How to Make a DIY Beaded Headband?

Step 1: Gather Your Supplies

You will need:

You can also keep your beads in a tray so they don’t roll away.
I kept my beads in small bowls. It helped me see all colors easily and saved time.
The first time I did this, I dropped beads all over the floor. It took me forever to clean up!

Step 2: Choose Your Bead Design

Plan how you want your headband to look. You can try using a love heart bead design or make a pattern with different colors.

Try mixing shiny, clear, or even glitter beads. This is the fun part—use your imagination!
I used rainbow colors in one headband and my friend loved it so much, she asked for one too!
One time I didn’t plan and just added random beads. It didn’t look nice, and I had to start over.

Step 3: Start Adding Beads to the Headband

Use craft wire or strong thread to attach beads to your acrylic headband. Wrap the wire tightly around the headband and slide one bead at a time. If your headband has holes, you can use a needle and thread instead.

This is like an acrylic bead tutorial—take your time and make sure each bead is fixed properly.
I used thin wire and it held the beads tightly in place. It looked neat too.
I tried hot glue once, but it got messy. The glue dried too fast and stuck to my fingers.

Step 4: Finish the Ends Neatly

When you finish adding beads, tuck the wire or thread ends carefully. You can use a little glue to hold the last bead in place. Make sure nothing sharp is poking out.

I used clear glue at the end, and it dried invisible. It looked very clean!

I didn’t secure one end properly and the beads started to move. I had to re-wrap it all again.

Step 5: Try It On and Show It Off

Now that your DIY beaded headband is ready, wear it and show your style! You can wear it with ponytails, braids, or just loose hair.

These headbands also make great gifts for friends and family. If you make many, store them in an acrylic headband organizer or display them on an acrylic headband display so everyone can see your beautiful work.
I wore my first headband to a school function and got so many compliments!

One headband had very big beads, and it felt heavy. Now I use small to medium beads only.
