We wanted - scratch that, needed - the hair accessories from the Dolce & Gabbana and Oscar de la Renta fall collections the moment we saw them. And short of befriending the designers (we wish), a craft project was the best way we knew to get our hands on them. Here, we give you the seriously simple step-by-step. 

When we saw these rosette- and pearl-adorned crowns on Dolce & Gabbana’s Fall 2012 runway, we 1) hyperventilated, then 2) ran to the craft store.

• A black fabric headband, 1 to 1.5” wide
• Assorted decorative rosettes, pearls and jewels 
• Gold filigree charms
• Lace
• Strong glue such as E6000, or a hot glue gun
• Scissors
• Needle and thread

Attach each pearl to a filigree charm using glue. Giving the pearls a flat base will make it easier to glue them on the headband.

Cut a piece of lace about 3 inches long.

Fold lace randomly and sew the material to a jewel-shaped bead.

Starting in the center, begin gluing lace accents, pearls and other materials to the headband. We went with a random placement, but neat rows would look amazing, too.

Keep adding pieces to the headband. Go crazy! Each of the pieces on Dolce & Gabbana’s runway was a little different; so there’s no wrong way to build yours.

Gorgeous, no?

We knew these ribbon headbands from Oscar de la Renta’s fall runway would be super easy to recreate (the artfully undone faux bob is another story...).

• A rhinestone brooch
• 2 yards of ribbon, about 1- to 1.5-inches wide
• Scissors
• Glue (optional)

Wrap the ribbon around your head, leaving about 18 inches at the bottom - a little longer than you’ll want the headband to hang in back.

Cut the ribbon at an angle to prevent fraying.

Fold the ribbon in half and make a crease in the middle.

In the spot where you made a crease, pinch the ribbon and pin the brooch in the center.

A drop of glue can keep the brooch from wobbling.

If you’re feeling particularly detail-oriented, iron any wrinkles out of the ribbon (we used a mini flat iron).

Just add teased hair! Now you’re in business.
