Accessory Design: Create a Headband Collection

Betto García gets started by telling you how he fell in love with fashion, particularly accessories, and how he managed to set up his very own brand. He also talks about some of his influences when it comes to creating his collections.

Take a look some of the current headband trends, and the materials needed to craft your own, before creating a mood board for your final project and selecting the colors and fabrics.

Start with a basic or flat headband, which you can keep simple or adorn with some decorative pieces. Then, discover the padded headband, one of the main trends in recent years.

Betto explains the moulage technique and how to apply it to basic headbands, as well as types of stitches and knots for finishing off your piece. Learn how to embroider beading to make jewel headbands.

As well as knowing how to physically make your headbands, you have to know how to sell them and present them to the world via social media. Betto wraps up the course by showing you how to create a set for taking photographs and the perfect packaging.
