D.I.Y: Neon Headband

The summer is as hot as ever and the neon trend is still going strong. Here's a twist on the nautical rope headband. So let's get to it!

I wasn't able to find neon colored rope so I bought nylon rope and freshened it up with two coats of acrylic paint. 

1. Cut three 18-inch strands of rope and glue them together. Cut an 8-inch strand of elastic.

2. Sew on the elastic. 

3.  Glue a small piece(around 4 inches) of ribbon and wrap around a couple of times to cover up the stitches.  

4. Braid the rope and after you're done repeat the above steps on the other side. Your finished headband should look like this.

This summer more and more people are opting for retro inspired bathing suits with a modern twist. Besides thinking they're cute, I've always liked them for what they represent. Women in the 1940s and 50s didn't have this pressure to be skinny, they were real women with real curves. There wasn't a certain body type that was considered to be ideal. These women had confidence! They also had a certain playfulness to them and just because they were more covered up that didn't stop them from being sexy.
