These are the instructions to embellish a simple headband with beads, with a simple, linear design. The beads may vary in shapes and sizes, but keep use only two types per headband. Basically it is made up with center beads attached between a pair of beads.

Materials:

1.  Plain metal headband

2. Pearls of any size (8mm round freshwater pearls in this case)

3.  Crystals (4mm bicone shaped in this case)

4.  28-26 gauge wire

5. Sturdy scissors or a pair of small cutter  pliers

Cut about 1 meter of wire and find the middle. Place this middle at one end of the headband base and wrap the wire twice.

Add the "side" beads, one at each string of wire

String the "center" bead with both wire ends and pull towards the other two beads tightly

String another two "side" beads, one into each wire end. Push towards the "center" bead tightly.

Cross both wire ends in the inner face of the headband base.

Tighten the cross at the inner face of the headband base, make sure the beads are all attached and arranged tightly, without any dangling.

Bring both wire ends to the outer side of the headband and string another two "side" beads at each wire end. Push to meet with last section.

String another "center" bead with both wire ends. Push tightly against the two last "side" beads

Add another two "side" beads, one at each wire end. Push towards the last "center" bead. Cross both wire ends at the inner face of headband base.

Tighten both wire ends to secure all beads.

Repeat until desired length of embellishment is reached.
