stretchy headbands

[kbs226]

I bought a three pack of these crochet headbands (the stretchy ones) from Kohls and I wanted to try them on my 4 yr DD, attaching a clippie. She has long, thick, and curly hair. I can not get these things to stay in her hair longer than 5 minutes, sitting still!!!! I even tried 4 bobby pins around the base of her hairline pinned through the head band, and still sliding right off the back of her hair! Any suggestions?

No hints, but you sure have two cute kiddies!

I bought some skinny headbands that are no slip at walmart. I put that on my dd and then put the larger headband over it.

I think that I read in some threads that people have put a line of hot glue on the back and smoothed it down with their finger. Its worth a shot.

someone else used silcone to make a non-slip grip for crocheted slippers, I wonder if that would work fo r headbands?

Thanks for the ideas, I will give them a try. I think they are soo cute with the clippie attached. What are the best type of headbands to attach clippies to that will stay in place?

I like elastic lace
