A strand of embroidered ribbon - vintage or picked up from your local craft store - makes a fantastic and refreshing makeshift headband.

Braided leather can be found in the form of bracelets, necklaces, or fabric trim. No matter where you find yours, it can bring a little extra bling to your overall look.

3. Fringe Trim

Channeling the fashionable hippies of the '60s, a little leather fringe goes a long way.

4. Floral Scarf

Grandma's antique scarf can look hip and surprisingly new-fangled knotted as a headband.

5. Studded Jewelry

Grab your favorite necklace and fasten it around your forehead instead. Don't factor out pendant and drop-charm necklaces - they add serious sass.
