My husband altered a regular men's shirt into a steampunk shirt with removeable collar. The original collar was set aside in our scrap pile. I found it recently and decided it would make a nifty headband. Afterall, if people can make ties into so many things, why not collars?
The camera I used to take the "before pictures" ran out of juice (and we left the battery at my mother's place), so those pictures will be added later. But here is the end result.
I'm pretty happy with the results and plan on making more. I did try adding some buttons to this for a cute feel, but it just didn't look right given that I intend to wear this to work on casual Fridays.

you know i never thought of doing anything with collars. now you have opened my eyes! thanks!
Thanks! I hated the thought of wasting perfectly good (and already lined and interfaced) material. Headbands came to me because I'm constantly thinking of them for my daughter. :-)
