THE MEGA BOW

photos/post/graphic design: Kristin Ess

Just a warning, we’re holiday freaks. A few weeks ago I was making a Target run and saw these massive bows being put out as the Halloween stuff was being carted away. With all of the fun holiday parties coming up, I couldn’t resist making this into an oversized bow headband. I’ve worn this to a couple of parties now and it’s been a smash every time. It’s definitely not for everyone but those of you who enjoy making a little spectacle– this one’s for you! Literally the easiest (and maybe cheapest) DIY on TBD. The “Mega Bow” is $5 and the headband is free if you have one laying around the house. Up top we paired this massive gem with the Very Veronica waves tutorial. In the bottom photo we paired it with my favorite Wand + Flat Iron trick.

The “Mega Bow” comes in a bunch of different colors. I went with the classics and am insanely obsessed with the gold one.

Peel + stick the label to your headband of choice. I like to stick the bow slightly off center.

Wrap the paper around. You can hot glue it to the headband for extra security if you think it’s gonna be a wild night!

Enjoy your parties! If you do this, tag us on Instagram @thebeautydept! We’d love to see your mega bow and which hairstyle that you pair it with!

PS: I didn’t see these on target.com so I think you have to pop into the actual store.
