Our last 14 for the 14th is a super easy DIY project! This bronze headband was made with some left over spray paint and an inexpensive headband I fell in love with at Claire’s. It’s just, once I put it on, it blended in with my hair too much! So I decided it needed a face-lift, preferably one with a bit of sparkle while still leaving it a subtle embellishment.
Materials:
- Headband
- Bronze Spray Paint
- Newspaper
Instructions:
- Lay out your newspaper on the floor, some place outside.
- Spray your headband with a light layer of paint.
- Allow to dry for a couple minutes, then flip the headband and repeat on the other side.
- Give this layer time to dry completely. Or become impatient, as I did, and continue to the next step only 5 minutes later.
- Repeat steps 2 & 3 with a second layer of paint, to be sure your headband is completely covered.
- Actually allow this to dry completely! You don’t want paint/the smell of paint in your hair.

This bottom-left image is a little goofy, huh? Ah well, here’s a no-headband and with-headband image sequence so you can see how a small accessory can add a lot to an outfit! Happy Valentine’s Day! I hope everyone has a wonderful day, weather you’re getting fancy, baking food, or just sitting home and watching Netflix on the couch (honestly, that’s my favorite Valentine’s Day!

You’ll get the hang of it real quick Krystal, I’m sure of it! Just put something underneath your item so you don’t paint the floor, if you’re outside make sure the wind isn’t going to blow paint back at you, and be sure you don’t spray too close to the item or it will clump and drip! Good luck!!
