2 Easy DIY Birthday Headbands Inspired by Amanda Gorman
There is always a reason to celebrate yourself, but you have the perfect excuse to take that celebration up a notch when your birthday comes around.
For that reason, I was excited that we were launching Birthday Craft Classes and wanted to come up with an easy DIY for born day lovers like myself. The inspiration for this craft started with my love for accessorizing with head scarfs, bandannas, and headbands. And after finding out that Amanda Gorman’s birthday was this month (March 7th), I knew just what to do.
I was one of the millions who were blown away by her talent and style during the inauguration and, of course, this headband moment.
