I am confused on how to start and end it without it looking like poop!!!! Any ideas there?? Do you cut on an angle and start wrapping at a certain angle??

Here are some pics I have demonstratiing the beginning and end of doing the headband. I used both 3/8" and 3/4" headbands and 3/8" and 5/8" ribbon. In the second picture I show how you need to leave a tiny bit of ribbon hanging over the edge. If you don't do this, then the white of the plastic will be visible with no way to cover it. I do this on both sides. This is where I add fabri-tac (or e-6000) glue and hold closed with the alligator clips. It dries hard and you will never know that the headband doesn't actually end there.

I use 1/4" velcro to hold the headband in place. It works better than my no slip grip which is silicone. The double sided tape I use is Sealah brand or Specialty Tape. There are usually group buys going on for the second one. I would not use any double sided tape you find in the stores. They are not commercial grade as these are. Hth! Oh, I also don't overlap my ribbon. I just hold it really tight as I am wrapping it and make sure the ends touch with no gaps in the ribbon at all. The only place I have to overlap is when beginning and ending the ribbon. I have to do that to change my angle. Last edited by devilicious; 01-14-2010 at 03:55. |
