For a truly professional look, handmade headbands are a solid choice for your millinery creations. They are more comfortable to wear than hard plastic headbands or clips and can be made to be almost invisible while still providing a supportive foundation for your headpieces.

In this tutorial, London millinery tutor Elena Shvab shows you how to make a wide millinery headband which can then be customised to get the perfect fit and match for any bespoke fascinator or headpiece. These headbands are made from 1.2mm cotton-covered millinery wire.
