For this project all you're going to need is ribbon (one about two inches thick and one less than half an inch thick), a glue gun, and heavy duty craft glue. I grabbed some ribbon at hobby lobby that I fell in love with and it was only $1.50 (half off sale!) for the roll, so this is also a very inexpensive project :). Just make sure the you pick out ribbons that don't have a wire edge and you're good to go.
Cut a piece of the thick ribbon 6 to 10 inches long, depending on how big you want your bow to be. Fold the ribbon into thirds, lengthwise, then fold one end to the halfway mark and glue it down. I tacked mine with a pin in this picture so you could see it a bit better. Now glue the other end to the halfway mark.
After both ends are secured to the middle, cut a strand of your thin ribbon, about two inches or however much it takes to wrap around the middle. Glue that guy into place with hot glue. When you flip it over you should have a very nice bow.
Play around until the bow is pulled how you like it, then cut a strand at least 3 feet long of your thin ribbon. About a foot in, glue your bow down with a heavy duty craft glue (I use E6000 that you can get at any craft stores).
Let your new headband dry overnight and wear it with pride the next day.
