Making Ribbon Browbands

[BijouBabe]

After wanting a new browband and seeing how much they were i had a bright idea to buy the stuff and make my own.....

Now im realising that i dont have the faintest idea on how to make the diamond pattern. If anyone knows how to make them please could you give me an idiots set of instructions? I have tried google and all i can find is the shark tooth pattern.
Nah, i think you made some a while ago???
Thanks

I'm still baffled about the diamond pattern, but I've mastered the chequered and sharks tooth patterns

Will follow this, as I'd like to try the diamond one too!

Look at head bands! I made my own diamond shaped ones and the diamond patterned headbands are the same

Bump?

Where do you get your browbands from to make into ribbon ones and how much do they cost?

 

[BijouBabe]

You can get them cheaply on ebay for 2 or 3£ you can get webbing ones for even less, just search for browband and put lowest first

Also what width ribbons do you need? Quite fancy having a go at this as it seems like a cheap way to make something pretty for my boy - not that he'll be overly impressed ha ha!

I use 7mm ideally

I use 7mm ideally

Thank you

I'm excited now, I remembered that when I bought my bridle the cob size browband was too small for Loki's fat head so I had to but a full and put the cob size one away as a spare (in case his head shrunk? I'm a bit of a hoarder ) anyway it'll fit my mum's mare so I've just bought some pink and blue ribbon and shall be hot glue gunning before the week is out
