You can use childrens tights or knee high nylons. They are a must have accessory for a new baby girl.

When gluing the ribbon loop, make sure you don't get glue under the ribbon on the top. Your flower or hair clips should be able to slide under the ribbon to make an interchangeable headband. :)<br /><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 252px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVYSqZgUO6HDOfImqassPofN_sNf7EbSEZQ204eIsnm7hqu_zEG7mbI8h-UEl5HFly4hAeabZCav1NYWsPEtyjrA_IBeCjbxtZuMZCfHLMdy4zcWp0hlWr5MxsRQPkBscpghyphenhyphenqF1DggTyS/s400/31.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5318614055892388194" /><br /><br /><center><object width="350" height="283"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Wge11KVp0oA&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Wge11KVp0oA&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="350" height="283"></embed></object></center><br /><center>Video courtesy of <a href="http://www.bowsbyjessa.etsy.com" target="blank">Bows by Jessa</a></center>Make Bows & Morehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03126675761984211086noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4224654888955183641.post-12155810001930990322008-11-16T09:13:00.000-08:002009-02-10T12:20:34.905-08:00Nylon Headband Instructions<br>Nylon Headband Instructions also on <a href="http://elizabethkartchner.blogspot.com">Elizabeth Kartchner</a> <a href="http://elizabethkartchner.blogspot.com/2008/08/ive-gotten-quite-few-emails-about.html">knee highs aren't just for the lunch lady</a>.Make Bows & Morehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03126675761984211086noreply@blogger.com0
