Hello friends, happy NeedleWorkMonday! Merry Christmas to all. I hope your week begins with many blessings and concrete plans. Last week flew by. Before I knew it, it was Sunday, and I hadn't prepared anything for it. Since I'm busy with Christmas preparations, my friend suggested I make her a headband to wear during the holidays. She loves wearing headbands at Christmas. I asked her how she wanted it, and she explained the design. It was one that suits her hair type perfectly. She has thick, curly hair, and this design fits her hair volume beautifully. It's a red and white fabric bandana shaped like a candy cane, with some additional details I added: red cherries and some green patterned fabric leaves left over from a previous project. She didn't have the fabric, so I gave it to her as a surprise.

I tried on this headband and it looks super cute! I was inspired to make one for myself too. I hope you like it and are inspired to wear an easy and simple handmade headband. It's lovely for little girls. I already have two clients who don't pay because they're my nieces. One wants one in green and white fabric, and the other wants one in red and white like the one I made for my friend.

The photos you'll see below were taken with my Tecno Spark Go phone.

Hola amigos, feliz día de NeedleWorkMonday, feliz Navidad para todos, espero que su semana comience con muchas bendiciones y planes concretos, la semana pasada se me fue muy rápido, cuando me di cuenta de que los días pasaron tan rápido, ya era domingo y no tenía algo preparado para este día así que como ando en los preparativos de Navidad mi amiga me sugirió que le hiciera un cintillo para lucirlo en estos días de Navidad, a ella le encanta usar estos atuendos en Navidad, le pregunte que como lo quería, me explico el diseño, era uno que se adapta muy bien a su tipo de cabello, ella es de cabello abundante y rizado y este diseño se ajusta muy bien a su volumen de cabello, una bandana de tela de color rojo con blanco, para hacer un bastón de caramelo, con unos detalles adicionales que le coloque, de cerezas rojas, y unas hojas de tela estampada con verde, que me quedo de uno de mis trabajos anteriores, ella no tenía las telas y se las regale, para sorprenderla.

Me probé este cintillo y queda súper lindo, me anime a hacerme uno para mí también, espero les guste y se animen a usar un cintillo hecho a mano fácil y sencillo, es lindo para las niñas, ya tengo 2 clientas que no pagan porque son mis sobrinas, una quiere uno tela verde y blanco y la otra quiere uno de rojo y blanco como el que le hice a mi amiga.

Las fotografías que verán a continuación, fueron tomadas con mi teléfono modelo TECNO SPARK GO.

To make this candy headband, we'll use very simple materials and techniques.
Red and white fabric, red or white thread, a piece of sponge, scissors, a needle, and let's get started!

Para hacer este cintillo de caramelo, usaremos materiales y técnicas muy sencillos.
Tela roja y blanca, hilo rojo o blanco, un trozo de esponja, tijera, una aguja, ¡y a empezar!

Cut 17 rectangles of fabric 3 cm wide, 5 cm long, thread a needle with thread, or if you prefer, using a machine will be much easier, sew each of the rectangles, alternating the colors.

Corta 17 rectángulos de tela de 3 cm de ancho, 5 cm de largo, enhebra una aguja con hilo, o si lo prefieres en máquina será mucho más fácil, cose cada uno de los rectángulos, intercalando los colores.

After sewing the pieces of fabric together, you will have a 50 cm long ribbon. Next, cut a 60 cm long white ribbon and sew it together with the 50 cm ribbon on the right sides. Then turn it inside out to make a double ribbon, leaving the ends of the headband unsewn.

Tras coser las piezas de tela, tendrás una cinta de 50 cm de largo. A continuación, corta una cinta blanca de 60 cm de largo y cósela junto con la cinta de 50 cm por el derecho. Después, dale la vuelta para formar una cinta doble, dejando los extremos del cintillo sin coser.

We'll take the measurements of the ribbon, width by length, to cut the sponge that will be used as padding for the headband. The padding measures 30 cm long x 5 cm wide. The sponge is placed in the center of the headband, and the ends are sewn so they don't roll or distort the headband.

At this point, the headband is finished, but I'm not entirely happy with how simple it looks. I wanted to give it a different touch, so I cut some circles from red fabric, stuffed them with sponge, and sewed them together to make little red fabric balls. I also got a piece of green patterned fabric for the leaves and decoration.

Tomaremos las medidas de la cinta, ancho por largo, para cortar la esponja que usaremos como relleno para el cintillo. El relleno mide 30 cm de largo x 5 cm de ancho. La esponja se coloca en el centro del cintillo y se cosen los extremos para que no se enrollen ni deformen.

En este punto, el cintillo está listo, como no me convencia, lo simple que se veía, quería darle un toque diferente, así que corte unos círculos de tela roja, los rellene con esponja y cosí para hacer unas bolitas de tela roja, también conseguí un trozo de tela con estampado verde para las hojas y decore.

The headband looks so pretty! I tried it on and it looks amazing. It fits really well, feels comfortable and soft, and is a cute and easy accessory to make. I hope you like it, and if you're not ready to wear it yourself, make it for your little girls—I'm sure they'll love it! It's also very easy to use; just tie a knot with the leftover ends at the nape of the neck, and you're done! This size fits girls perfectly.

Thank you for visiting my post and for leaving your kind comment. Thank you for always being here. I wish you many blessings in your life, and we'll meet again in another of my posts. Hugs!

El cintillo se ve precioso! Me lo probé y me quedó increíble. Se ajusta de maravilla, es cómoda y suave, y es un accesorio bonito y fácil de hacer. Espero que les guste, y si no se animan a usarla, ¡hazla para sus niñas! ¡Seguro que les encantará! Además, es muy fácil de usar: solo tienen que hacer un nudo con los extremos sobrantes en la nuca, ¡y listo! Esta talla le queda perfecta tambien a las niñas.

Te agradezco la visita a mi publicación, y por dejar tu amoroso comentario, gracias por estar siempre, deseo, mil bendiciones para tu vida, nos volveremos a encontrar en otra de mis publicaciones, abrazos!
