieces, and secure with hot glue.
Let the glue fully cool, then try on the headband and make any final adjustments. The felt backing keeps everything stable and comfortable when worn. Create multiple versions in different color schemes and sizes to build a festive collection for Halloween outings, school events, or holiday photos.
This DIY Halloween headband is quick, customizable, and a fun way to celebrate the season with a handmade touch.
